Overseas sightings: Japan

[Vector Prime]

mknell, are you willing to buy a few for us as well?
Interested in these if you are:
MP4 Optimus final realease 8380 yen ($94.12 AUD)
Henki/Unnited Megatron 2620 yen ($29.43) (is this the nerf gun?)
Any pics?

The bloke's on holidays for Christ sake!

I know if I was on holidays, the last thing I would want to do is fart ass around and buy stuff for other people (especially if they haven't discussed it with me or given me payment prior)

Apologies, mknell if my post offended you. I won't post here again
I just thought it doesn't hurt to ask. But maybe it does.

Of course it doesn't hurt to ask... if he's a friend and he knows you well enough, he may be willing to assist.

The problem is how you go about asking him... there's such a thing called Private Messaging - that way mknell can politely decline or accept if he so chooses to.

By posting publicly, it opens up a can of worms as he can either decline or accept - both of which pose issues:

1.Decline - he may be viewed as unhelpful.
2.Accept - he gets burdened with additional purchase requests.

Or maybe at the end of the day, it doesn't bother him either way... just my 0.02c

No Offence taken really, I just wanted some thoughts on some of the prices, but I was going to wait and see what I find in Osaka tomorrow (shopping day yay) but in any case this is the megatron



Mainly depends on the mrs pay going through as it was meant to last Friday, we have plenty of yen on us but don't want to fall short for food etc so unfortunately most likely nothing big, but maybe on the megatron if I find it elsewhere as it is nice and small and not in gun mode lol

I believe the MP-4 is actually MP-1L - the last Convoy that was just released.

Which Son's of Cybertron and you should grab the United Jazz and Wreck Gar to scalp to Americans.. and me..

[jaydisc]

Great prices! And yeah, as Zippo asks, which Sons of Cybertron? Henkei or Animated?

Are you staying with relatives while you're over there? A lot of those items can be had for a lot cheaper on Amazon Japan provided you have a shipping address!

@Mknell:
Those prices are very awesome- and they are because no postage needs to be paid. Most of those items have like 40% shaved off!!
Get what you want/strategize/prioritize what you want most. I reckon the big ticket items would be the best- save the most in shipping.

@Jazzcomp: I would only ask if he offered/suggested to purchase for people. IMO- don't ask... you come off as inconsiderate of others and only have your own interest mind. Case in point: A close friend went to HK and Japan around xmas/New Years time/Jan-I didn't even ask him to pick up toys/united stuff/targetmasters even though he offered to since he had luggage space- I didn't want to bother him since he's there for holiday/spend time with partner. Not to hunt down toys for me/lug them back.
