Netflix Generations toys for Kmart and Sky Lynx for BigW

[griffin]

Thanks to Hasbro Australia, we are allowed to share with our fellow Australian Transformers fans, that the Netflix Generations toys that are going to be at Walmart in America this April will be at Kmart in Australia from June (for wave 1), and then the second wave will be during the second half of the year.

We also have some news we are allowed to share about the two big beasts of Earthrise - Skylynx will be released FIRST at BigW for their June Toy Sale, and Scorponok will be released here at any retailer that wants it, at around October.

Join us again tomorrow for more news, from the first day of the Australian Toy & Hobby Fair in Melbourne, as we should have some images of the Transformers display, some more toy news, and... how about two brand new Generations Earthrise reveals.
Midday tomorrow.

Just a reminder of two of the Netfllix toys...

Sky Lynx for Toy Sale? Awesome!!!

[llamatron]

Great news, will probably be enough to convince me on Sky Lynx.

[Sol_Bad]

Is there pricing for Scorponok and Skylynx?

[griffin]

Still too early for retailers to have pricing here.
If the US RRPs are the same as last year's, then expect something similar here.

Probably the same retail, Mighty Ape either end up slightly cheaper or slightly more expensive but they have them both for about the same price both places had Jetfire and Omega Supreme.

I'll also note they charged closer to $200 for Jetfire last year before anyone else was selling it but Omega was on point.

Considering I got my jetfire from rk this is still a bargain for me, especially if the shipping prices are correct.

But scorponok I'm torn on considering toyworld prices for omega were far cheaper (jumped the gun, thanks amazon!) and scorponok is (from my guesstimates) a retool/borrowed engineering so he wouldn't be as big as metroplex thus this seems a tad high (and even then big w charged a bit much for fortmax at the time).

How are they with order cancelling, might click sky lynx as a backup incase I can't be bothered running in during the toy sale, scorponok is a "wait and see" case

I haven't pre-ordered with Mightyape. Do they want the $$$ upfront or just a deposit?

Upfront. It’s fairly easy to cancel items too. I have all my Earthrise stuff on preorder with Mighty Ape atm.

I can pre-order Scorponok for about $235aud from a guy in the Philippines. He has it for pre-order for 7800peso.I just have no idea what shipping will cost as he has never shipped overseas.
Are we positive that Scorponok will be over $300 locally?

[Sinnertwin]

Zaavi.com.au has the spoiler box set for $114.
Never heard of them before.

Here's hoping Sky Lynx is easy enough to be found for the Big W Toy Sale!

I haven't cancelled before but their customer service has been quite good. They even partly price-matched UW Bruticus with a sold out Premium Collectables listing back when I and most people still got their stuff.

If you pay by card they don't charge until they ship and they will adjust if the price goes down. I preordered some Marvel Legends and Siege from them last year and it worked like this. Think it's different with Paypal

They've been around for ages. Mostly sales of movies, games, etc it all comes from the UK though.

Pretty sure you can guarantee it will be more than $65 for airmail shipping, due to the oversized box. Most carriers charge cubic weight (either physical weight, or volume size, and whichever of those is the more expensive). Past experience for Titan class releases are that you can get much cheaper prices overseas than Australian retail but pay more for it due to shipping costs.

As always shop around, and there will be a range of Australian and overseas retailers selling it come October

Shipping from there isn't the best choice, just saying, shipping kills any kind of saving unless you go there for a holiday and lug it home with you

Used to use them but I used the original UK site, were quite good to me if pricey because currency at the time, never used their aus site but I'm sure its fine

Ah good, thank you

[Batfan007]

with current prices and taxes / currency conversion average price for shipping a Scorponok (from outside of OZ) is closer to $100 AUD.

Because of the pricey shipping, I ordered these two together from amazon USA the price for both toys (shipped) works out pretty similar to just our OZ RRP.

Netflix toys were spotted in NSW today (according to a FB post)

WA too.

Netflix Megatron would have been perfect if it didn't have the scratchy chest. The Earthrise version would have sufficed if it didn't have splotchy legs - I was happy to overlook his monobrow too... Maybe the next repaint of him will be the one.

I saw (most) of the Netflix toys in Hurstville - Hotlink was sold out already!

I feel exactly the same. None quite hit that mark for me.
I'd prefer the Earthrise mould in the silver Netflix deco.
