MP-18B - BLUESTREAK for August in Japan

[drifand]

I actually don't dig the gold, I prefer if it was yellow to be honest.

This was not one of the names on the MP listing for Australia.... but could end up being one of the unnamed cars for Nov-Dec.

I could have sworn you said it was coming here, so i checked your Toyfair post...

Masterpiece Bluestreak will be out here in about July.

I had relatives over tonight, went to preorder after they left and ... boat sailed FFN'nnn!
Not exactly keen for BBTS with the current exchange, so now i'm hoping your Toyfair info was correct or more from asian sellers.

That masterpiece news was split into two listings with two different headings just for this reason, to prevent people from mistaking the Hasbro MPs from the TakaraTomy MPs.

$79.99 BBTS.
Yep, i'll take one

If this doesn't get released by Hasbro HK as well, that will be a very good price. With the different exchange rates of AU, US & Yen, the BBTS price in AU$ isn't much more than the TakaraTomyMall price in AU$.
And the great thing about the BBTS pre-order is that if does get released by Hasbro HK and is easily available in August, I'll just cancel the pre-order and not lose any money.
A bit like a hotel reservation... you grab one early and cancel it later if something better shows up and not pay a thing.

Ok, well now i'll just hope Hasbro's MP Bluestreak has the exact same deco!

if the images we saw at the Nuremburg toy fair are anything to go by, it'll just be his standard colours

[kurdt_the_goat]

Ah that's right, it was just the black/silver deco wasn't it.

Anyway, Griff's advice on BBTS is spot on so i just preordered there for now.

That suggests that Hasbro HK is doing some as well... as that's too cheap for a JP import. Maybe best to preorder at a couple places and cancel later if needed... and if you get stuck with 2 it will make money reselling the extra one.

Can I cancel my pre-order at RK and not pay anything?
