Does anybody know where I can get one? At one store I asked them about shipping, they fobbed me off (saying I needed to fill in all of my details in the cart) and then JACKED UP THE PRICE.

Damn, I just had a look online and they're far and few between now... and the prices have all been jacked up! :eek:Quote:

I think that due to the Hot Head upgrade - All Hardheads are now jacked up in price.Quote:

I'd like to ask why Hasbro AU offered OR Toy R Us Australia decided to purchase 50 billion Universe Ultra Class Predacon Bruticuses and not Hardhead (and G1 deco Powerglide, I suppose)? HAHA NOW YOUR STORES ARE CLOGGED WITH STUFF YOU WILL NEVER MOVE.
Angry.
AFAIK, Predacon Bruticus was a mass release shelf warmer overseas... and is now shelf warming as an exclusive for TRU here in Oz. :DQuote:

Whereas, Hardhead, G1 deco Powerglide (and fellow case-mate, Skyfall) were exclusives only available through Walmart in the US and no other official retail sources.
Because some 60 year old who can't even remember his own childhood is the one who decides what would be appealing to kids and makes the stock orders from Hasbro.Quote:

I had a quick look on Amazon: found one for $40us but shipping wasn't revealed until the very last stage of checkout... us$60Quote:

Okay, this is officially ridiculous now. One shop I checked out had the shipping calculated at EIGHTY THREE DOLLARS. And eBay prices are going THROUGH THE ROOF.
I can afford it (in theory), but is it worth all this money and trouble for a mold I already own? (mostly getting it because Hardhead was one of my toys as a child, that and I want to see what the Hothead upgrade looks like).
