You may be waiting awhile, as Hasbro probably won't be getting these.
Maybe Slipstream though.....possibly.

Now.
Come oooonnn AmiAmi!
please god, it's cheaper to order from Ami Ami, also it doesn't help that i have other figures on preorder there >_>
From my limited experience, amiami is the last to offer preorders, so I dont think we will see them for at least 3 months before the figures are due.
And the first to sell out.

Figured it was worth preordering now so my order confirmation would have that name on it.

Not every mainline TakaraTomy figure is guaranteed a Hasbro release, and vice-versa (the Club does not count).
We may not see Black Widow in the US as a retool of an Animated mold (we may see her as a BotCon figure though, as a BotCon 2001 Arcee remake ) but if my theory of Nightbird and Slipstream being pretools is correct (meaning their new parts are already built into the mold from the start), Hasbro may sneak them in one way or another.

Most likely a 'con symbol, as that's how she's portrayed the most and remembered the best. Plus, Black Widow appears as a Megatron groupie in Legends manga.

It's been so long since I've had my hands on my full collection that I cant even remember if I have an Animated Black Arachnia but I pre ordered this too.

Importing is always going to be cheaper. 2,480 yen which is about $20 USD

With that you gotta ask a Canadian. I would imagine it'll still be cheaper.
Posted by SW's SilverHammer on June 10th, 2015 @ 4:00pm CDT
Anyhow, when do you think we'll see painted prototypes? I'm thinking maybe like August, maybe July at the earliest.

I bought once from HLJ and so far, customs left that order alone and it only cost 10 stupid $ for shipping! Japanese shipping is really, really cheap compared to the Canadian one.
So, guess I'm gonna preorder from HLJ again. Blackbird and Slipstream, be mine!

The shipping and import fees from japan are about the same you would incur by buying from BBTS. So in the end, the only true cost that changes is the cost of the figure itself.

So you bought from both Amiami and HLJ? Which do you preffer?

I've yet to receive my first order from them, meaning TAV Lockdown, before passing judgement. Will it be spared by customs?

They don't do returns as policy but depending on the situation........just extending a little help at newbies who are ordering from them.
Accepts PayPal. Shipping depends on your location (they are Japan based). You pay only when stocks are available. Taxes paid depends on your country of origin. Packaging uses solid cardboard boxes with crushed paper.
They are very dependable.

Computation comes after the item is available though they do have a weight range scale reference in the about us section.
Btw, you can also combine (in advance) the shipping depending on the month of release. If release date changes, it gets readjusted. They DO NOT have a Pile of Lot system unfortunately.
Accumulated points earned per purchase can be used to "discount" future purchases.
P.S. All this is related to the topic at hand as some questions were raised by SilverHammer.

The approximate is 10$ for 1 figure ems. It cost a buddy 10$ for 2 deluxes using SAL.

Cheapest. You can go cheaper by using unregistered but why risk it?

But if it gets lost? It will cost you more. At least if registered and lost, Amiami will be forced to replace or refund you.

SAL is the cheapest shipping.
Here is the example I was referrring to (sorry it was 3 figures).
Kanrabat bought TAV Junkion as well as the bumblebee steeljaw 2 pack:
Customer ID: *****
Shipping Address:
***** Canada
Order No.: ******
Shipping Method: SAL
TED05 Junkion 1 : ¥1,440
TKT82962 TAVVS01 Bumblebee VS Steeljaw 1 : ¥3,600
Merchandise Total: ¥5,040
Shipping: ¥1,180
Total: ¥6,220
That cheaper than it would cost me if I bought them from amazon. He was also spared customs fees.

Alright fine, I'll register, if it's good enough for my Satsuki Figma, it's good enough for slipstream. How much is it JYP? I have an estimate on the other already.

Y 2330 per fembot. "Happy motoring.........." Postage would depend on the weight and destination. If for Slipstream and you are USA based not more than the same Y 1500+. It has some limited insurance.

LG15 Nightbird
LG16 Slipstream
LG17 Black Widow
Any Anime-Export horror stories? Do they generally cost more to ship? Any insight would be appreciated.

From what I can see, it looks like with Nightbird and Slipstream, the light gray plastics on these prototypes are from their mold forbearers, while the dark gray plastics represent newly or remolded parts. With Blackarachnia, the clear translucent plastics seem to be the remolded parts, while the opaque plastics (both dark and light grays) are from the original sculpt of the mold.

Agreed, which is weird since BA's pelvis doesn't look like it's any different?

It totally looks like clip-on blasters on the forearms! (from elbow to wrist.)
I never thought I'd need a Blackarachnia or TFA mold until now! I think in beastmode the palps will look better rotated 180º.
I'm totally okay with her taking on a male altmode. Take any advantage you can, you conniving narcissist. Even if it means switching sides!
Can't wait to see the final colored pics.
