So not good news, I take it...Tracks was sort of similar from what I remember 6-7 weeks, something like that.

Oh well, $140 down the drain. Serves me right. Should have bought groceries with the money. Dumass.

I'm still waiting on mine from NY too, so you are not alone. I paid with Paypal so I will likely file a dispute if I don't see it in February. Certain credit cards also provide buyer protection. I have seen messages from others about their missing MP Infernos, it wasn't just NY either, some were from AE.

Funny thing is that I ordered some custom Lego from eBay in late November, seller is in HK and I am waiting on that as well. I contacted them and they asked me to wait until Feb 10th and they would do something. There is definitely something going on with packages from Asia around that time.

Thanks for your input.

How much more time are you likely to wait before filing a claim with PP, until late Feb? I also noticed that NY will cancel all your existing orders / close your account if you open a dispute with PP, without contacting them first. Wow...I'm assuming if you do contact them prior to opening a dispute they're likely to do nothing, right?

I got mine from N-Y last Friday. exactly 2 months from when it shipped. So I'd say wait. As ppl have said it shipped just after Black Friday and I believe some kind of Asian "black friday". First time I've ever had to wait that long.

If you sent by SAL registered you can always ask NY to have SAL initiate a trace from their end.

I think issue is Canada Post and Custom. I waited 8 weeks for my Black Friday sales order from Australia when I usually got my order in 2-3 weeks from the same store down under.

Here's hope for you guys still waiting for MP Inferno -- mine finally showed up today, almost exactly two months after it shipped. Whew!

Love this mold. Top two are Wing Thing and Shattered Glass Ratbat customs I made for DuG. Comic Ratbat is from the new GI JOE crossover FunPub exclusive. Clear Ratbat is not a KO. It's origin is a mystery.

There's a new MP-10 reissue coming out soon? How many times are they going to reissue him? And he's going to be $220 US

[Devastator55]

I think they will forever reissue MP-10. Optimus and Megatron will be that piece that captures new collectors. I can say that's how it started for me. Got MP-10 for my birthday and the rest is history.

Can you imagine collecting all the rest of the masterpiece and you missing Optimus and have to pay much more for him in the aftermarket. I think Takara thought it through from a business point of view and moral.

Yeah at 220$ US? Which means it be will around 270 CND. That's too expensive for a Masterpiece.

[elburrito]

maybe a little more than that! but ive seen a few MP
10s kicking around sales threads on these boards for less. btw, DO NOT ORDER THINGS THAT ARE LISTED IN USD! Yen, Won, HKD, CDN or even Malaysian Ringots sure. if you pay to convert your CAD to USD and factor in the conversion (roughly 1:1.32 right now) then you are getting hosed.
