    Amazon didn't jack up the price for the pile drivers.

    That 8000 yen price is from one of the 'marketplace' sellers. It often happens on amazon japan I have noticed, a preorder goes up and is soon sold out. Then on release date, you suddenly find that another place selling through amazon happens to have a lot of stock on hand of an 'amazon exclusive' but the price is almost double (or more) than the original.

    I suspect the exact same thing has happend to amazon excl. Soundwave as well as a pre-order can't be placed on that.

    It happend to US Excl. Unicron and is probably what happend to the G2 Combaticons as well.

    I think the HK version may have come with the silver jackhammers, because I got mine from a HK source and it had the HK exclusive Coin (that comes with HK Hasbro's stock of JP toys) AND the silver jackhammers for $80. If you bought from Japan, you'd pay about the same amount for the toy with just the silver jackhammers.

    strap yourself in...

    There was a 3D printer sale. ~$1000 off retail price brand new.
    followed all their stupid rules. Got onto the system, secured a unit (i know that i secured a unit because my code was still valid) and then everything went screwy and when i was forced to log out and back in again the option to buy was gone.

    that was 4 hours ago and im still the angriest ive been in a very long time

    not happy jan
