Will I still may import mine. But if I can get another one local for $150 or less. I might get another for my will be 6 year old son for X Mas. He really would love a giant Bot playset like Metroplex.

Locally looks like the way to go. To get it shipped from RK for instance it'll cost $203.95 USD, shipping alone is $73 USD or $223 AUD (PayPal) total.Quote:

Well, well well. That looks interesting all right. Still think it's a shame that they haven't improved the modes all that much given the advance in technologuy available today. I still think G1's city mode looks nicer than Gen's city mode.
So I found this figure is retailing for $179 on Amazon. If we get it here and Myer sells it for $190. Certainly better, as I don't think shipping for the toy will be cheap considering how bulky it is.
Stickers are probably just a necessary evil, allowing them to keep the cost of the toy down with minimal paint apps, but still giving people the option of having all the extra "paint" detailing that a toy this big needs to prevent it looking like a big boring white toy.
