MP11SW Skywarp...where to pre-order?

[CanBot]

Guys, it should go without saying I need the new Skywarp in the MP11 mold.

From what I read, this bot is going to be a limited edition release...but since I'm not too familiar with these things, I just want to know where you guys are preordering from.

I don't really want to go through BBTS as I don't want to think of the fees I'll have to pay. After all is said and done, it'll be close to 300 easy. Not what I'd like to pay.

There's a few on ebay going for a stupid amount, plus Canadian shipping bumps it to well over 300. The seller is pushing the limited edition thing hard, but is it true that he's going to be very difficult to find?

I'm almost ready to pre-order through BBTS, just so I make sure I get one, but before I do that I wanted to ask you guys. I've learned that waiting is seldom a good idea, and I was really hoping that the asia release wasn't going to be some kinda rare thing. I mean, we all need Skywarp, right? Well, I sure do! I don't wanna pay more than I did for SS, though...what sense does that make?

Not only that, but the BBTS listing for another Sunstorm is also pricier than SS...not sure why. Yes, it looks cool, but I feel the original 3 guys are where it's at.

Thoughts?..thanks!

The asking price for this Hasbro Asia exclusive MP-11SW is damn right ridiculous. I love MP but I love my money more. I'd just wait and see if Takara will release this. If not, I can live without it.

same here, since we have so many seeker repaint, I can live without it.

Since it's a limited release, which I wasn't aware of, you could go the route of TFSource, even though buying from them traditionally costs more than other places that our board mates could more readily suggest. I only suggest them because their "bulletproof packaging" will ensure that your mint box actually arrives in mint condition.

Unfortunately I don't think I can live without a Skywarp in the new mold, so I'll need to see the link above for shipping. But since it's from the US, it's a bit cheaper from BBTS. They'll both likely get dinged with customs.

Are there any overseas pre-orders that you guys would suggest?

Robotkingdom and EhobbyBaseShop both have him listed for $169.
I ordered a couple from them and as long as I don't get hit with import fees hopefully after shipping fees he'll be cheaper than getting him from a domestic North American seller.
