Toys aren't just sent out to stores. Each store-chain has to want the product enough to order it. It looks like Kmart were not interested in Metroplex, so didn't order it.Quote:

I dont think I did that bad....:rolleyes:
Incl. shipping it's US$156, which is about AU$175, so we're looking at an approx. difference of $25, so the $200 RRP isn't too bad considering. :) And as you said, you have the advantage of easier refund/exchange options (plus you can rip the toy open as soon as you buy it instead of that excruciating wait that comes with online shopping! :rolleyes:).Quote:

Hmmmm I managed to secure a piece for $105aud. Have not done the shipping cost yet. Might have to bring it back to save on cost.
Hopefully they should have in the next couple of weeks, want to know Big W's price before I order online.Quote:

Once i get email notification of the product being available, I deposit money into that account and pay via Paypal. This works for larger purchases for which i used to get charged a conversion fee.Quote:
