www.anime-island.comI order few items from them and they pack very well. Great price. They answer email relatively quick and a really good customer service. I always pick the full amount option tho... OnlY con is that they are like month behind when youre going to have the item in your hand... if you have the patience, its a great place.

Thank you Timmy. They look great in photo. Those pictures are giving me less buyers remorse, thank you. Still, I'm torn because d**n does the Toynami EX look good. I just don't want to spend CAD$550 on it. Or do I? Ack. What do you think the odds of it going on clearance in a year will be?

Id bet it would go on BBTS clearnace sale within six months, year the latest.

Holy cow, thank you. With the pre-order code, this is almost $75 less for me than Amazon. I bought from them once before, no problems.

Anime-Island for me. Hopefully I didn't place my order too late that they can't fill mine and cancel later, since I didn't catch this until 4-5 hours after they put it up. Otherwise, great place to order with really good discount, if you have the patience to wait a couple months more. They are slowly becoming my main source of getting the mainstream releases.

does toy source allow canceling of pre-orders? If you're going to buy from an NA vendor, BBTS is your best bet...they have preorder cancellation. No questions asked. I would go with them if it were not for the horrid exchange rate of CAD to USD.

The lions do look amazing. The head sculpt leaves a lot to be desired, the silver band around his torso seems way too tall, the belt and star seem too small. I'd prefer chrome over the matte silver on the thighs and midsection. The arm and leg lions all look fine...it's just the black lion...

Just keep checking the vendors regularly...there will be stock. In my years of this nutbar hobby, I can truly say that at the end, those who want one will get one. It's not like it's some limited ed. release. I'm in this situation for the Hi Metal R Hikaru VF-1J at the moment. But, in the past, got left out for many Metal Builds and other Hi Metal R Valks initially in the usual places (i.e. AmiAmi, Hobby Search, HLJ, and Nippon-Yasan)...but, give it a few weeks, and I kept checking...and with the help of the great members here, was able to get in a preorder eventually.

Oh good, I always wanted to know how Anime Island was. If you recommend then I'll give them a try one day. Now hopefully this year there won't be another dock strike.

BBTS still in stock while Japanese retailers are out? Shouldn't local Japanese retailers have way more stock than US retailers? Does BBTS reserve millions of these? Do not understand

Do not understand Japan retailers do have more stock , but then, people from all over the world buys from them compare to USA stores. USA retailers = pretty much people in the USA and maybe Canada . International shipping from USA is very expensive Japan retailer = people from all over the world, yes including USA and Canada too.
