Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

What happened to all the Go! Jinbu's? All I see are Kenzan and the red fella' on every site.

If you are talking about the yellow one, they were recalled for being constructed wrongly at the factory. They will probably be re-released, but the 3-pack might end up getting out before that happens.

If you manage to find a yellow one that wasn't returned to TakaraTomy by a dealer, they can be fixed yourself... and the toy isn't completely useless either if it isn't fixed, as it can still transform. It is mostly the combined mode that is affected.

I was actually thinking that some disgruntled combiner-fans (like me) with a lot of money to spare (unlike me) might have bought multiples of Jinbu purely for the purposes of explod-ing them.

I don't mind as long as I can get one. $50 isn't too bad a price, on TFSource and BBTS they had it for $90 and both have already sold out

RK now has the CybertronCon version of Shockwave's Lab (#6 of 30) available for preorder
http://www.robotkingdom.com/services...lang=us&CatID=
It is USD $83 before shipping, but it might be something worth keeping in the back of your mind

And it looks like BBTS have SDCC back on preorder after cancellations. 2 available

I'd happily pay that price if I had...

it looks like you might be able to use paypal, that is cool. you still need an american address to ship stuff to.

BAH! I got an american friends address, jumped through all the hoops but because my paypal is an aussie address (the paypal is the au one) they turned me down at the final gate! Grrrrrr! They even had BH Deluxe Smokescreen and Dreadwing that I wanted!

WHY WONT THE AMERICANS TAKE OUR MONEY!?!?! DIDN"T WE SUPPORT THEM IN A BUNCH OF USELESS WARS A WHILE BACK? AND THIS IS HOW THEY REPAY US!?!?!

Yeah, I want him, but not for that price. Cheers for the heads up though

can you put an alternative address on your paypal account?
If so just remember to change it back after the transaction.

Tried but the states still come up as VIC, NSW etc. Looks like you cant put in a non-australian address

Is there an objection to you transferring the $$$ to your friend via paypal and them paying for it, then forwarding?

It is a possibility, and she would probably be amenible. But I haven't seen her in nearly 10 years and she is being kind enough to let me use her address, as well as searching for MP SW for me in the shops. I think getting her to do transactions as well would be me taking liberties with her good nature and pushing the favor cart a bit far.

Fair enough. I'll keep an eye out at some of the smaller independants for you for dreadwing and at target for smokescreen

I got a spare micromaster Flak in a lot of bots and he is a different green to my other Flak. This new one is a much cleaner green where as the other one is more olive drab. Anyone got any info on this?
