Sadly the scalpers are having a field day, as most of the ones I saw last night have been sold and dissapeared (leaving a lot of Takara ones unsold). The only ones left are those that are either open to bids or ones like this hideously expensive one for over $300! :eek:

Can anyone honestly say that one of us true fans from Oz didn't deserve to get this figure more than this price-gouging sod!?!




Apparently SW will be hitting Canadian TRU's soon. Already checked and they only ship domestically. However if you have a Canadian mate you might be in with a chance. I've got one but he's only ever been a remote FB friend so not holding out much hope myself.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad::mad::mad::mad:

TRU online has given a big middle finger to their international customers and a big thumbs up to the scalpers as far as I'm concerned :mad:

I'd just like to know the exact reason for not allowing international shipping.

If was something as simple as it wasn't set up with iParcel due to its early morning release like someone else i saw theorize then that is really disappointing

I'd suggest it's because it's definitely going to be available here and being how they've previously been stung on MP Ghost Starscream TRU is probably shy of being stuck with 50% of their stock of an expensive item not selling. as such they are not selling internationally, avoiding undercutting their international counterparts.

that's my guess.

people that are spending upwards of $300 for MP soundwave on eBay today have more money than sense and don't deserve to keep their money. There will be store release of these in the states, and also here in Australia (as far as anyone knows) there is quite a mania going on about this at the moment. :rolleyes:

Can't imagine why they had difficulty moving them at $249.99 when they were first released :rolleyes:

For the love of primus I hope you are right.

Yeah this was going to be my plan B if i dont manage to pick up the SW when it comes here

It really sucks that the scappers got what seems like all of the MP Soundwaves :(

Does anyone know when it is supposed to be released here? November/December?
