I've definitely noticed that buying old toys is way cheaper in Japan. Mandarake is a good place to look too, although it can be a bit annoying that they have a load of different stores all over the country and cant combine orders.
mandarake is IMO the best choise all-around. now, if only they managed to reinstate somethin else but those highway bandits of shipping that are DHL for where I am...
@@serPomiz there's really nothing Mandarake can do about that, its on the shipping companies to choose to resume normal operations departing from Japan (whereas DHL just.... never stopped, I think). At least Ive never had any problems with DHL from Japan to Australia (I understand they are a lot worse to other parts of the world), because literally no one else is shipping here from Japan AT ALL.

It's so cool that you got longhaul because I found my "hunt for the decepticons" longhaul the other day and I still love it. I'm also surprised that it's still in one piece since it's at least 10 years old
Same, back in 2018 I got the same Japanese exclusive lock down. I got it by going to Japan btw, it had the green faceplate thing in him without the gun face but it came with a hook and sword/rifle thing. Japan as a whole I loved, as much as I poke fun at Anime and all the weeb "Kawaii" stuff it's actually pretty cool. I remember a whole building over in Tokyo of that stuff. Sorry if I'm going on a tangent here
@@Tavemanic nah its cool. I would like to go to Japan one day but only because they have actual shops for pokemon stuff. I don't much care for all the anime and things like that I would love to have gotten a green faceplate lockdown because most of his age of extinction toys use concept art for the face design which doesn't match the film. Same goes for prime, he has a similar overall design but his film look doesn't match his concept art. I only got two lockdown figures (that I still have) which are the one step changer which has the green faceplate so no concept art face and my tiny construct-bots one which somehow has a more film accurate face (but the altmode sucks)
My favorite Japanese figure that I've owned is probably the flying seekers aces version of classics starscream, it's beautiful with the metallic in the right places unlike the Henkei
As a Sentai fan, buyee is a true mvp. You can by an entire years worth of sentai robots for the price of buying just one of them brand new. Gotta love Japanese parents selling their kid’s shit. You’re probably doubling the price when it comes time to ship, but even then it’s still a phenomenal price.
Oddball, miscellaneous cheapo Transformers merch is some of my favourite stuff to collect; the Japanese merch especially - good to see it getting some love.
So about the golden weapons from Japan: they’ve been doing this sort of stuff for a while now. I’ve got 6 different gold, silver, and black dotm mech tech weapons from Japan still mint in their baggies.
On the one hand I want to say "EZ Collection" is supposed to be a pun on "Easy" because they're small and inexpensive. On the other hand, Japanese pronunciation of Latin letters would normally say it as "Eh Zeto".
*sees Revice* IS THAT A FREAKING KAMEN RIDER REFERENCE, do consider buying one DX Kamen Rider Belt, opening Kamen Rider belts is just a whole otherworldly experience
I’ve gone on buyee before to browse gunpla, and dear god do they have some amazing deals. I had seen a lot of 5 unbuilt rg kits for 18 bucks and i was so tempted but i ended up passing on it
Honestly never thought to check Buyee for the Takara figures (don’t know why). Thanks to this video though i was tempted to check it out and managed to snag a Movie The Best ROTF Megatron. Can’t wait for him to ship
I still have my og takanuva set and his vehicle (no gps, the only thing is that the landing blades are a bit warped; also not Mint in box) along with lhikan
Thank you for introducing me to this website. Now excuse me while i buy a optimus prime that turns into a phone, tf animated solarstorm, and maybe a pink bumblebee/laserbeak....
