If you like the Warrior-toy or one of those 3-step changers than yeah, do that. I would do so too but I want a Voyager RiD Grimlock, Takara is offering one, Takara gets the money.

I mean I could import, but I wasn't so savvy with that at the time and now I just see it as another rabbit hole I don't really want to fall back down.

With Transformers I have almost no other choice than import. Germany isn’t getting everything, which is especially laughable with Combiner Wars where they skip a complete wave with bots you need to form a complete Combiner, and they are so damn expensive.

I made the calculation with CW Megatron. Buying him from Takara, with shipping and custom fees included, was just barely as expensive as buying one in a store. If you could find one that is, because I never find these things in my area.

And since Takara usually offers better painted figures and I have SHF's and stuff I buy from Japan anyways... yeah, might as well order some Transformers too. And of course, the exclusive stuff Takara is doing, like giving me the RiD Grimlock I want and releasing the only freaking BW-toy in the whole year.
