Yes, you're probably right. I was confusing the name with ID. A1 might well think twice about doing it again. They caught a cold with those platinum sets they discounted to nothing too.

I suppose it depends on the terms of the deal. I think the hope was that this year theyd have acess to hasbros entire sdcc line up, so maybe it was worth over stocking max last year to get the full line up this year.
or they simply took a punt on numbers last year and will be able to adjust this.

I thought he was called 'Typricon' for years.

That's the Takara version costing ¥25,000 which we calculated upthread was £180 before postage (£??) and customs (£36 + charge). Looks VERY reasonable given that |

Dinosaurer has gone up at Japanese sites over the weekend. Here's the HLJ pre order hlj.com/product/TKT88799/ActThey want ¥20,000 for it which is £143.00 at the moment. That's £30 customs to start with. Postage, plus customs on the postage, plus clearance fee will still take it over the £200 Kapow & IDToys want |

That's not much more than what the hasbro release will cost.

I don't think it will be. Fort Max was about £120 over here, and Takara Max was... more, once import costs were considered. I'm sure he ended up being over the £200 mark. So I'd assume similar here.

Well that's going straight in the top five most fucking amazing things I've ever seen.
LOOK. AT. THAT.
In your box, Max. Metroplex is coming back out.

Yeah but Max can fight him too.
But yes, that looks very exciting.

No, no he can't. I'm wearing my '86 glasses here and the future looks Metroplex bright. Max is but a whisper on the winds of tomorrow.

If I'd have had a drink in my mouth, it would be coming out of my nose at this moment! AND OH MY GOD THAT PICTURE IS AMAZING!!!! TYRPTICON IS SO ENORMOUS!!!! I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO BE SMALLER... DUE TO THE EXTRA BULK... BUT OH MY GOD!!!! I am going to buy this now. Very impressive. |