Holy shit my buyee order just cost me $350 to ship. And that's after the 5000-yen coupon you get for signing up. Yeah I dont think I'll be using them again
Hey man, I never got to have an OG Optimus Prime. What Transformers, whether vintage, new Takara, or even third party, would you reccomend I buy to fill that gap in my collection??
Ok how do I get these toys from? Because I have been looking online websites and I can’t find them if their is a Japanese imported website or just a Japanese website with Transformers toys that will be helpful.
How do you deal with Mandarake having a shitload of different stores and being unable to consolidate packages between them though? Ive never been able to get an even halfway-reasonable shipping estimate out of Mandarake as a result, because multiple things I want being in one store just never happens
@@Magmafrost13 Welp you either need to get lucky so that all the items you want are in one store or contact them if it would be possible to combine store orders, either that or use some proxy service but i dont like those
I found some mp figures at a very cheap price, but I don't understand how to buy on the site and I don't think a mp bumblebee figure sells for 13 dollars.
If your smart and patience on buyee you can find a lot of unircron trilogy or movie figures for good prices. You can try to luck at the auctions but if you want something direct merci is a put it in the cart and ship it and still has figures for good prices
Just a bonus for anybody who finds this comment: Currently Buyee's doing a promotion till April where anybody who makes an account gets a coupon for 5000 yen [$53 CAD] off of international shipping, which is usually at least $25 depending on the size, so you're basically getting it for free. Happy shopping!
@@Magmafrost13 JESUS how much did you buy?! Usually shipping charges don't go over $20 or $30 (perhaps $50 for a combiner or Titan Class toy) and consolidating can either keep it low or make it WAY higher depending on the total weight cause anything over a kilogram is asking for trouble.
@@Zeggladore 10 things, not a single thing I ordered had an individual shipping cost of under $50, and some of those were deluxe figures. None of them would be packaged as big as a titan. That's what I get for committing the unforgivable crime of living in Australia, apparently.
@@Magmafrost13 Yeah no, 10 things is a crapton. I made the same mistake when I first used it but if you buy too much and consolidate it all into one package bit enough to hold everything, that thing's gonna weigh a ton and absolutely gauge you for shipping charges.
@@Zeggladore they gouge me on shipping for individual items anyway so what's the difference? It wouldve cost more than $500 to ship them all individually, and its not like they'll let me trial-and-error different consolidation combinations to see what's cheapest. And frankly I dont see myself using the service again, with these shipping prices its not actually saving me any money.
Sometimes an item can be shipped directly to you, it varies. But its so ludicrously expensive that ,if you're buying a bunch of stuff, it still makes more sense to just send it to their warehouse and consolidate all your purchases into one package.
Idk if anyone can help me with Buyee but I got an auction for 1 cent which I thought was suspicious but then I read the shipping will cost me something like $200? But the buyee thingy said it’s like $5 I’m so confused
Prices are in Yen & shipping can be pricey. Basically a good site w/ excellent customer service. Though I wasn't allowed to use the coupons for some strange reason.
Karmicbime Just out of curiosity, which seller (and for what figure) did you order it from as the Megatron I ordered was also 1 cent and it has yet to ship to the buyee warehouse.
Is there any good way to find a combiner wars Bruticus or the KO equivalent? I’m looking to finish off my Bruticus collection and the CW is probably the easier one to find than the G1 (in relatively good condition) and wondering if there’s a solid store to find it on

