I think I should point out that, while the site is called etoysjapan, I've found that the transformers are sourced from Hasbro HK and thus generally don't include jp only comics/character cards etc. This includes exclusives!![]()

Good to know. There website footer says:
"USA: 3964 Rivermark Plaza Suite 436, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Hong Kong: Logistic Division"
So it's seems "Japan" by name only. The other three JP vendors in the list all get stock from TT, not Hasbro HK.
I'm of the opinion that every business that sells TakaraTomy Transformers, physically outside of Japan, imports them from Asian Hasbro affiliates.
These are all good, reputable sellers I have used for many years. The only exception is Locus who I have only used once, but I have only heard good things about them so far. Other exception is Rakuten which is an online mall, no problems so far, but be aware that thousands of stores are represented.
