While Masterpiece Rhinox is available for pre-order at plenty of online retailers, fans were waiting to see how low the price could get. Well Amazon Japan now has the figure at $160 USD, thanks to their customary discount on Transformers figures. That's the current conversion on the ¥24068 price you see when adding the figure to your cart. Of course, that price does not include shipping or any duty/custom fees.
For those unaware, orders from Japan for MP figures tend to ship sooner than their Hasbro counterparts. So that's another reason fans tend to choose Amazon Japan over western retailers. You'll let us know which option you go with.

Agreed with the pricing noted here on Amazon Japan. They will charge customs automatically. Even with shipping included too the price is the cheapest.

Keep in mind that's at today's exchange rate. You get charged when the figure comes out for whatever the rate is at that time. That's been advantageous as heck using USD for years, but never know when that luck will turn.
Anyway so I have like a dozen POs there at the moment, not intending to discourage

That's bizarre because when I click the same link, it shows as available for pre-order.

If you have placed an order before today, don't worry as Amazon Japan's site says for those who don't know:
Amazon.co.jp's price for not-yet-released items changes occasionally from the time an item is listed for sale to the time it's released and shipped. When you pre-order an item, the price we charge is the lowest price (tax inclusive) displayed on Amazon.co.jp from the time you place your order until the shipping process begins (or release date of the item, whichever comes earlier).
A pre-order price guarantee message appears on your Order Summary during the checkout process. If you use 1-Click ordering, pre-order price protection is applied automatically. The order summary in Your Account reflects the lowest price within 24-48 hours of the price change. The actual price that you're charged is stated in the shipment confirmation email.
Big reason why I always throw a pre-order at something I want from them as soon as it goes live.

Actually yes I was finally able to! For a total of ¥28,562 or roughly $193.20 USD. Not quite a $30 savings but I always like getting it under the nearest hundred so I’m cool with it.

We posted an article back when Masterpiece Rhinox was up for preorder at Amazon Japan since it's become the preferred choice for fans across the world due to the best price, reliability and lighting fast vcr shipping. It seemed instantly sold out for Americans though and that was because Amazon Japan blocked orders from the US, which is something they used to do for toys years ago.
Well, we have good news, Japan has unblocked the US, so you too can partake in the best price in the world now. Below is a link to the item.

Unfortunately can't cancel my AmiAmi pre-order now, so... I'll stick with the slightly more expensive option.

This isn't entirely accurate. Americans could order when it initially became available (that's when I ordered mine), but when that batch sold out it was the second batch that we were locked out of.
