July Acquisitions.

Congrats :)

Awesome work there Mixmaster! You should blog or make a thread (which should be stickied) explaining how you went about doing that in greater detail so that other SA fans can follow your example. As you said, you've now established a precedent. :)

Thanks everyone. In hindsight, yes I regret not keeping a better record of it all since it did have a successfull outcome. It just seemed like a losing battle at the time. I have copies of all the letters and replies with dates so it shouldn't be too hard to piece it all together for people to read.

Nice job Mixmaster! Honestly i can't believe the discrepancy between what import stores and individuals can do. All the hoops people have to jump through to get one of these when I just walked into Shin Tokyo and bought one off the shelf...crazy. If the toy was genuinely dangerous then why are stores allowed to stock it??

:)Nice pics Kelvin of your custom collection and well done on the MP-05 Mixmaster. Today as I was wondering around I remembered some people on the board showing pics of T-shirts from Jay Jays so I stuck my head in and picked up 2 TF shirts for $25 total:D. Almost forgot that i added onto my lay-by at Toyworld the 2 Animated Leaders Megatron and Bulkhead, I had these put to the side and was still up in the air about buying them but after some discussions on price matching I managed to get them for $80 each, not a good price but at least it was a reduction of $10 each figure so I wont complain:D.

$80 is a pretty good local price already. They're both awesome figs. :)

Agreed! I saw HEAPS at Shin Tokyo less than a year ago! How can it be legal to sell it, but illegal to own it? :rolleyes:

:DI think it was Iceburn that said he got his for $75 each but it wasn't at a main retail store, I spoke to the owner who i know and mentioned the $75 price tag but admitted the price I got was from someone over East:o. He said he couldn't match that but could sell them to me for $80 each;). It must be my winning smile:D.
