One is not really loosing out when one knows what they're getting into in their choice of business to preorder with; For many, I dare say most, the importance is predominately focused upon simply having an order in the 1st place.

For me, as I've said many times before, I will reward great customer service with continued patronage and Hobby Link Japan has well and truly earnt that, even in the face of marginally higher prices resulting from the non-requirement of a payment upfront & fluctuating exchange rates.

In short - We all win by ordering from Japanese Online Retailers wherever & whenever a TakaraTomy Masterpiece Transformer is concerned.
