Also Toys R US doesn't allow you to pay in USD so they are essentially making extra money through the exchange rate. Oh well no qualms unless the toy is cheaper here :o.
Cheers omega for the heads up :)
Well, even if it arrives here at $100, which I don't think it will (more like $150), it's only $20 more.......and I know I will get one.Quote:

That's what i thought too. Is that the online price? Diff than store price?Quote:

It's supposed to be $130 here, but a sale at its release might bring it down $20-30.Quote:

Looks at my mp8 and looks at TRU, damn.....that's two grimlocks in both modes in my display case.
Has anyone confirmed this piece has the claws backwards?
I just went to order him and it say "no international shipping" :confused:
pretty sure you needed to click on one of the options saying Australia firstQuote:

Done and done, order in! Looking forward to this fella next to the original TRU release in my cabinet!
Now to make enough room in my cabinet... :(
Just be prepared guys for some box damage, seeing as how some people ordered soundwave/acidstorm locally last year ended up with some really bad boxes. I'm just going to hold back and pick it up here locally.
No more online orders. Was just moving to my PC since my ipad isn't supported for international orders and it's gone.
not much different then boxes being tied with the electronic device on the shelf as well. But I think there are a few who don't really care about the box.Quote:

I think it is a good buy for anyone who bought it. When you compare to the Takara Tomy one is doubled the price delivered to your door step.
Of course, there is a 50/50 chance it may be sold cheaper here in Aus, but is a very slim chance.
Then again, what are the differences between this version and the Asian version? All I can see obviously is the foot claw is backwards.
His claws look to be the right way around, Drifand. Two on top & one on the bottom

Are there any main differences? Sorry I just can't tell if there was any.Quote:

Older box pics was opposite
Hi Griffin, is the $130 price figure from Toys R Us?Quote:

Hmm, can't find it on the site. Anyone got a new link?
Is gone, no more links.Quote:

They limited it to one per customer. A limit was a great idea to limit scalping, but a limit of 2 would have helped people long-distance pair up with someone to save a little on shipping.Quote:

That is said to be the TRU price here. One-off items can't be compared to other one-off items when it comes to pricing... especially store exclusive items.Quote:

It is $59.95 in store though, not sure why the online price is $20 more...Quote:

Please remember that prices are an invitation for consumers to accept and purchase it has nothing to do with an agreement that they broke any contract.
RRP = recommended retail price and not a must follow guide.
One can say "you are a fool, to buy it" but if it turns out to be cheaper than Aust prices, then I don't think it was a bad purchase.
I will even think anything below $150 mark is a good price if you want to compare the Asian Grimlock release and still whinge about prices.
IMO anyone who order those yesterday are at least rest assured in some way and not needing to worry about it over here. For $120 delivered, you can hardly go badly wrong in honesty.
Providing they complete THEIR end of the deal and actually ship it out. Kinda thinking they are going to cancel my order.Quote:

If anyone is interested in the dagger, it's 79.99 at good ol' amazon :)
Well...no harm done, you tried. They did said that they will only charge your credit card when they ship out the order.Quote:

Your logic is impeccable I am unable to provide a rebuttal. :pQuote:

I tried to order it online last night, but my payment wasn't finishing and hung at the credit card window. The first time it asked for a code that was sent to my mobile and then it froze after submitting the code. I assumed it didn't go through, so I tried many more times after but I didn't get as far as inputting the mobile code.
But I just received an e-mail reporting that it's been shipped. Hopefully I bought just the one and didn't order 5-10 more from my further attempts!
Mines been shipped also. I was a bit concerned it wasn't gonna happen.:)
