Exclamation Encore Problem

A couple of years ago I purchased a MISB Encore Ironhide. Although the figure is fine, it is missing the instructions and sticker sheet. I went to see Mike at Raven Collectibles (seeing as he is an expert on all things TFs) to ask If there was a problem with this happening, to which he replied no. He suggested that I phone or email Takara Tomy about it. The only problem is, the North American site has nothing to do with TFs and I cannot read the Japanese one (nor do I think anyone there speaks english). I was wondering if this has happened to any of you guys and if there is a number I can call or an address to email about this sort of thing? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Encore Problem

Ewww, good luck with that. If you need stickers, I would just try to get them from Reprolabels instead. Or just buy another Encore Ironhide, that thing is on clearance everywhere it seems.

Re: Encore Problem

Well, I'm a teen and my mother doesn't like ordering online (got my Ironhide at a collectible shop) so that option is out of the question. Thanks for the help anyways, Pascal. Anybody else have some suggestions?

Re: Encore Problem

I think you can pay Reprolabels with check or money order (that you can guy at the post office) if you need to. Would be around $9 shipped.

Re: Encore Problem

Can you return it to the shop you bought it at?

Maybe she'll do it. What about instructions? Oh, and thank you again Pascal.

I doubt it he said he got it a couple years ago.

Re: Encore Problem

No, Richter. Oh, I now how to Transform it (whoever doesn't must have a very low IQ), it's just not complete without the real instructions.

Re: Encore Problem

If you don't catch it right away, you're typically 'up the creek', especially since it's an import.

My only issue ever was with the Japanese Insecticon re-issues and in that case, the eBay seller was awesome: he contacted Takara for me and sent me multiples of the stickers and biocards on his own dime.

Since this is Encore (where typically only the rare sealed ones hold their value), eBay would be your only hope to find instructions.
