Amazon JP has the figure for about $55 but is charging $25 for shipping. $80 is a bit much....

I am guessing it will be the same if not more. HLJ is not cheap for shipping. All Japanese places have upped their shipping recently. But at least with Amazon, the price can still decrease. I anticipate a drop to 30% of the initial price. I am doing the preorder while waiting for the drop since as long as you have it on order, you get the cheapest price it was ever at. And if I find a better deal before it comes out, I can simply cancel the preorder no questions asked.

I know Americans are not used to pay for shipping. But when one want to collect imported goods, one must bite the shipping bullet.

Not sure what I hate more, paying for shipping or tax lol

Me, both.
As a Canadian, I pay high shipping cost for EVERYTHING. And ordering for HTS is ludicrous with their 30$ base shipping price for a pack of bubble gum. And finally lol @ random custom fees that charge taxes PLUS an extra 10$ for the minister's jacuzzi.

LOL, I love how we get a specific 10$ charge to pay the customs agent for their time calculating how much we owe the government.

I see that 10$ as some sort of "bannana republic" bribe.

Shipping from Amazon Japan is worth every penny, trust me.

There's a way to not have to pay for shipping.
Just fly to Japan and bring an empty luggage!
But then, customs will STILL shaft you upon your return even after you have paid the local Japanese sale taxes.
THERE IS NO ESCAPE!


Seriously, if one really want an imported thing, shipping should never be an issue.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian and Transformers fan Mike van der Markt, we have new sightings of some upcoming Bumblebee Movie toys, which were found at an Intertoys store in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. The products shown in the pictures from the Bumblebee Movie are Energon Igniters Nitro Series Optimus Prime, Power Plus Series Optimus Prime, Power Series Dropkick, Music FX DJ Bumblebee, and the Bumblebee Stinger Blaster.

In addition to the Bumblebee Movie toys, the recently released Transformers Cyberverse toy products were also available. These included Cyberverse Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Ultimate Class Megatron.

Have you found some new Transformers toys recently? Make sure to let all of us know in our Sightings forum and Sightings section!

I know that store It's an Intertoys location in the Netherlands.

off-topic: so Cyververse Warrior Class were called Commanders? Cool.

Hasbro really knows how to reuse products. Not only were the Robots in Disguise Bumblebe and Optimus masks reused for movie-verse masks within the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline but now they are being rereleased under the Bumblebee movie toyline. These are the same masks as before. We have images of these releases below, which were found on the Ottosimon website.

In other Transformers: Bumblebee movie news, Target has released their list of the top holiday toys, called Bullseye's Top Toys. The toy cannot be ordered yet but this means we can expect these toys soon and them to be heavily promoted at Target.



Here are the reissued masks:



Here was the previous release



Which was a redeco of this initial product

The mask re-use is mind-boggling levels of laziness/cheapness. They could have at least done some kind of sticker with live-action style details.

That's pretty good re-use, still, it's no Hulk Hands...

The Optimus mask get a free pass. It's close enough. But Bee? Come on, how the hell was this approved?

I expect Target to be the first one to get Bee movie stuff and promote it the most. Walmart has been lackluster, and Target has taken the TRU torch up in the US at least

So I did the preorder through Amazon as well. If the price drops, do they notify you? It's hard to keep track cuz the price they advertise isn't the price they ultimately charged me...I'm guessing they had to back out the Japanese tax?

yeah, its the apanese tax, which yuo dont get

And no, you arent notified, you just have to keep looking if you are curious

Fellow Seibertronian Blacklai got his hands on a lot of toys from the new Bumblebee movie toyline. There is a pictorial review full of images on their website for the Transformers: Bumblebee Energon Igniters Nitro Series and we have mirrored several of them below. These are the deluxe sized figures that come with the igniter/allspark engine. There are videos below which show how it works and it seems to work perfectly with the alt modes starting to roll smoothly as soon as the engine is pressed (no need to wind up). We get our best look yet at the toys' sculpting and their articulation. The head sculpts are rather impressive (especially Barricade's) but the articulation is very limited. There are no knees and not all have elbows. The robot modes do look good head on though and they all have a very sleek look to them with very little extraneous kibble. These toys are already hitting retail globally so they could hit US retail any day now. If you see these at retail, will you get them?

is cool.

He says it was found in The Entertainer.

PrimeVsPrime has now done a video review of Power Charge Bumblebee that he bought at The Entertainer.

That Barricade looks pretty good, almost like a decent Deluxe placeholder.

Wow, that's probably one of the most creative gimmicks I've seen in a while.
