    I preordered the Tak/Tom version but then picked up the local one. But then I didn't cancel my preorder as I was worried about the hip issues and thought I might sell the Hasbro version.

    Then I fixed the Hasbro version so went to cancel my Tak/Tom order and found that the toy had gone up $50AU dollars in price, but mine hadn't as this happened after my order. Knowing that I am spending a fortune but still getting him at a significant discount makes me loathe to give him up - since I got the Hasbro version at $50 off at the Big W sale means I will have saved $100 but spent $500 - don't know if Im an idiot or not .

    Sigh... I just hope the differences do prove to be somewhat significant.

    There was an image floating around showing the takara (supposedly) one with no markings, whatever the case if the stickers are simply reproduced as tampo's it's going to make him just as bland as the hasbro metroplex stickers as I've never seen metallic tampos before.

    I know the stock images takara put up of trypticon confirm stickers being used on the eyes since the hasbro one has the same ones (look at the head area on the ones tf_pr posted, those are stickers).

    Whatever the case, the deco is *just* about identical and he'll only be worth it for the box and legends comic (and perhaps better hips if one's so lucky)

    HLJ requested payment today and dropped it into my warehouse loot thing shortly after.

    Cheapest shipping option was around $80 AUD from memory (from JPN) Funny thing though, express shipping was about 5-10 dollars cheaper than economy so go figure Should have him in a week or so

    Yeah I found the same - that's pretty expensive for HLJ.

    I ordered mine the day he was listed before they upped the price by 5000yen a week or two later. Wonder if they are trying to recoup their losses since they were obligated to sell those first orders at the wrong price
