Maketoys half decade sale

[Chigimus]

This came across my Facebook feed and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere here on these boards. So it looks like for a 5-year anniversary of being in the business, Maketoys is offering some customer appreciation deals to buy directly from them. For example:

Cupola: $90
Yellow Giant: $325
Visualizers: $80
TrashTalk, CogWheel, RearEnd with Hurricane updgrade kit and My First Blaster: $100
Despotron: $100

$16.95 flat shipping as well. Not too bad if you missed out on some oldie-but-goodies.

If anyone is interested in TrashTalk and CogWheel still but doesn't need RearEnd, please PM me. I would really like to break that set up and share the cost with someone on that trio deal. I don't even want MFB or the Hurricane upgrade kit.

It doesn't say how long the sale will run, but if you're really curious, you could always try asking MakeToys on their FB page.

Yes, pricing is in USD. Maketoys is based out of Japan but strangely, they're shipping out of Hong Kong this time around even though I bought Hypernovae direct from them before and they shipped from Japan back then.

Just a heads up, I got my order from them last night but got hit with customs. Good news though is that customs converted the currency and charged me tax based on the CAD equivalent value, so the tax wasn't as much. Maybe try to get them to undervalue the item if there's a comments section (I don't remember if there is one); marking it as a gift on the declarations form did not help.

What did you end up getting? I was debating on Visualizers set but I'm saving for the Dinobots.

Despotron, which now that I had to pay about an extra $15 thanks to customs, it no longer seems like quite as good a deal. I might just sell him instead for that price, lol.
