I'm only getting Prowl and I prefer show-likeness with my MP toys (that's also the reason why I bought Takara MP Soundwave instead of the soon-to-be-released Hasbro version), so these exclusive missile launchers hold no interest for me whatsoever.

I was initially gonna pre order on Amazon, then found out that HLJ's preorder price was cheaper (and at the time Amazon wasn't offering any exclusive stuff), so then I cancelled my Amazon order and went w/ HLJ. Ceebs to cancel HLJ and go back to Amazon!The beefier launchers look nice and all... but yeah, I can live w/o them.

Guess I am late to the game. Was gonna order them from AmiAmi but they sold out. Really cheap there too. It's a provisional preorder, so hopefully more will go up soon.
Might order from HLJ, but why do they not have pictures yet?

general laziness? honestly i have never found them to sell transformers well. amiami gets more sales because they're cheaper.

Decided to order from HLJ mainly because they were fairly cheap, about AU$47 each i think.
Never ordered from them before. So when they come in do i get an invoice to pay for them with paypal?

i usually preorder the MP from the HK store because they give you the coins and also include the amazon extra as well ... like the two extra cube with soundwave and the silver pile-drivers for sideswipe
I found HLJ shipping abit of a riot , unless you buy alot of items and combine shipping .

Japan Post has always been cheaper for larger items than smaller ones. That's why I often buy stuff from Japan, but have it sit around for a few months and then get the whole thing sent off to me in a single hit - makes postage a lot cheaper per item than if I had them sent off to me individually. Just last weekend I had a package sent to me with both MP Cassette sets and 3 Arms Micron toys. It means more waiting (which is frustrating), but it saves me money.Japan Post was privatised during the Koizumi administration, which has increased costs, but also made their service more efficient too (as well as reducing govt spending/debt).
But yeah... the trick to saving money with getting stuff from Japan is to get stuff sent in bulk.

Just a warning when pre-ordering from HLJ that there's a good chance you'll still miss out as they've recently screwed me on BOTH MP-15 and MP-16.
The worst part is they don't bother to tell you that they're unable to fill your order. The only way you know is when you don't receive the parcel, by which time everyone else has sold out or jacked up their prices to meet the demand.
When I emailed them to see what was going on, they basically said "If you don't like it, cancel your order and buy it elsewhere."
