Is better if for those who know each other just gang up and order and get free shipping above 3 units. < you seriously wont go wrong there, I think its even the cheapest on the web.
Awesome new pictures, have certainly put to rest some of my queries (being too skinny).
And would it kill Takara Tomy's bottom line to colour in some eyes for the human figures.......
That is a very good price. But I'm not comfortable paying up front for something that's more than 6 months away from release. Not much to fall back on if something goes amiss given the delay in receiving it from paying.Quote:

For what it's worth I just gave Nippon-Yasan a call. They said the shipping cost is higher because it's a larger box than the other car bots. I said there is no way it's going to cost double ship. I recently pre-ordered the Unite Warriors Superion which was still slightly cheaper to ship than Tracks! I told them I've had to pre order from HLJ instead.
good feedback > regarding NY shippingQuote:

My normal shipping cost for any mp car from them was as low as 700 yen-1200 yen for ems. I cannot see how a plastic stand bring the cost up by 1,500 yen increase at least.
Yes/No about HLJ or NY pay later policy. NY is better as you choose to pay when the rates are good.
The down side of hlj is you are stuck if the rates are crap by that time.
All calculated risk, its my first time ordering from premium collect.
I cannot says its guaranteed, but Tracks isn't a big deal breaker for me if they stuff up. I am taking the gamble to see how it pens out.
NY has became a bit more greedy imo, sometimes I think they should just abolish all the discount crap and offer good prices like they used to is better.

They also list the box size: W440×H290×D110mm compared to the other MP cars which are W210×H147×D70mm; that's considerably bigger.. the stand must be pretty big!

Gee wiz, that's going to be a huge box. Why is Takara going the way of Hasbro and oversizing the box for this car (ala Hasbro MP Prowl)? Surely the stand is not that big????
So maybe Nippon-Yasan isn't grossly overcharging here? Makes me a little concerned about my HLJ pre-order since they charge 6,000 Yen each compared to 5,380 Yen each at NY. If the shipping is the same at HLJ then it would be better off to order from NY for those that wish to import.
HLJ = Never a problem
NY = been screwed around more than once.
So I'm willing to pay a little more.
Also, I'm not a fan of the stand. But it keeps up the tradition of getting a stand with every TF that has a flight capable alt mode.
that is one nice looking transformer
