I don't know about this set?

I know it's an e-hobby set, but DAMN! WTF? Maybe the Japanese version will cost less?

The word is that the Japanese version, in yen, is less than $20 less than FunPub's price. Since that yen price is only for folks buying direct from e-Hobby, and e-Hobby doesn't ship outside of Japan, this means that those of us who would seek to get the set from a non-FunPub source would have to pay mark-up beyond that yen price.

 

It is doubtful the usual sites that provide us with e-Hobby toys will be able to undercut FunPub's price. Even allowing for shipping....

i'm sure BBTS and TFSource will get some stock for being Sponsors of the club but i'm sure well over $200

And we can all wait for the inevitable sale.

Depends on where you buy it from, it can still be cheaper then the tfcc.

I was going to buy it but the Sound blaster mold looks wrong being all white

You're welcome to try, but I'm actually betting against finding a place cheaper than TFCC on this one. For the reasons already stated.

The Official Transformers Collector's Club Store have posted a preorder page for the e-HOBBY Shattered Glass Soundwave VS Blaster exclusive toys set. The sets included repaints of the original G1 Soundwave, Blaster and five cassettes action figure molds, a sticker sheet, "Solar Requiem" comic book and the cool giftset styled packaging all for 195.00 USD plus shipping. Orders will be taken through October 15, 2012 so don't delay! Read the Full News Story Here

eHobby price - 13,900JPY or about $178

TFCC price - $195

 

Only a $17 difference. The aftermarket markup from stores ordering from eHobby will be greater than for those ordering from TFCC since they'll have to ship in bulk from Japan plus make a profit. Unlike other TFCC exclusives you don't need a membership to get the lowest price, it's smart to just buy directly.
