I won't be surprise how expensive it will be compared to their original release.
Now, what actually puts me off is how much Hasbro HK has marked up the price on their end with their initial reissue at US$169.90 and the Asia Exclusive which was just a bloody white box ended up at $300.
Especially they are all China made, it is really bad to see a big price difference.
Well, finally got confirmation that Grim has been shipped from TRU.
Anyone else had theirs shipped/received as yet? If so, how long approx did it take to get to you?
Mine was shipped on the 29/5. Still don't have it but should be any day now according to the tracking.Quote:

Very well packed. Stupid instructions only have 'changing to robot' but he is already in robot mode!:mad: if you are not familiar with its transformation, it is a nightmare. Just spent the past hour on YouTube.:mad:
But he is well worth it! ...Beautiful!:D

how's the quality of it? I might not open mine as I already own and display the original toys R us release of GrimlockQuote:

Using Google Chrome on a Mac, it appears to have processed the payment (via iParcel) yet not sent me through to the Toys R Us website afterwards to finish creating the order (I still have the item in my cart).
So, it's allocated funds on my credit card, and not created the order through the Toys R Us website.
Any suggestions on a browser that actually works on that damn site? Any time I've ordered, it's been a complete clusterf***.
Tried in Firefox. Twice. Apparently my credit card details are incorrect (not true).
Trying to pay via PayPal results in being told that they don't offer international shipping.
Seriously, what the hell am I doing wrong? Ugh.
Answer :)Quote:

The box size is very similar to Soundwave, I am thinking TRU Australia will sell it at previous Soundwave price. Can't believe why Takara Tomy's one is so much bigger.
My box is in perfect condition. Overall a good purchase.
No, I did that.Quote:

Sorry Millhouse. Don't know what to suggest to you.
Did Omega/drifand use I-parcel like Millhouse?
Try dialing the customer service #?Quote:

International shipping wouldn't work on Chrome on my Ipad though. Had to shift to a regular PC with firefox. Still had a bug since I couldn't sign up correctly after the purchase.
Got the email around 4pm yesterday but the link didn't work until I checked around 7pm or so.Quote:

I missed it last time so I took the risk and ordered it this time.
I-Parcel is just the default choice I think.Quote:

I actually hesitated, as I was thinking Australia will have it then it occurred to me that is even cheaper than a KO Grimlock out there delivered.Quote:

I-parcel is just a contract 3rd-party company that takes the orders, grabs the stock if it is still available (due to time delay, since they aren't TRU), and ships the stock... for a commission.
As such, they are impossible to contact or query about missing/out-of-stock items.
If MP Grimlock is now not working, perhaps they removed it's international-shipping status, to protect their sister TRU stores who are charging a lot more.
Could anyone please advise what platform (Windows/Mac) and which browser(s) they have successfully placed an order with Toys R Us on?
at the checkout where you see your cart, there should be an american flag. click on it to change it to australiaQuote:

Ur yes, but the link was removed long ago, I think it lasted less than one day after the link was posted.Quote:
