Did they enter those currency rates by hand or what? They really need to update their conversion system, or just ditch it altogether and work with USD only. I mean, they say it's $307.64 in Canadian funds, but our dollar is almost at par with the USD; it's actually a tiny bit stronger : US$249.99 = CAN$249.29).
I'm paying in South African Rand : R1484 (US$190.30), that's a sweet deal.
Nah, you can't do that. No matter what currency you pick, you checkout in US Dollars. Yes... I've tried. ;D

Yeah I ended up paying around $257cdn with the Paypal exchange rate. Still pretty high, with the current exchange rate and a pre-order discount I'm paying about $200cdn for Daioja from Amiami, but of course I still have to pay for shipping which will probably even things out ib the end.

longbill, can you ask your friend how much it would ship to the following countries:
- Tokyo, Japan
- Manila, Philippines
- Sydney, Australia
Best I can find is an eBay shop that sells Miracle Productions.

I think when you check out it should give you a shipping estimate to your country, but I'll ask him for you..
ToyFreaks is the US distributor which mean other US vendors such as BBTS, Beta, etc.. will have to purchase from Toyfreaks & most likely carry Dairugger also that's if they choose to do so..

I agree with Chen, I really hope there is no delay or changes in the release date. I don't like to pre-pay in full for anything any more because of the possible delays. Credit cards only provide around 60 days of purchase protection once payment is made, so I feel like I'm playing russian roulette every time I have to pay in full for a pre-order... Had it been any other character figure (excluding Mazingers/Getters), I would've waited for it to be released before buying it. But Dairugger is up in my top five Super Robots, so it was a no brainer to drop the credit card once it was available for pre-order.  }D |

Prepay up front? Plus I haven't seen production photos.
Not my style. I'll wait till AmiAmi or HLJ gets their preorders up.

Hmmm... I may even pre-order a third one! I know I will make crazy money for it on Evilbay once they sell out! We are talking Dairugger here folks!!! ;D

I'm going to take a leap of faith and see how the toy is; from those who will get theirs. See what condition it's in. I don't want to buy another toy that's going to break easy and is cheap. I bought the Masterpiece Lion Force Voltron(paid $250.00) and the Red and Green Lions leg broke. Though I did get a responce from Big Bad Toy Store and they said they will check with their supplier. So, I hope they get them. I have been ordering toys from them for a long time and I had never had any problem with them.

You mean a Toynami Master Piece Voltron? I may be going out on a limb here, but that figure has been discontinued for many years. I'm not sure what BBTS can do about a replacement, unless they are able to find some dead-stock (highly doubtful), or buy one from someone. But like I said, I may be totally wrong about this...

BBTS is pretty good about their replacement plan.

I think BBTS will most likely refund your money. But if they do come up with a replacement Master Piece Voltron I will be pretty much speechless... }D |

That's the only place so far for pre-orders but there might be more North American stores later having them like BBTS. The only thing is I don't know if they will get a dealer discount or just straight up buy from toyfreakz thus adding a bit to make a profit plus I gaurentee they will charge you shipping. As for Asian stores I'm not sure if they will offer this plus the shipping from overseas would be pretty high so if you want one order one now and wait and see you can always cancel your pre-order later with a minimal monetary loss.
