MP-37 Artfire with Targetmaster Nightstick

[DaptoDog]

Thanks raider, I was only picking artfire to remain solely misb so I might have use the express shipping option

That $35 option really kills the benefit of using PC from a pure price perspective. Better off ordering from Japan in that case. In my experience if PC is equal to or worse than Japan pricing you are best ordering from Japan if wanting to keep it MISB since it will be packed well from Japan. PC has no control over the condition they receive their orders. And of course you will get it a lot quicker for all shipping options except by boat. Given where the Yen is I'm switching back my pre orders to Japan for all general release MP's. Staying with PC for the exclusives given how much cheaper they are than the Asia + TakaraTomyMall sources.

Just my 2 cents.

Except you may miss out on extra accessories if PC is by Asia

I have actually just started looking at hlj recently. I'm just starting to find pc shipping weeks/months after release dates is starting to wear a bit thin. While I'm all for cheap prices i would prefer some things i.e the masterpiece line in my hands a bit quicker and a guarentee of quality boxes. Like you've already mentioned I'll stick with pc for the exclusives as I'll be guaranteed 2 or whatever it is.

Thanks for you input

So if Artfire is a regular release, who is our best bet for next year's Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive? (High probability of a redeco Ironhide?)

They may even bring out the Lambo mold one more time & bring out Deepcover. Or was it Clampdown? Eh, the black one.

I'd like to see Breakdown as well before the mold is retired (both G1 and G2)

Maybe Hauler, or a black Megatron? It could also depend on what new moulds get announced early next year.

If Artfire drops in price the way Road Rage did then I may pick him up. Otherwise considering all the other TF lines coming out it's just too expensive to grab every MP variant.
