how do you get henki toys?

[Tommy K]

im wanting to get my hands on a henki hound and cyclonus and when the time comes a dinobot aswell, but the problem is i dont know how to get my hands on them, is there someone i should consult or is there a store in nsw that i can go to, or some magical formula that makes it appear in front me? lol

I get them from HLJ but it isn't cheap. A single deluxe figure with the cheapest shipping option can cost you $50 give the low AU dollar. If you do a reasonable sizable order of 3-4 items it can cost you $40 per deluxe.

Hard to believe that just a few months ago when the AU dollar was hight it was actually cheaper to buy Henkei than local!

[Paulbot]

I think most people would buy them online. The speciality comic/collectable stores that might import them would charge a high price for them.

If you can't or don't feel comfortable ordering online you might see if some of the other Sydney fans could help you out.

kuzzy: fyi it's "Henkei" (say "Hen-Kay") not "Henki." :)

I got my first from RK through an order iceburn did.
Got/getting some others though Tetsuwan Convoy bulk orders (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=1492)

If your after them, group up. It is the best way to save a few dollars and get some shiny new toys (haha...get it..."shiny"? Coz they have chrome...ha...ha...noo? not funny...aww..*sigh*)

in all seriousness, ill be doing a RK order in the next month or two for a decent amount of henkei deluxe's, if your interested, you can order through me if you dont want to do your own order, and then i can ship them to you. its just a suggestion..

I have seen them at impact comics in ACT they are around 40 bucks each :)

Modeller's World in Sydney's Chinatown sells some too, as I already noted on the NSW sightings thread. :)

kuzzy my apprentice

simply ask someone here if they are doing an order and ask if you can tag along for the ride then pay them for their troubles and pick the toy up at the next meetup

I can't help you with Hound, though I possibly could with Ratchet If your after him.

Have these guys moved? They're not longer in that little arcade near Market City.

[autobreadticon]

RK - best to order when the P/P conversion rate is above 65c and to order 5-6 Henkei figures at a time , it roughly works out to be always between $36-40 AUD per figure (inc. shipping), but i reckon you should never pay for a henkei deluxe above $40 or a Henkei voyager above $60, unless its an exclusive

They moved upstairs.

[Autocon]

im thinking of getting other henkeis now that i have cheetor

only if they did not use the same mold over and over again..

[GoktimusPrime]

There are no repaints in Henkei. There are some limited exclusive repaints sold under the "Gentei" subline (e.g.: Wildrider, Thundercracker, Skywarp). Smokescreen will be a repaint of Bluestreak though - but that's reasonably understandable.

smokescreen bluestreak prowl
Bluestreak and Prowl aren't repaints. They're retools. And I did mention Smokescreen in my last post.


lambos redalert
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are even greater retools than Bluestreak and Prowl. Red Alert isn't out yet.

Those aren't Henkeis. (Source (http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/henkei/lineup.html))
