After seeing actual fulfilment of Amazon JP via AU, I went to the Amazon.co.jp site to see if we can again buy from the JP site. I was able to go through checkout using my Perth address but chose not to add any payment method. So it looks like we can buy directly from Amazon JP again. Has anyone actually received anything recently from Amazon JP?

Yes, I've brought the DX figures of the new robot from from the most recent Super Sentai series and some art books over two transactions. There were some issues with payment being declined but after canceling the second order and reordering with a newly and extremely exactly(no abbreviated street type and Middle Initial on the card) entered address and card details it worked fine.

Yeah you can order from amazon jp now. Made some purchases last month and they all arrived pretty quickly.

Considering that they alternate so often, I'd probably only buy instock items, as they may stop shipping again before a preorder is released.

I just ordered the JP exclusive Optimus Primal from there, and am going to save a bundle over buying it from BBTS. The listing though showed it with a red recolour to the weaponizer Cheetor. I don’t know if it’s an amazon.jp exclusive, or will come packed in with all of them.

The listing is https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Transformers-Beast-Awakens-Optimus-Manufacturer/dp/B0C73KFKLS/ref=sr_1_9?crid=3P4Y8YN7HH50U&keywords=Transformer s&qid=1687508964&sprefix=transform%2Caps%2C299&sr= 8-9 for anyone interested.

Oh, just noticed this too in product description “ Set Contents: Optimus Primal unit (1), Cyber blade A (1), Cyber blade B (1), Missiles (2), Instruction manual (1), Bonus item (1).”

It must be the bonus item.

The red cheetor is a bonus item that is going out free with three different items in Japan next month (the big expensive toys - Ultimate Optimus Primal, Beast Mode Optimus, Beast Mode Bumblebee), but I don't recall it being exclusive to anywhere (they might all be shipped from TakaraTomy to each of the stores with the bonus toy).

I take it that you were able to pre-order it without any problems to have it shipped to Australia?
I guess if there are, you won't find out until it is released on July 15th.

Even though Hasbro is releasing that toy in America as a JP import item (like the MPs), and probably will be here too, I am tempted to try ordering from Amazon JP myself, just to make sure that I get the bonus cheetor... as those sorts of limited edition freebie things are really difficult and/or expensive to find later.

I decided to place an order for it, just to see how it goes, and it is the easiest way to get the bonus Cheetor.
The estimated cost at the current exchange rate was about AU$115 with shipping.
I couldn't remember if they were the one that refuses to ship to PO Boxes, so I took the safe option of selecting the home address, and hoping that it doesn't get left out the front and get stolen.

I did notice though, the listing gives you two options - one with the Cheetor and one without the Cheetor, with a price difference of about au$15.
It is noted as a "bonus" item, but they are charging extra for it. I'm not sure about that, and I thought that they were all being released with the Cbeetor toy, not just some of them.

does it give you the option of sending it to an amazon parcel locker? those are really convenient when you aren't able to collect from home.
