PC hasn't ruined my faith in other pay up front retailers. I like the idea of being able to pay a laybuy scheme because I don't have a disposable income as much as others

I just save up in dedicated savings account to get my stuff from HLJ. I don't have a ton of cash either but it works and gives me a chance to cancel if I change my mind.Quote:

Sadly, there is a line to cross when it comes to collecting and value for money. Sometimes as collectors we willingly cross that line for some rare or must have toy. However new mass produced toys even MPs shouldn't cost this much as that means we would be crossing that line every time there is a new release and it is asking too much.
Now that it is listed on the TakaraTomy product page for MP Dinobot as 28,000yen, I have to concede that I was way off. I still don't see where the cost is coming from with this one though... but with TT apparently doing poorly at the moment, they are probably looking to get as much money as they can from their premium products.Quote:

But alas, it's just one bloody expensive figure.
My outward expenditure on Transformers figures is essentially $0 outside of BW MPs, so it's easier for me to be a little blase about the price and happily pay it. But for others who have to limit their TF spending, I can understand the hesitation in ordering.
However, my new theory: TT will surprise everyone by including the secretly developed MP Rattrap in the box with MP Dinobot! :p
Just be on top of your orders as trust is a very shaky thing after pc.Quote:

Speaking of which ny is $271 shipped.
NY heard your call.Quote:

At ¥18,980 it's the cheapest price so far I believe. With registered Airmail it comes to $257 shipped but combining with other orders would obviously bring this down.
I have trust in TBI. Everything I've ordered has been delivered. Something I ordered last week will arrive tomorrow with luck. One other thing ordered is due Feb. I'm well on top of my orders so far :)Quote:

Everything people ordered from PC was delivered up also, until a certain point where they went from legitimate business to fraudsters.Quote:

That is true, but I won't base everyone of them off my experience with PC. The owner has been in the fandom quite a while. Yes people are more cautious now, don't blame them either. I'm just going off my experiencesQuote:
