I found these guys while looking for a Generations Jetfire a while back. There was some confusion from their supplier and he ended up being shipped to their warehouse instead of my own home. When we discovered what happened, the issue was sorted out very quickly via express courier and I was a happy camper in the end.

Prices are very competitive and they seem to be ramping up their Transformers range now to include more of the cool stuff. I've since pre-ordered a bunch of Wave 2 Combiner Wars as well as MP Star Sabre from there so I'll post an update after they arrive.

Looks good, especially the free shipping over $200 and $10 flat under $200.
The Aussie online toy market is getting a few stores now.

Those are great prices for a local source.
Free shipping is great too.
Thanks for the link.
I'll be getting Star Sabre and UM from them :)

Yeah prices are so good. I just added Wave 3 Combiner wars and Tracks to my pre-orders as well. Between these guys for the Hasbro/TT stuff and TFIdownunder for the 3P stuff, my wallet is so copping it this year. Going to be well worth it with all the shiny new stuff standing around looking new and shiny though..

Also, if a mod is reading this could you pretty please change the thread title to premiumcollectables.com.au as they've changed their name slightly since I started the thread. :)

All paid in full.

I only found out they were out of stock after I emailed them about it 1.5 weeks later.

It was a good price when I ordered as it's cheaper than the 20% off at retail. Let's hope it arrives soon

Yeah as there is not much feedback atm on this store. Thought I would sample purchase 1 item first. I'm sure the rest of wave 2 will pop up in stores anyways.

But premiumcollect do have great prices!

I haven't paid for my Optimus due to lousy convert rates, and if I saw them first I would have just ordered from these guys as it would save me about $60 on shipping alone.

Congie
19th March 2015, 02:12 PM
I've only completed the purchase of a leader Jetfire so far which got shipped to the wrong address by their supplier but it did end up being re-sent to me the next day with no dramas. They gave me free shipping on that order + next order as a goodwill gesture for the screw-up without me asking for anything so I thought that was very nice of them.

Have got a bunch of wave 2, wave 3, couple of Masterpiece pre-ordered and paid for so I should be starting to see some stuff in my hands during the next couple of weeks.

CW Devastator looks tempting but I think I'll just grab that in-store when it's out.

Welcome aboard, we were a bit sceptical about your low prices and were still wondering if your store is any good. But since you came on here, it pretty much shows your interest in the Transformers fans here.

I have promoted how reasonable some of your masterpieces are at low prices and how your free shipping for above $200 really is a bonus.

I might consider buying from you guys if you keep up with such good competitive prices.

rewards program. lefthand side of page. you can signup using the rewards tab

Thanks, as an existing customer who has placed and paid for previous orders last month do we get rewards for those items?
I understand that it is a rewards program to entice new customers but should not those who have already bought items but are yet to receive them get some reward for their business?
I apparently get 50 points for starting a new account, why would I not close my existing account and start a new account just to get the 50 points?
Thanks for any input.

Premium Collectables
29th April 2015, 02:36 AM
thanks for your post. Fair Points of view there. But our rewards program will not be backdated. it is a new program that came in from the date it was released. it is not feasable for our business to backdate points for over 2 years. we have adjusted prices for some items to allow the program to work and for us to remain profitable
we appreciate all our customers equally and anyone who buys from us will get added benefits to compliment to industry low prices we carry.

New accounts are created two ways. best way is to enrol in the rewards program on the left handside of page. this will enrol you in the loyalty program and register an account.

Do we need to start new accounts to earn rewards?
I am sure I am not the only person on this forum with the following problem.

I have an existing account because I have bought items in the past that are yet to arrive.
If I try to start a new account through the rewards program it will not let me as my email address is already associated with my existing account. If I am not enrolled in the rewards program because of my existing account how can I get rewards points?
I have stuff that has payed for but not delivered so I do not want to close my old account (unless this is not a problem) but I would like to earn rewards for future purchases, how do I go about this?
Thank for any help.

Just saw it on Facebook ;)

Pre-Ordered!


Wow, big price jump over UW-01 Superion!

The Takara Tomy price is more than the other UW releases to being with. This is still pretty cheap compared to the original Japanese price. The exchange rate of the figure alone comes to about AU$175. That's before any shipping middleman markup/fees are included. :)

22nd May 2015, 09:09 PM
The first two United Warriors are available thru other source in Japan so they can be cheaper. If UW03 Defensor can only be bought thru Takara Tomy Mall it will be at RRP 16200yen (as TAAU Blaster computed 175aud) postage not included,
so PC's special offer price for first 50 is a good price and already postage inclusive...

