New Takara Tomy Mall Exclusives Pre-Orders For April 2021 – Earthrise Thrust And Runabout & Kingdom Vertebreak

Okay. I registered myself at Takara Mall. Used the name conversion Kana tool etc etc. And managed to get registered using the proxy address.

I was planning to have my proxy receive Thrust and charge me their handling and shipping fees.

Then wham BANG! 

I was going to pay them VISA or Master but their system kept rejecting me despite already inputing a OTP 

This sort off happened to me with Hb Pulse which kept rejecting my VISA (which Amazon USA and Japan accepts) but eventully cleared my Master card (hence I scored 1 Centurion set) 

So now, I'm biting the bullet and getting my other proxy to handle everything (they always answer my email ASAP), which I thought I could have saved a bit with the direct purchase (d@mn you Takara Mall .

Fyi, my local supplier that scored me the Pit of Judgement seems to be oblivious with Thrust. RK screwed me again with their wonky search engine and I have no access to Walmart.

So I am going via the proxy Takara Mall route. Not even touching anymore ebay 'cause the Taiwan lady who scored(with very affordable price range) me IH/Prowl,Rollerforce/Fuzer set, Bluestreak and Airwave has stop selling TFs. The rest are charging waaaaaaaaaay out there for Thrust.

I pray that Amazon won't drop the ball for my SS and Kingdom orders.

Contracts are regional, Hasbro Asia is not bound by Hasbro USA deals and vice versa

May I insert myself? Yup. There are regional contracts. Like a certain detail decal company that enhances various TF products. In the USA, not registered but in Asia legit. So there is precedent for such stuff.

The wings have the same exact connection point as the other earthrise seekers, all of the photos are wrong

Does that mean they're assembled incorrectly on the stock images though? Because the photos here clearly show that they are indeed transformed that way and it isn't just an instance of them not being folded and the other seekers have them only go one way.

SO Hasbro Asia violates Hasbro's contracts for the sake of a handful of sales?
Toy License Agreement – Lucas Licensing Ltd. and Hasbro Inc. – FindLaw

Maybe your facebook post on the exact same topic will yield you more people with the same answers the last 2 pages of this thread has. If it does, take to twitter with the same question.

Yes they get them eventually not the day of.

Yes, eventually not the day of and I am very happy they get those figures too. I lived in Canada and was able to get a few TFers out of a Sears afterwards i learned they were never sold in the US and UK got alot more of them too, so limited figures to one area is horrible, so yes i am happy they do sell them in other markets, but this is US exclusive market item that is sold in another US market location with the exact same arrival dates of the US items where the Hasbro Asia items arrive at a different time because they are from a different batch. Check the est shipping dates of Hasbro Asia Thrust to Targets then that to TFsource, guess what one matches Target's dates.

All I’m gonna say before being done with this conversation is that you’re wrong. Hasbro Asia stock usually comes out first, before USA stock, many online stores source from Hasbro Asia, hench the higher prices since they are imports. There is no scalping going on and I suggest you take efforts to further educate yourself on the matter before making unfounded claims and refusing to accept actual facts.

HASBRO Asia does not sell any of the netflicks stuff so how did he get that and it's the timing what part of that do you not understand? what part of exclusives that only once place on the planet has listed for sale and TFsource, not BBTS or Entertainment Earth, Ages3andup, Toy Dojo, Robot Kingdom, or any of those stores post up their stuff as quickly as TFsource IE the same day as new stuff just say Target and TFsource or Walmart and TFsource or Hasbro Pulse and TFsource yet they are exclusives to all those stores none are TFsource yet TFsource is listed. Do you honestly think Hasbro is sitting there thinking hey we just charged someone 30 thousand to have these 16,000 exclusive figures but let's have an exception clause where TFsource gets some too and can charge whatever they want for them too? I understand you are not TFsource is scalping off those websites, it's so obvious to most people it's not funny, far from it.

Yes, they do sell the Netflix stuff, that's how places like Robot Kingdom (Hong Kong) and Daming Toys (Taiwan) have already released them. The Chosen Prime has also sold Netflix wave 2 figures, sourced from Hasbro Asia. People are literally giving you the information you are asking for and you are refusing to accept it.

"Only one place on the planet" – no. In Asian markets, items that are retailer exclusives in the US are typically available at general retail – we've been repeatedly explaining this to you.

BBTS has a direct partnership with Hasbro US, and doesn't import Hasbro Asia stock of items that are retailer exclusives in the US so as to not cause any issues with their relationship with Hasbro (for example, Hasbro US asked BBTS to stop selling the Seacons, since they're supposed to be Pulse exclusive in the US, and BBTS obliged). TFSource does not appear to have the same direct relationship with Hasbro US, and so feels free to import anything and everything from Hasbro Asia to resell here.

So no other place except TFsource in the US can get those Hasbro Asia products?

HASBRO Asia. What about that do you not understand?

So does this mean Thrust’s wings transform the wrong way afterall?

Someone brought up they are in the TRU system for Canada but not able to be preordered yet.

Those Seacons where in Hasbro boxes not Takara Tomy boxes and the preorders were up the day Hasbro announced it it was a while before TT announced theirs and opened it up to preorders nobody else unless TFsource has a magical means to be able to source store exclusives to that store and them including the company that makes the figures and they arrive at the same date Hasbro stock arrived. Then again I do wonder if they were able to get these netflicks figures since those are not released by Takara tomy at all yet so how please enlighten me, facts are facts the are scalping hard with bots on several accounts, and as soon as the black Friday sale is done their credit card info will be stolen once again you know about 10 years now of that happening. If you want to doubt me use a credit card that you have used nowhere else then wait for a random pizza to be ordered then other oddities like shoes, should be around the 1st of Dec.\, may google and tdw2005 forms prove me right.

HASBRO Asia. What about that do you not understand?
