How much is shipping? Sounds ok if it's less than retail here. :cool:Quote:

Might work out cheaper to wait until TRU get it locally .... but I'm not convinced enough to risk my local TRU getting many anyway ;-)
On BBTS site, this set shipping to Australia is USPS Air Mail $36.99USD so $99USD+36.99USD = $150AUD
Same crap, not even cheap, still can get the Bruticus around $99 and Grimlock around $50.
Depends on if you want the FOC colours for Bruticus, or the puke-worthy G2 colour scheme. Personally, I don't think it's bad value, all things considered. The FOC colours don't appeal to me, and the G2 colours looked awful to me even as a 10-or-so year old.Quote:

G2 colours are fantastic. Retail version looked like it fell face first out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down ;)Quote:

As much as it looks nice, do I really need another Bruticus? I already own 3 versions. And theprice is a bit too steep for me. Maybe if I see it cheaper, maybe half that price in stores I might bite. Not bad for people who don't own either.
I just managed to kill my retail-coloured Bruticus while attempting to paint it up into game-accurate colours, so the timing on this is pretty sweet for my needs :)
I got one of the platinum grimlocks off eBay and was afraid it could of been a KO but it appears to be legit. The gold to me is very gold.. A little too gold for my liking I may dull it down a little but hey it was $15
RK have him listed for $109.9O US. ($126.26 AUD)
