preorders who's the best?

Doesn't bother me, though I wish I had simliar contacts for amazon japan.

End of the day as long I can obtain one at pre order is good enough.
If anyone had waited till now to buy wheel jack they are paying premium price at this stage.

IMO it's all good as long as you're not paying above retail price. I did end up paying premium price (which was actually the same as AU RRP ) for MP Alert though, because I didn't pre-order that toy. All my other Japanese MPs have been pre-ordered though (since MP1).

Hi, I'm new here. Does the forum ever do group preorders? Would you get much of a shipping discount considering someone has to take delivery and then distribute? I ordered MP Wheeljack for AUD $83 shipped because he looked too good in the reviews on this forum. Just did some research and shops don't seem to be taking preorders for Bumblebee anymore. How switched on do you need to be?

Some members do, depending on the item, Fatbot and Griffin often do pre-orders for TFCC items.

There are sometimes group orders for things like masterpieces, but it's usually restricted to local area/state to make it worth everyones while. A lot of the smaller Asian web stores have pretty good value shipping charges which makes it harder to significantly reduce the cost of shipping with a group order.

You just have to keep your eyes peeled for group order posts around the time that pre-orders are going to go up.

Understood. Thanks UltraMarginal.