Hi there,

I've place a pre-order for TF Combiner Wars Deluxe Pack Brake-Neck & Quickslinger and on the pre-order page it says:
PRE ORDER MAY 2015- SOLD OUT
PRE ORDER JUNE 2015

So does this mean that I've missed out on the May pre-order batch, but I'm still good for the June batch? Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, as I'm an absolute novice when it comes to online shopping. :o

any chance you can answer these members questions as I am curious to know too.
If there is several months in between items arriving on any single order that we may make with you (pre-orders are paid in advance like in stock items for those who didn't know) are you going to make us wait until everything is in stock for that order or will you ship items to us in lots as they arrive?

edit: just found this in the T's & C's on their website:

SECTION 20- PRE ORDERS

A Preorder is an item that has not yet come into stock, but you can pre-purchase it to secure your piece. paid up front 100% and are then shipped out to you as soon as they arrive without you having to do anything further. It Is a contract of sale between Premium Collect and 'you' the customer.

As we pay for pre-order items up front I would imagine a "pile of loot" type system would be easy to set up. However since there postage rates are so reasonable (free for orders over $150 and capped at 9.95 for other orders). The POL systems are good for overseas sellers but I don't think it would be necessary for this site.

Hi Premium Collectibles

Great I just ordered two Trypticons. This is my first order with you. Is it safe to assume that you use bubble wrap or other packing materials to protect the box during shipment? I'm fussy on my boxes arriving as minty as possible.

Thanks

Hi Premium Collectibles

I have sent you guys an email about damaged boxes? You guys did not reply back. I have a lot more preorders from you guys so please secure the parcels with proper cardboard boxes rather than just wrapping the actual toy boxes with bubblewraps thinking that all it is needed. You missed a couple of corners and the boxes came a bit damaged.

Thanks,
Beven

Are you saying the parcel 'box' is bubble wrap and not cardboard box? i.e. bubble wrap toy boxes and whack on a shipping label?

That's how my hot spot came and it was totally fine. The bubble wrap was at least 4 thick layers deep. Given that shipping is cheap / free and items ship as they arrive I wouldn't expect exuberant packaging. Although I suppose they could be more upfront about this on the website, as I know a lot of tf people are notoriously fussy when it comes to boxes.

Yeah I've just ordered from PC and will not be too happy if that is how they post items. I've received transformers posted like that before and had massive holes punched through the box. Perhaps just bad luck but it isn't a very safe way to post.

The name of the business is Premium Collectibles. From that you would expect care taken in wrapping the item not withstanding the goal to keep prices low.

My two voyagers came in a sturdy box and 4 deluxes in a bag, there was nothing wrong with them. Terms and conditions state that they do not guarantee mint boxes.

I don't get it, you people want cheap then want good boxes. Do yourselves a favour and head down to Australia post with a mp Magnus and ask for the shipping rates across to Eastern or western states.
Come back and tell me you can find a cheaper postage.

I guess I should suggest premium collectables to start charging extra $30 for premium boxes.

I like to stay with their cheap shipping. Thanks

I think that's a bit of hyperbole. We're talking about the cost of a shipping box which would not add very much to the volumetric weight of the package. Each to their own but I would have thought that if there are enough customers concerned about this then they should at least provide an option to customers willing to pay extra for better packing.

I disagree, you are free to purchase from bbts the only crazy site I know who would charge extra for a box.

Other than that, these guys are very reasonable as they are. You can't have both or there be no business at all.

As you said each to their own, and you might find no joy with this dealer because box are your priorities.

As for volume wise I stand very correct as I do package stuff myself. The shipping is a joke. I can get Hong Kong stuffed shipped to me less than I ship the same thing to nsw

The terms and conditions are there. You are free not to go with them.

Yes that is correct except they put them in a postage bag. I am a collector so when the boxes were dented I was not impressed. And I already ordered big expensive items from them so I am a bit worried that they may get damaged even more.

I agree. My other point is at least they should acknowledge my message rather than just ignore it pretending everything is good.

They might as well call themselves Cheap Collectibles.

That is not the point. If you offer postage of items to your customers you should at least pack it in such a way that the item will not get damaged during the transit. By not doing so kind of shows how much PC cares about their customers when they receive the item. I am not saying that they are bad people but that is something they can improve on. Take as feedback for them. I am not trying to start a troll war.

Raider
1st July 2015, 01:01 PM
I understand the point regarding keeping costs down. As collectors we always want to get items as cheaply as possible but also in minty condition, well at least I know I do!

Perhaps an option to have items posted in a box for a fee could be provided? I must confess I have not read their shipping policy and just assumed that items would be posted in a box. No doubt boxes will add to their cost base and necessitate a price increase but I would not be against a small price bump to increase protection.

I am not saying I need all boxes to be 100% guaranteed to be undamaged whatsoever, I just want to avoid bubble wrap packages I've received in the past with massive puncture wounds. A few damaged edges doesn't bother me.

Actually, if you got down off your high horse for 5 minutes and thought, you can have both. Offer free shipping which as it currently is (which is what I would pick because I don't care about boxes. They just end up in the bin). ANd offer a "premium" shipping option for those that don't want to risk getting a banged up box in the mail.

Which I already suggested when on the grass not on the horse

While at it might as well ask for dhl

So was it a small package that they had it on a post bag? Ive got my MP star saber from them and it was placed in its original shipping box which can hold 2 so it has good space with some crumpled papers. It wasnt damaged a bit when ive got it...

Anyway sometimes however you put protection in parcels and AU post just bang it everywhere it is pointless like my MP bumble with bigger box and still crushed on top of the box :eek:

They did say if you ordered more in starsaber case you get the original cart box.

Yes Aust post isn't the best service and I know it first hand.

Which is why I be suggesting they use dhl or fed ex for other people who are over particular about how their items are shipped.

Mind you, the cost may just end up the same as buying from bbts which defeats all purpose.

Lowest prices in Australia with free shipping! Well in that case I'll have mine delivered via a pegasus and don't forget to wrap it in Egyptian silk so it doesn't get damaged!

Each to their own I'm sure they'll do just fine minus 5 or 6 customers. But I'll say one thing, if your buying from a new company read the terms and conditions before purchasing like I did and won't be disappointed.

And don't forget the red carpet!

This is not directed at anyone in particular but there seems to be a lot of negativety about the Aussie online retailers of late.
I just wanted to say that we as collectors are always looking for the best price item in the condition we want it in, we now finally have multiple Australian distributors for these items and it seems some just want tear strips off them.
Personally I am just happy that we now have these distributors so we don't have to pay horrendous exchange rates for our stuff. Also we need to appreciate that they are happy to interact with us directly and answer our questions on the forum which would never happen with any of the OS companies.
Basically if we want to continue to have these companies getting our 'Bots we need to support them (whichever store is your preference) so that their ordering power becomes greater and the retail price can become lower for us, the buyers.

I look at it as feedback to help them get better. It's their choice whether to take their customers feedback on board. Some people here seem to be soley focussed on getting the absolute best price possible and are happy to sacrifice other things. And there is nothing wrong with that, that is their choice.

Some others like myself see price as important but not the only factor. I also value careful packaging, timely responses to questions directed at their customer service email and the ability to pay with Paypal and/or delay payment on pre orders to close to the release date. In this regard I've found NY in Japan ticking all my boxes and will continue to purchase from them.

Again, each to their own.

Just received my MP10 reissue this morning! so happy. Was wondering if it came with the trailer and it did!

I have not had any major issues with premium and will gladly buy from them again and again. For me I love the lower prices as I like to open them up and play with them. Having a perfect box isnt a big deal for me. premium has tried to pack it even better this time, with plastic protectors on each corner of the MP10 box, but I think the external box was pushed down by the courier and still dented the box.

Perhaps like tfsource, there is an extra charge on mint boxes, premium can charge extra for packaging and delivery for people who want that. I think thats fair enough if a mint box is important.

But i definitely love the free shipping.
thanks again!

Sorry to hear that. Well I just got my Unite Warriors Superion from NY yesterday and I was amazed how well it was packed. I ordered two and they used a larger box, had plenty of bubble wrap plus air bags. Everything was minty. When I got my Star Saber and Exhaust it was packed just as well.

thanks for your comments. We do appreciate feedback, and the issue of the mint box premium is something that we are looking into, To do this we need to negoaite insurances with courier companies so if they are damaged in transit we can honor the mint box gurantee. thank you for raising this and is something we may be able to offer in the future as a premium box upgrade or something like that. thanks
