Saying that when it did made it to the shelves they forgot to put aside for the reserves

I recall the lay by but no guarantee

The whole purpose of the catalogue is to show people is available now from this date. Not pending to be delivered. A lot of unnecessary calls.

really just want to see this in person because i really havent seen one ;)

or my UW may just come earlier so i wont need to bother anyway...

$198.

Since that was a special price organised with Hasbro to get them in store first, and the other stores charging a "regular" $300, I want to see what BigW are charging this time.

Little late, isnt it?
Between FB sellers for $195-$220, Toymate/Toyworld's selling the SDCC version, eBay selling the SDCC version for $250 delivered & the upcoming UW04 release, I don't see that much interest for him

I think it will still do well if it's at $198 again, as there were quite a few here who still want one, and would prefer the cheaper domestic option (particularly if a replacement or refund is required on such a large expensive item).

i was in brisbane a couple of weeks ago and the toy world kinda place in the queens st mall had about 5 of the SDCC versions. didn't see the price though.

The SDCC versions are too flashy and a few people may not like it.
Personally I am okay with the Hasbro one if you have not been able to get a UW version cheap. I was going to skip the UW version as I was in the mindset that it was going to be above $50 extra which it is now. It just happened that PC gave such a low price, it was hard not to say no just because we were speculating elbow joints could be a form of weakness.

Bigw imo should have got this prepared and launched this week than 17th.
but there is a saying, better late than never.
