I should be able to get one from either Singapore or the states when in August.

I'm pretty sure it's $s200 in Singapore, $us100 in the U.S.

Not to step on any toes, but if you are interested in this set and don't want to burden fatbot on his trip... the Velocitron set has just popped up on Amazon (http://a.co/061KqFi) (sold by Amazon) for US$100 plus US$25 for shipping (for one).

I ordered two (one for me and one for a friend) and it came to AU$338... which is AU$170 each (the same price as in HK without shipping), and 15% less than the price it would be in Australia if ToysRUs ends up selling it here.

This unexpected, as it is supposed to be a TRU exclusive in America like everywhere else, so Amazon shouldn't be able to sell it.

It doesn't get released until June 17th (3 days time), so it will be interesting to see what happens on that date. (at least with Amazon it's not too much to worry about, because if it was a mistaken listing, or it wasn't meant to be available to export, they will refund the money quickly and easily - this could just be an option to try out first, and if it doesn't end up working, then fall back on fatbot's help)

Sorry... looks like it might have sold out already. But keep it bookmarked, and check back each day until the 17th, as they might get more stock in for its release.
