Yeah, I don't think you're going to see much of a price variance, especially with it being an online only thing, and so far U.S. only (at least in terms of official availability). So if you're getting it, you might as well go with a Canadian retailer, as you'll avoid customs.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Ugh. That's pretty brutal. Is anyone local going for a group buy?

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Anyone else noticed HLJ changed their saving claim? It used to be "Save xx%" but now it's "Save ¥ xx00". I guess it's not as noticeable compared to the big 25% off claim on amiami even though amiami has a higher list price before discount.

Also NY's shipping charge is getting quite crazy these days.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Takara is looking pretty good right now, lol. Oh well, I'm already in for Hasbro versions.

Msol, I'd go in on a group buy fron Automaton but can't place the initial order if going that route. BBTS has a limit of 1 each per person. I'm a little paranoid about Automaton being unable to fulfil all their orders though.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

I am glad I ordered the Takara sets for these ones...though I do have to wait longer to get them (like August/September...booo lol).

You guys can also keep an eye on Toy Trove - they said they will have preorders up but weren't allowed to until much closer to release. I checked their site and nothing yet but they might be up soon. And apparently they're still one of the few online retailers with Canadian $ prices.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Well an order of 3 to my place comes out to $71 USD through them. Divide that by ~.79 for exchange and that's $29.95 Canadian each using the cheapest shipping option (taxes included, too).

So yeah if more people are keen let's get this sucker done.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Cool, I like that. I can pick it up from you once it's arrived. kirbenvost, you in? Anyone else?

I'm not really in unless there's 3 or more of us.
