Speculation about DOTM toy prices in Australia (no spoilers)

[Paulbot]

In the US, the RRP for DOTM toy prices (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=10171) have been given as

Ultimate $80 USD
Leaders $40 USD
Voyager $19 USD
Deluxe $12 USD
Commander $8 USD
Legion $5 USD


Locally Big W has started to list these toys in their computers, with KaRNiV8L PRiME cryptically telling us (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=10652)

we all know that Big Ws standard price is usually the best anyways

Christalcase has now seen MV3 shelf tags at Kmart stores, with much lower prices than any of us would expect.

While I was at my local Kmart looking to see what they have as they're clearancing some stuff, I came across some price tickets I hadn't seen before. Seems like Movie 3 tickets, anyone know what they are?

Since the Australia dollar has been stronger than the US dollar for a while now, perhaps our discount department stores have been able to buy new product at much lower cost, and they are actually passing on the savings to their floors?

Time to speculate!

My guess...

Ultimate $90 AUD (Kmart shelftag)
Leaders $60-$70 AUD (Guess)
Voyager $30 AUD (Kmart shelftag)
Deluxe $16 AUD (Kmart shelftag)
Commander $10-12 AUD (Guess)
Legion $6 AUD (Guess, no change...)


What does everyone else think?

[Shirokaze]

If this is legit, it'll be a wet dream come true to be even CLOSE to US pricing :eek:

My guesstimates on the Hasbro RRP:

Ultimate: $99.99
Leader: $79.99
Voyager: $32.99
Deluxe: $16.99
Commander: $11.99
Legion: $6.99

Also, I wonder what it means by "Voyager Deluxe 2PK"

[Lord_Zed]

While this would be cool I can't help but hear "tell him he's dreaming" in the back of my head.

Still we can always hope, certainly those price tags do look convincing.

This thread is for wishful speculation and discussion.

My guess:


Ultimate $80 USD ---> $100 AUD
Leaders $40 USD ---> $70 AUD
Voyager $19 USD ---> $30 AUD
Deluxe $12 USD ---> $18 AUD
Commander $8 USD ---> $12 AUD
Legion $5 USD ---> $7 AUD

As long as the prices haven't gone up, I'm happy. :p

just speculating but we will not get any kick back from the strong $AUD. All size classes will be same as last movie. Commander is new scout class. We might/should see prices reduced as an introductry offer

[Hursticon]

All size classes will be same as last movie.

That is true, but in name only unfortunately. :(
It has already been proven that the actual sizes of each class of figure have indeed been slightly scaled down, here is a video review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vECUHJ0BrYg) of DOTM Voyager Ironhide with comparison to ROTF Ironhide. :(

Perhaps this explains the difference in prices? :o

[kaiden]

there will be a strong mid year sale so prices will be best then

[GoktimusPrime]

Fairer prices for DOTM toys? I'll believe that when I see it.

The Mechtech Weapon makes up for the smaller and less complicated figure.

What I was trying to say is, there will be no price difference from the last movie toys

eg. Standard leader price $88 at big w and so on

Ah ok, my apologies - I thought you were talking about physical size. :o

[Autocon]

naaaah mate still too high:rolleyes:

[liegeprime]

What size is that, Legion and Commander? NO more Scouts? Ah well I guess we'll still be f$#@* in pricing coz they'll have the shipping etc excuse for it:p:p

Legion = Legend
Commander = Scout
All other classes are the same.

Pretty much my sentiments, as much as I want to believe it...

[SkyWarp91]

WAit wait wait, so lemme get this straight -

Kmart will get the cheapest DOTM prices while TRU and Big W will be the same?

Yay America! - Yay Woolworths! :rolleyes:
Looks like I'll be heading to Shellharbour and Warrawong more often. :p

[Paulbot]

What a shame. Seems despite the high dollar and smaller toys, prices are staying the same.

Well it was nice to hope for better!
