Ah, it's FINALLY here.
I was expecting we'd get it within a couple of months of the release of this reissue in Japan (October last year I think).

[griffin]

How much?

I called the store and they said it is $50. :eek:

A combination of ToysRUs price-gouging, and being in a box rather than on a card... so they probably priced it based on the near Voyager sized box, rather than being a Deluxe sized toy that had a Deluxe price in Asia.
(we got the Japanese Stinger here for $30, but it was on a card)

[Ploughmans Lunch]

$10 on clearance maybe.

$50 for a deluxe.... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO L

HLJ price for LG-10 was ¥2,800 ($33 AUD approx) but recently discontinued.

Any other stuff worth mentioning at TRU? :) They were pretty short on TFs last time I was there.

[yoshi594]

well it's around that price on ebay. i think the cheapest was 52 from toy_story_world .

So pricing wise it's not that bad.

Oh TRU you rapscallions! You know i'm only gonna buy this on closeout! Just make it easier on yourself and discount it now!

Maybe if they had gotten the 3 repainted female figures (Nightbird Shadow, Slipstream, and Blackwidow/Blackarachnia) then I'd consider that price.

But not $50 for a slightly difference deco of a figure we got here.

[yoshi594]

I'd pay 50 for a takara legends windblade.

[Bumbleb33]

My jaw just hit the desk, that is ridiculous, I found these everywhere while I was in Singapore not to mention even with shipping you could import these way cheaper!

Finally! I wasn't sure if Hasbro was going ahead with releasing this toy because at the end of last year Hasbro AU contacted me saying that they were unable to secure any samples of this toy (and thus didn't have one to give to me). I ended up buying one off Acesan at PopCon at a far more respectable price of $35. :o

Not entirely 'random' (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=21032). ;)

I pretty much said words to this effect back in 2007 when TRU were selling the G1 coloured Movie Deluxe Jazz for $50~55... but some people told me to shut up and were singing praise about that toy. A lot of people were even scooping it up and it actually did sell at that price. :eek: I wonder where these people are now and whether or not they're flocking to TRU to grab this toy. Cos if they're willing to shell out $50 for a G1 coloured Deluxe Bayformer, then surely it'd be justifiable for those people to do likewise for a G1-accurate redeco of a Classicsverse toy. #wherearetheynow

We got Generations Arcee here?! :confused:
Not denying that it would definitely be cheaper to import either version, but I don't recall the Hasbro version ever being locally released.

I'd say it's random since the other thread you linked states it should have been here like 6 months ago. ;)

Guess I'll be going to tru Aspley sometime soon. Havn't seen the new store inside yet, so there's another excuse.
