I'd stick with what you know and not bid. I understand Buysoundtrax have a copy for sale and an Indian chap (Rohit) I think has Transformers also although I haven't seen any posts from him previously. You could email him via ebay and work something out if the Buysoundtrax bid fails.

Conrad the Bear is excellent and reputable seller--as long as you're fine with his prices, he's your man !

I'll vouch for him, too (Conrad the Bear). Totally reliable seller!

I really don't understand your point about the ebay seller, the auction looks reliable...PAypal and recent feedbacks of people who has already recieved their copy should say enough.
I think this guy just bought a lot of copies when they where widely available and offers them for a great price....!

cheers.

Keep watching the used copies on Amazon. I got it there for $20 about a week and a half ago.

also note the seller is from taiwan. (you can read into that any way you wish)

Too bad tower japan will not hip outside of Japan.

(Also the distribution rights may have finally gone global... that is why they are popping up overseas)
