I'm just going to display him with the jetpack and battle mask (toy) face. Close enough for the display!Quote:

Amazon Japan has been updated with new images, all shiny and gold.
Release date is July 25th.
Looking good!!! Reminds me of those kiddy rides
Same... But then again, Goldbug's Robot mode is quite different to bumblebee'sQuote:

What about GDO?Quote:

The reds don't quite match, but near enough until (unless) they do a proper one. :oQuote:

Have been tempted by movie Seaspray, but I'd like to see a legends class one...
I'm still looking for a decent Beachcomber and Brawn though...
Back on topic, have pre-ordered G2 Bee, will probably cover up his G2 symbol with a reprolable...
Does anyone where to get the cheapest pre order (including shipping) for this guy? I bet my supplier from taiwan will charge 90aud for this with coin unless AUD value will increase by July
Well that's the thing, with or without the coin? Without coin can go as low as under $60. < note I may be very wrong, no thanks to the dropping aussie dollar.Quote:

That's a very good price! :eek:
While you're absolutely right about Amazon JP not shipping to AU, I've used Amazon Japan to buy all of my MP cars and it's never cost me "more" (i.e. I've always paid below full retail price). :confused: Also, be aware that Amazon JP's MPs do NOT come with the coin. No Japanese MP comes with the coin -- that's a Hasbro Asia exclusive thing.Quote:

And when you actually think about it, if you take into account that a business has to make money, any Japanese-sourced products (not from a HK source) sold by an Australian dealer, has to pass through the hands of two or three businesses first who each have to have a markup/profit, plus add on GST at the end - most of which you don't have to pay by only dealing with one Business (Amazon Japan), so of course you pay less than pretty much everyone else here... so just be careful when noting or boasting about how you are the one lucky Australian who can pay less than Retail on Amazon Japan toys because you have someone in Japan buying for you.
