Online sightings (Australian companies)

Do you know any shipping forwarding services in Japan? My Generations G1 collection is getting close to completion and don't want to miss out on the seekers. Having more options is always good.

The one I used was White Rabbit Express, but it was over a year ago, so hopefully it is still operating. I used them to buy a toy from TTM that was listed there for AU$55, and when I bought two of them, all of the other costs (postage & fees) added about AU$30 to each toy... a lot, but then, postage from ebay sellers can be just as bad and I didn't have to pay a mark-up on the actual toy, which would have been at least AU$100 on ebay anyway, making this a cheaper option for me at the time.

I was excited about the possibility of Takara releases but from what I gather TTmall is its own kind of headache.

Most Transformers items that are TTM exclusives in Japan get released through Hasbro Asia as well, so look for online stores in HK, SG and TW, or ebay from those locations when it is released.

Thanks for the info.
So Oh My Primus might get the seekers later you think?

They seem to be a bit more hit-and-miss than Robotkingdom, but RK appear to sell out really fast, so you have to be quick if you try them instead.

Amazon AU has the Earthrise Quintesson Judge in stock. $43.50. Should be three left now...

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

Arcee was available on Amazon (fulfilled by Amazon US) today for ~$28 AUD. Thinking it might go back on, or maybe the other Earthrise deluxes will be up soon.

Snapdragon is available at Uncle Pete's: https://www.unclepetestoys.com.au/tr...on-snapdragon/

The Earthrise Seeker Thundercracker & Skywarp 2-pack went down to $160, sold by Amazon US and 'in-stock September 16'. https://www.amazon.com.au/Transforme...dp/B088635LP3/

Probably the best way to buy them at the moment. On eBay they'll charge 10% GST, import fees and since it's from a US seller you'll have to pay exchange rate fees as well converting to USD.
