    This is what i normally use for purchases in foreign currency. It's a meant to be a travel card so one benefit is no international transaction fees and it also uses mastercard exchange rate.

    Link the card to your Paypal account and then at paypal checkout choose to pay in foreign currency instead of using Paypal's rip off rates. It will then use the card's exchange rate.

    I know everyone buys lots and so it can add up quickly, but seriously just don't buy a coffee or something one day and forget about all the exchange rate and who to preorder with crap!

    Half of the threads on here are turning into "where are you getting it from/what are you paying/oh that's good/oh that's bad/i'm getting it from here/i'm getting it from there!"

    That's funny, I'm also getting it from there. :P

    I don't really like the new pics, but it's just the angle: his head looks weird to me with the "helmet" part so far back.

    Actually, I have thought about it (my mother has one from her trip OS last year) But I'm not sure my wallet can handle a 3rd credit card I've been thinking about looking at it when one of my other cards comes up for renewal. The no foreign currency fee is very appealing!

    The only thing I don't like is those lines coming from his eyes much like CW Dragstrip

    There's also no annual fee.

    I have tried to put orders in for mp25 but when i head into my account I have 0 orders.

    update: the website just takes about 10minutes or so to update, my order came through

    yea, I know what you mean, at the wrong angle it looks like tears or almost a bit cyberman. At the right angle, or a closer look I don't mind it.

    Amazon Japan is currently listing it at full RRP (which seems pretty high! ); but as usual, I'd expect the price to drop once their pre-order discount kicks in. Still... at such a high RRP, the pre-order price would probably equate to standard RRP for most previous MP Cars

    Is a bigger box just for a stand. This is where I wished they sold one without.
