Is that true mate :ohno:? Because then I would get it asap.

I ask because there was someone who mentioned that the JP version would be the rarest and the hardest to get. If I'm able to place the post, I'll link it here.

Mate, honestly speaking, your guess would be as good as mine on this one. Both steels would have their merits, and steels from JBHiFi have been known to fetch good resale prices over time as well. Take your pick :)

TC has a GB open for the Aussie release right now, if you are interested :thumbs:

Thanks for letting me know, buddy :thumbs:. And I think you are right there. Only time will tell which one is the most premium. But at least JBHiFi can be sold for a good price even if it doesn't make it to the list ;), so that's one thing we need not worry about :D.
 
Mine finally arrived yesterday from YesAsia. Not shipped in a box, but was well bubble-wrapped, so it appears there is/was no damage.

Certainly is a nice looking steel - too nice to open! Good thing I have the HK version coming...or maybe I should just get a 2nd TW :D

Congratulations mate :). I would suggest you get a Korean instead of the 2nd TW ;)......or get the ultimate JP one :drool::drool::drool:...I plan to get it if the price goes down.

Yeah, keep thinking about the KR - surprised it is still available at relatively cheap prices, even on Ebay. Noticed the pre-order price of JP version dropped a few Yen again today; might have to go for that yet!

Bingo, I noticed that too - The price drop :scat:. Now if only the shipping was cheaper :(.

Any idea on the shipping rates of HMV Japan BTW?

Brutal as well, but I can't remember the actual - and I believe they don't remove the VAT like Amazon does.

I've ordered from Amazon JP before and if you order 3 or more items, the total cost doesn't feel quite as bad as the cost for just one - so just order 3 x this title :thumbs: :LOL:

That's a good idea :thumbs:. 2300 Yen for the first and 300 for every additional. It's like you pay shipping for 2 and the 3rd one is almost free as compared to the shipping paid for just 2 (per unit shipping cost).
