>>5290534Thanks.
I always procrastinate preorders. I wish I were on a marketplace newsletter or something that would tell me what to preorder and what to wait on. I get tired of trying to predict this stuff.
>emsSAL is cheaper, and in Canada anything else gets taxed anyway.
>mandarakeWell, no matter what, I can't preorder unless HLJ puts it back up before release. I guess that's my best bet.
Well look at the Cloud Decepticons. I wonder how popular IDW is over there. Maybe prices for original Drift would be a good indicator. I got a feeling it's actually ridiculous, like 10,000 yen. Yup. I guess we'll see how evil version of beloved good character turns out. Most of those kinds of exclusives don't have fiction to back it up, so maybe it's different than every other Destron Black Convoy. ... actually I don't remember how well those sell. I remember Micron Legend one is expensive. Nucleon Quest Ginrai pretty cheap.
... Holy fuck, I missed out on a $60 Tako Tank.
>>5290504Well, it is a thin area to put that in between the wall of the torso and the combiner peg, plus when it swings down it has to clear the folded-in combiner peg's tip. I'm not sure that's a good enough excuse, but it's a possible reason. This also probably uses less plastic, though you'd think it wouldn't be significant enough to matter, who knows.
>>5290500but an avatar is a character that's a stand-in for yourself. Kind of hard to judge how much a person personally identifies with the character they're presenting. especially with how easily people get wrapped up in their own beliefs, because people are stupid.
It sure strikes me as shitting up the place.
