$110 is exactly what I paid to get him from Robot Kingdom.

If you pre-order online can you choose a store to pick up from or is it just delivery?

[Krayt]

Can choose a store, and once store is chosen, you can make payments instore while waiting for release.

If you do delivery, you just wait and get charged when it's ready

Went instore to Zing today and was asked if I wanted to preorder anything new. I asked what I could preorder, they mentioned Super Megatron so I did.

[Seraphim Prime]

Pre-ordered!

My experience with the pre-order system for the Seacons has been really good, and have just had a call about Lio Convoy (which I will pick up next weekend).

A $30 deposit and a competitive price is hard to turn down!

[griffin]

Considering that this is a limited edition toy that is almost as big as the Leader Class POTP Optimus or Star Convoy toy... AND the recent big drop in the value of the Australian Dollar, I think $110 is pretty good IMO (if picking up in-store, which means no extra for shipping).

It may have a small amount of Voyager Galvatron's parts, but the majority of the toy is new, and has a lot of extra parts on it to bulk it up to almost Leader sized.

^ Megatron looks like a KO of a bootleg LEGO figure.

[TaZZerath]

After being out of the purchasing game for a while, and missing out on so many 'weird and wonderful' figures before, I just couldn't help myself :)

[VERT]

Well I preordered him. Paid. Now I get a call they stupidly put it in as a layby and did not order it. So unless they find an extra. I'm not getting it. So much for a preorder.

Daaaaaaaaamn dude :(

[VERT]

Yeah I'm kinda pissed off. Oh sorry nothing we can do.

[Krayt]

Did you only talk to store staff? or Cust Service?

[nalops]

Ohmyprimus still have their preorder up and it'll be around the same price with shipping. Less convenient but still an option.

OMP are less likely to have delays as well. It might take a month to get here due to COVID-19, but you'll at least see it moving through the tracking.

[VERT]

Thanks I will have a look. Yeah they said nothing we can do.

[VERT]

Thanks nalops I just ordered him. Going back to eb tomorrow to get my money back and rip them a new one. :)

No worries. Glad to help. I should probably check my pre-order with Zing went through as well.

[Bumblebee2000]

I only ordered online because I was avoiding going out at all at the time, terrible that they've messed it up but guess I shouldn't be surprised. I lost a limited edition Zelda game (got it elsewhere thankfully) because they make mistakes with the pre-orders they ask you to put in every time.

[nalops]

Super Megatron is back on the Zing website for pre-order. Home delivery only though. Same with MP Spin-out.

[Megabattimus]

Anyone been charged for Super Megatron yet?

[SMHFConvoy]

Mine got processed waaay back when I placed my pre-order.

Given the usual lag between Hasbro Asia to Hasbro Australia to EB Games I wouldn't expect EB Games to have them in hand for a while yet. He only just came out in Asia yesterday.

[nalops]

I was told by my friend who works at Zing on Thursday that I shouldn't expect any Transformers until next month which includes Super Megatron and Maverick.

[Megabattimus]

Ah okay, that's alright!

[Firestorm]

My super Megatron has changed form ?Pending Release? to ?Processed? on my account on the website Either today or yesterday.
Haven?t heard anything from them about it though

[SMHFConvoy]

Might be possibly in this week, maybe then.

Well the date hasn't changed for release, people in the UK are starting to receive theirs so fingers crossed.

[The Letter M]

Well the date hasn't changed for release, people in the UK are starting to receive theirs so fingers crossed.

The date has moved to 20/10.

[Firestorm]

My order has changed back from ?Processed? to ?pending release?

[SMHFConvoy]

The date has moved to 20/10.

Mine's still showing 29th, and has been processed. So I dunno.

[SMHFConvoy]

Mine's still showing 29th, and has been processed. So I dunno.

So it's still showing the old drop date on my order, raised it with EB and it's tentative for mid October release but I won't be surprised if it gets pushed back again.

[nalops]

Went to Zing today. Still no Super Megatron or Maverick. Hopefully soon.

[VERT]

Well since Zing totally stuffed my pre order. I got my one from Oh my Primus. He arrived yesterday. Awesome he is.

[Krayt]

Damn VERT that was quick.... my OMP stuff seems to languish in AusPost

[VERT]

Yeah I'm happy with them for first order. Just hope the coneheads get sent out as fast.

[Krayt]

You got cone heads? They got short delivered and cancelled a heap of orders...

[Cashie]

The release date is now the 6th of November.

[SMHFConvoy]

Anyone gotten their Super Megatron yet or has it been rolled back again?

[nalops]

26th according to the person I just asked at Zing

[VERT]

Kraft no luck they canceled my Coneheads and Prowl and Ironhide yesterday. They were paid in full too

[SMHFConvoy]

I placed a pre-order with OMP for G2 Sandstorm, first time using them and if they cancel an order do they refund you?

[VERT]

Yes I got a refund for OMP

[SMHFConvoy]

Yes I got a refund for OMP

Thanks, was concerned that I'd wind up with a gift voucher.

[SMHFConvoy]

So... Has it been pushed back again?

[SMHFConvoy]

So... Has it been pushed back again?

Now the 15th of December

[SMHFConvoy]

Got the call that Super Megatron is in, picking him up tomorrow.
