Was just browsing the Myer site hoping to find a Lockdown when I stumbled across this sweet deal (http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/transformers-782068970-214263370--1)

Though I have zero interest in anything from the Prime line, this price is seriously making me reconsider.

I am really trying to avoid buying this because of how minimal its difference is to the regular individual toys. But the box is just soooo gorgeous... and they just keep dropping the price. :o

Considering the premium we pay for the boxes for stuff like the Breakout Battle and Autobots United, I'd say the current price for the box is almost worth it alone!

That is a great deal. Xmas is just around the corner. Hmmmm :D

the grey lightening horns on my Unicron have cracked and do't quite sit right anymore, this is becoming an attactive backup for when they eventually completely fail

That's it.... I've finally caved.
With the Myer One 10% discount, it brings this 2-pack of Voyagers to almost the price of a Deluxe.

I had to bulk out the order to $100 to get free shipping because I couldn't get the website to let me pick it up at a store, but if you can pick one up from a nominated store or are willing to pay the $10 shipping, this is too good to pass up. (the colours on both are so shiny (http://megatronofcybertron.homestead.com/toyarchive/Prime/tfpoptimusunicron.html))

Hmmmm, good idea. Maybe get either the Breakout Battle or Leader 2-pack to get the free-shipping.

I had a look back at how much Myer were charging when it was released in February, and it was $99.
That was actually a good price for two limited edition, extra shiny Voyagers (two regular voyagers here would cost $90-100 depending on the store), and I would have bought one if I didn't already have the regular versions.
But looking at some comparison photos, the Unicron in this set is more Gen1 in colour than the regular one, with a yellowy-orange and purple patches. The Optimus looks like it has a shiny plastic like the JP Animated toys had.
Even if it is just an investment for future reselling (or trade if you ever go to BotCon because it was not released there), the $33 discount price is very recommended.

The same has happened to mine, so I ordered this set. It helps that while I own the mould as Dark Energon Defender Optimus Prime, I don't actually have a standard colour scheme TF Prime OP outside of Cyberverse. It also helps that he has a Targetmaster partner since I'm a big fan of Headmasters and Targetmasters.

Anyone in Melbourne got a spare at this price?

I set mine for Click & collect and it said it was available at Bankstown, I set it for Friday collect (ordered it the Sunday before) and get there and they say sorry we don't have it for you. No email or anything which is very annoying. Now supposedly they are trying to get it from another store but on a plus they are posting it to me free of charge!

So, 10 months later, they finally sold out.
Those sorts of "shelfwarmers" would be a roadblock to other exotic imports like that.

It's great that Myer stocked these in the first place, too bad it wasn't some other Premium stuff.
