EB Games/Zing Earthrise preorders

Here are a bunch of Earthrise preorders that have popped up on the EB Games website. They are also on the Zing website. Unless you missed a Snapdragon or Doubledealer there's probably nothing worth getting excited over.

Well, I finally caved in and pre-ordered Doubledealer (and Greasepit) from EB. I'd normally go cheaper but hoping even this 1 transaction means they'll consider getting more waves in.

Thanks, been looking for an earthrise Optimus, haven't had any luck scouting around stores.

yeah once I get paid tomorrow I'm definitely picking up Snapdragon from here (maybe one of the Selects I initially didnt go for too) to help support this in future

Really? At the Big W I work at Optimus is shelf warming and Astrotrain and Doubledealer sold out. Maybe people here all ordered their Optimus's online earlier in the year ¯\_(?)_/¯.

Miranda bigw I couldn't find any, I saw double dealer though. Tried all the kmarts/myer around Sutherland area too, no luck.

Plenty of Astrotrains at Myer Miranda. Maybe stores aren't getting an even allocation of leader class stock.

I just got a call from my local EB Games. My Snapdragon has come in.

I pre-ordered Snapdragon and Rotorstorm. But ill see if I can move the Rotorstorm deposit onto Snapdragon

G2 Megatron preorder as well.

A licensed Optimus Prime helmet is up on EB Games, by a company called Modern Icons.

It appears to be very similar to the Voice-changer Optimus Helmets that Hasbro did, with sounds and voice clips, but with light up eyes.

• Premium collectible wearable helmet inspired by Optimus Prime from Transformers.
• Electronic collectible helmet with LED light-up eyes and authentic Optimus Prime voice phrases and sounds.
• Push-button activation.
• Detailed paint and battle damage for a real world feel
• This fully wearable helmet comes with adjustable straps for best fit for most adult head sizes
• Detailed interior sculpting and design.

It requires 3 AA batteries.

It is a hefty $240, with $50 deposit... out in September.


(the materials must be of significant quality, yet still light enough to wear, to be that expensive... I mean, in person it might end up looking less "kiddie-plastic" than the Hasbro ones, but I can't see it needing to be over double the price, when the concept and technology has been out now since 2007)
