Mt Druitt, Penrith and Stanhope are no better either. :(

Now in New Zealand as well, though not locally for $40.
Come on boxing day sales.

SE OP, is actually a step back (in terms of paint applications on the legs):

The new one is seriously lacking the silver + gun metal paints found on the old one... :p

I don't miss the yellow on forehead or the white circles on knees though. :D

Hmmm... SE OP does look pretty sweet! I love the design (in 'Bot mode only of course :p) and the new paint looks great!

Managed to get my SE Prime and Megs from Toyworld for $30.00 a piece. I quite like prime in bot form- not keen on his alt mode really. Havent had a chance to examine Megs close up yet.

kyle...swap the legs around...*haha*

So if Kmart have another %-off toy sale after Christmas, they could be close to $30 each. If any are left after the last minute Chrissy toy shopping...

why is the retail price quoted by Hasbro at $34.99 different to what TRU $40.00 /Kmart $38.00 are charging us?

I saw some a Kmart but at $38 there still pretty meh for a soso repaint, I'd rather wait and hope for a sale, or save the money to pay of a Henkei.

I think, at least for K-mart, it is so they can reduce the price down through sales like they do in general.

For TRU it is probably just because they want to rip us off
lol