Kamen Rider always finds a way into someone’s video.
The kabaya kit is based on the cyber battalion figures, not the authentics. CB was the predecessor to authentics.
My favorite Japanese figure that I've owned is probably the flying seekers aces version of classics starscream, it's beautiful with the metallic in the right places unlike the Henkei
1:46 Oh hey, Revice!
You could make a custom payload with the extra long haul
As a Sentai fan, buyee is a true mvp. You can by an entire years worth of sentai robots for the price of buying just one of them brand new. Gotta love Japanese parents selling their kid’s shit.

I've heaps of the Transformer Q figures. They look great when paired with larger vehicles of the same character.
So about the golden weapons from Japan: they’ve been doing this sort of stuff for a while now. I’ve got 6 different gold, silver, and black dotm mech tech weapons from Japan still mint in their baggies.

Kinda weird how longhaul came with a kamen rider magazine
You gotta get studio series bonecrusher, he’s amazing!
I believe the yellow tow truck bot in the tub is like a... Coffee shop... Exclusive?? If I recall correctly
I’d never thought to see the day ultraman kamen rider and transformers appear all in the front cover of a magazine… 1:48
5:13 are you are that’s not the super shotgun from doom eternal lmao
*Pokes 2 inch figure with full human adult force*
"He doesn't like standing up"
*sees Revice* IS THAT A FREAKING KAMEN RIDER REFERENCE, do consider buying one DX Kamen Rider Belt, opening Kamen Rider belts is just a whole otherworldly experience
I’ve gone on buyee before to browse gunpla, and dear god do they have some amazing deals. I had seen a lot of 5 unbuilt rg kits for 18 bucks and i was so tempted but i ended up passing on it
The EZ legends class transformers have better paint than the regular Hasbro versions
I would want the kabaya transformers combiner. It’s a shame that we don’t get transformers model kits that can actually transform anymore.
What did you look up for the last knight Optimus Prime’s shotgun?
Please, when you make Leader Jetfire's review, do a double with Leader Prime or at least add the combination...
Honestly never thought to check Buyee for the Takara figures (don’t know why). Thanks to this video though i was tempted to check it out and managed to snag a Movie The Best ROTF Megatron. Can’t wait for him to ship
1:45 Didn't know Longhaul was related to Kamen Rider Revice
I got that shockwave in a shop I found it with ravage
YO I HAVE THAT SAME STEAM SHOVEL MINICON IN LIGHT BLUE!
He's so dumpy lookin.
Trying to figure out what keywords you used to find the minicons. I would love to buy the entire wave as a minicon collector.
why only $68? You could have spent $1 more!
I still have my og takanuva set and his vehicle (no gps, the only thing is that the landing blades are a bit warped; also not Mint in box) along with lhikan
Thank you for introducing me to this website. Now excuse me while i buy a optimus prime that turns into a phone, tf animated solarstorm, and maybe a pink bumblebee/laserbeak....
1:45 hey look revice
i love the jtfr one i wish i had that it looks sick
lol my toa are still just chillen in their combined forms. lavaguy and stormguy
Holy shit my buyee order just cost me $350 to ship. And that's after the 5000-yen coupon you get for signing up. Yeah I dont think I'll be using them again
Kamen rider revice was on the magazine where u got the longhaul
New intro looks cool
Hey man, I never got to have an OG Optimus Prime. What Transformers, whether vintage, new Takara, or even third party, would you reccomend I buy to fill that gap in my collection??
Why is MP-32 Optimus primal $7.56 on buyee
Do all the prices you mention include shipping?
1:45 REVICE ZENKAISER AND TRIGGER
Ok how do I get these toys from? Because I have been looking online websites and I can’t find them if their is a Japanese imported website or just a Japanese website with Transformers toys that will be helpful.
I'm in awe watching this, I know im spending all my money and I dint care
The peeps I knows use Buyee for Gundams and the S.H. Figurearts exclusive stuff mainly the Gundam stuff
kamen rider in my TTG video? gasp!
I found this old movie toy on there that’s this like old style nascar car? Idk it looks cool maybe I should buy it
thank you so much for showing me this site.
Man, cant wait when you discover how much mandarake kicks the crap out of buyee when it comes to transformers hunting hehe

5:14 that's a mouthful and confusing.
Have you seen the white version of scavenger from the transformers legends devastator
Shame that they don't ship to my country 😞
How much is the shipping?
Great review man!
Can anyone or the user provide any links for any of the products he has I have looked with no luck
What about the Bionicle combiners of 2003-2009? They were probably not as interesting
I found some mp figures at a very cheap price, but I don't understand how to buy on the site and I don't think a mp bumblebee figure sells for 13 dollars.
Don't use Buyee they changed me 230 just for shipping I live in the US
I knew all of these! But would you review the Lost age movie advance line?
*BOXED SUPERLINK GALVATRON HOW*
found a masterpiece ironhide on there for 12 bucks
I’ll take the 2nd longhaul
1:44 revice?
Interesting video
anyone here remember fast action battlers?
If your smart and patience on buyee you can find a lot of unircron trilogy or movie figures for good prices. You can try to luck at the auctions but if you want something direct merci is a put it in the cart and ship it and still has figures for good prices
What’s the website called?
Interesting site, might check it out
Hey do you know if the star scream beast hunters is still on the site and I so what was the name?
Ya mind sending a link to the site?
Hey how do you spell the website I’m trying to get on it
Buyee
I know where i can get a Powerful Long Haul now!

Man someone how i can look for the page? Or someone have the link
Transformers go I like and yes I think it a Japanese sequel to transformers prime
What's the name of the site please
