I would get him as I'm after all the Headmaster Jr's, but I'd rather spend the $100 or more he'll cost on the original.

Not quite that expensive. It's 5000JPY ($53) for one, or 9400JPY ($99) if you order two (making it $49.50 per figure). Of course, you have to purchase the Generations book to get the order form, and on top of that pay for international postage. Still too rich for my liking, so it's a pass from me. I'd rather spend the money on my next MP Autobot car.

Please post links to sources that we can get this figure at this price, or under the AU$100 that Deltaprime was commenting on.

Agree, I want this toy but don't want the crappy book.

The second volume of the 2014 Generations book came with a poster like the first volume, and it is character art of Movie characters.

The odd thing is that it is a Hasbro poster (no Japanese and no TakaraTomy on it) in a Japanese book. I understand the usage of some English on packaging and books, but it seems lazy that they used a Hasbro poster without changing the language or even the name of the movie on it, from "Age of Extinction" to "Lost Age" (the Japanese name).

If you know where to pick up Headmaster Jr's for nearly one hundred dollars, you got to hook me up with your source. I'd kill for them that cheap

I read that as being, putting that money towards buying an original, not, buying an original for that price... which as we know, costs hundreds loose, and very well a grand sealed.

But if he finds a source for them at about $100, I wouldn't say no to being hook up either.

The only book-exclusive mail order toy that I've gotten was United Artfire, which cost me $66 (for toy + postage), or $98 if you include the cost of the book. I wanted United Artfire because, as we all know, back in 2004 Takara reissued Stepper. But they never reissued Artfire, making him the only G1 Targetmaster missing from my collection. Ordinarily I wouldn't care about Japanese G1 characters, as it's not the G1 of my childhood, but it kinda bugged me that I had Stepper but not Artfire. So when news of United Artfire came out, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the TF Generations 2012 book and order Artfire. Even though it meant paying $66 for a Voyager (or $98 including the book), I figured that it'd be cheaper than purchasing an original G1 Artfire off the secondary market. So yeah, while getting this Go-Shooter toy is never going to be cheap for anyone, it would arguably be a cheaper alternative to getting the original G1 toy off the secondary market.

Wow... I'm surprised to see that Artfire has appreciated (arguably depreciated if its initial after-market price was higher than this or vs. the aggregate cost of purchasing the book + toy) so poorly. If this is the case, perhaps it might be worth waiting to see if Go Shooter will similarly depreciate. <shrugs> Then again, Go Shooter isn't nearly as obscure as Artfire, so there may be greater demand for it. <shrugs.again>
