Re: Anyone ever ordered something online from https://www.jamesrsirois.com?

Hrm... that does help, IF I'm that lucky, but I think all my bad luck in life was to bank it all for that drone. Now I'm screwed. lol


I looked on 3nup.ca and he retailed there for $345, so it's about a $150 markup. :/


Is it... odd.... that a part of me wishes I had stayed ignorant to the existence of the Masterpiece line? heh


Edit: I just realized that I might not have mentioned the drone. Or maybe I did. I'm to sleep deprived to care enough to go up and look. lol


I found on Henrys.com an open box DJI Mavic 2 Pro for $1000 off. So, half off. I called, expecting damage, maybe some leaves and branches in the box, but apparently the guy got it, maybe as a birthday gift, opened it, and said, "Nope, I don't want it." and took it back to the store............. 0.o?


Ya fo me? lol


The problem is, as Wervenom and MapleMegatron will attest to, I only started collecting thees things about a year ago. I... would be embarrassed, to show you what I have bought in 1 year. lol

It's the late tax pure and simple. If you don't buy it right away you'll pay more for it later, especially with Fans Toys

Yup, Show Z always declares the orders for really low values, so you NEVER get charged taxes/duty. Customs also can't prove what the items are worth since they are unofficial items not really sold in Canada.

Re: Anyone ever ordered something online from https://www.jamesrsirois.com?

Do you think Takara will ever make him, and even if they do, will they continue down this road I hate where they feverishly work to represent a very expensive piece of plastic in as small a colour palette as they can to try to look like a cartoon made for kids, in the 80's.....



I'm sorry, but Bluestreak+, other than the weapon effects, was probably the most drab looking thing I've seen them make yet... Now, I love the blue windows. I wish there was a non-destructive way to change out the windshields but I haven't had time to look to much into it. So far from just a quick visual, it doesn't look possible. But even Prowl+ looks drab around his upper legs and the weapon that isn't even fully painted.


I actually considered seeing if I could take my Hasbro Prowl and replace the upper legs and hip if possible, with the one on the +, but I don't know if that is even possible, let alone, doable without causing damage.


Of course, I feel the same about missing out on Omega, as he was another of my favorites as a kid, but I just got FT-16M and MP-45 will apparently show up when DHL figures out where they put it.... (That wasn't a joke BTW.....)


Edit: Just thought to ask, is there a site that consistently reports on upcoming releases and reissues that are going to be going up for pre-order on sites soon? So I don't miss this crap in the future.


Thanks
