Do a search on RK for GDO, not sure what that stands for but that's what they seem to be calling them.
RK had the deluxes a while back but sold out quickly. They had the first 2 voyagers listed last week (Hotspot and Powerdive from memory), but if they're not coming up in a search, they may have sold out too.
From what I could see (trolling around several online retailers over the last couple of weeks), different companies are getting them at different times.
If you luck out, they are apparently going to be released as a TRU exclusive in the states - which means there's a possibility of them appearing here (when is an Asian exclusive not an Asian exclusive?:rolleyes:) or they'll turn up on eBay in greater numbers (and hopefully cheaper prices) in a few months.
ehobbybaseshop.com has the deluxes, but aren't cheap.
They had the Legends too (that's where I got mine from).
Ebay has a couple sets, but are also $120+ (plus shipping). It seems that Wheelie is the popular figure out of the four, as that one is the hardest to find on ebay, and the ones that are, are up to twice the price of the other three.
When it's a "China Import" ;)Quote:

Oh, and Wheelie is pretty common in Singapore? At least some of the fans on the Planet Iacon facebook page gave me that impression.
Wheelie's the only one I need too :/
pretty common in taiwan as wellQuote:

Also, two other small online retails has them for about $120 each - Chimungmung and AcesToyStore. I've dealt with both of them directly or through eBay before and they're alright.
How's their charges for postage Suspectimus? reasonable or a bit steep?Quote:
