And according to the toyfair news I saw, looks like this is it for a while. So no Road Rage :( and I just passed up a good sale price so I could support local retailers. Sigh.

We should be getting MP Road Rage (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=22102). Perhaps it's been delayed by a few months, similar to what's happened with LG10 Arcee (which was initially speculated to be released around last Sept/Oct but has only hit stores this month).

[Major_K]

Well yeah, delayed. Not any time soon. Just missed a really good sale price as I thought it would be out soonish. But alas, no.

I've already got tracks but waiting on road rag. it wouldn't be so bad if they just kept the price right. That's why they still have so much old stuff. Generally I'll laybuy and hold it to wait for a sale XD

Road rage IS about only $65.50 or less (delivered), I am not sure why anyone want to pay more.

Fair enough, where can i find it for that much?

* Customer service
* Familiarity & relationship with existing Supplier(s)
* Payment upfront vs once item is available

Lowest price is not the only consideration for some people. ;)

All ticked.
But yeah by all means pay $150 when I can give one as a present to someone else here on the board. :o

Nippon Yasan is still having it on sale.

If you are paying in jpy PAYPAL its normally cheaper than paying the Aust currency which they offered at $65.50

I don't get their shipping options, it was ~AU$25 for EMS and ~AU$33 for SAL! :confused:

Note I am talking about road rage or maybe tracks. If you want other MPs, there are other places to buy. It sounds like many are thinking there is only one place to buy everything which is not true.

But by all means go and shoot more ridiculous mp prices for the older models.
I am just pointing out to a member where to buy road rage cheaply. That is all.

[drifand]

Ems is good for certain things and fast delivery.
Sal is the normal air mail
Economy sal is what I use for mp cars as I never lost a parcel from my parcel locker yet.

For bigger items I even use ship surface as I have no rush for toys but each one is different and you pick what suits you best.

I mean the prices are weird. For example, HLJ (https://www.hlj.com/product/TKT83393) has Road Rage for only about AU$4 more than NY, but SAL shipping is only ~AU$9, while EMS is ~AU$16!

Basically NY is gouging severely on shipping!

Hlj has a deal with the Japan post hence prices are cheaper for shipping.
Hope that helps.

Amiami also has shipping prices similarly to ny

End of the day you weigh up what's best. Some people swear that bbts is cheaper with pile of loot. I don't feel that is so as usd is just way to high.

Pc is cheap for their first runs. After that, you need to weigh up. As hot rod was more expensive at pc than buying from ny. But you get a coin which I don't really care for it.

Ah, so that explains it! Given NY's propensity to increase their prices on figures steadily, I thought they were doing the same with shipping.

Each store has their pros and cons.
Ny gives you the opportunity to pay off when jpy is weak before item is release while hlj you pay when item is in stock so you are at the mercy at what the exchange rate is at for that moment.

[DaptoDog]

This is not the NY feedback thread but you can see I've left plenty of good feedback about them there. I've found in the past that even though the shipping is higher at NY, the total cost has been lower than HLJ whenever I've compared them on pre orders. NY is usually not the place to go for back catalog releases, although I did pick up MP-10 a few months ago for only 12,000¥ before shipping.

That's very generous of you. I'll hold you to that. :)
