:haha: cant wait until August.

by the way, does this also comes with the collector's coin because a few reviews on youtube shows some previous molds does not come with coin unless you pay a litle bit extra?

Typically, you get a coin when your seller gets his stock from Hasbro Asia.

It's the direct Japan imports that don't come with coin.

That's why if you notice, the coins all say Hasbro on them.

I suspect this is Hasbro Asia's way of encouraging us to get from them, instead of unofficial Japan imports. They want more control over the market.

I see, thank you for the insights. So, i guess the collector's coin is one of the incentives huh?

I'm also a bit confused on how GST will affect foreign shipments.

Is it possible that it could be cheaper to ship TF from overseas (Singapore specifically) versus buying locally and paying GST?

I think there will be taxes if your foreign shipment is more than some amount, like how Australia's system works.

So you need to pay the tax, then, only you can get your shipment.

Definitely not buying Badcude Wardog now. It is just not worth it after another 6% on it.

Thanks! Yeah I'm stepping away from Wardog too... RM400+ for that is a little hard to justify.

RM400+ for Apollyon, however, no problem brows.gif

I am thinking of Astrotrain from DX Toys. Not sure how good is that brand. If not, might get leader class Generation Thundercracker.

Yeah I preordered DX9 not-Astrotrain.

He looks flawed, but good enough to buy.

Plus I don't imagine we'll be seeing an official MP Astrotrain anytime soon.

And the RM440-ish pricetag is worth it for a triple changer with that level of size and detail.

The one thing stopping me from getting him is the random part that goes nowhere in other modes (and also the fat shuttle mode)...Has recent reviews shown where the part goes?

I found it pretty strange because one of the early ads from UT DX9 stated that their transformer will transform without removing any parts

Yeah that rogue panel was weird indeed.

AFAIK there have been no new reviews, all the reviews from 1+ months ago were test shots that came with no instructions.

I'm hoping there is an obvious answer to it that the reviewers just missed out on. Or that they've modified it in between test shot and production phase (unlikely, I know).
