Thought I'd add a generic title for this thread so that others can be added as global sightings are found.

Not too surprising, as a November release date indicates the month that they hope to have an item in most stores, and as such start shipping stuff out to stores in the weeks leading up to it. Or if there isn't a specific release date that stores can't sell them before, Hasbro will just send out stock as soon as it arrives from China, early or late.
Our release date is late November, but we could effectively see them in stores here anytime from now.
Given it's $69.99 over there (ouch, Hasbro :(), can I expect our price to be in the several billion Australian dollars?
Yea, even the first posters there were baulking at the price. :)
I'd expect no less than $150AUD. Well, maybe one cent less.
...even current after-market prices for Encore Convoy are much cheaper than that. (example). IMO Encore Convoy represents better value for money.
Value for money depends on how much Hasbro AU charges for this set, because you're still paying for a sh*tload in air mail to get Encore Convoy from that auction there.
...Okay, even if this represents an opportunity to own a slice of G1, I think I'll pass if the AU price is [Vegeta] OVER $9000. [/Vegeta]
It will be interesting to see the AU price for this but I still want it!
Maybe it wont be as expensive as everyone is dreading it will be, they might have learnt there lesson as far as the really expensive transformers go and will keep the price low like they did with animated roll out optimus prime. I keep my fingers crossed
How can they charge so much for Optimus Prime, i mean come on the mould is the same the paint is the same....
Does it cost heaps to neuter his stacks does it???
