I was wondering why I couldn't find these when I did my search yesterday, and when I click on those links, both of those *toys* are listed in "Home Hifi" on Amazon Australia.Quote:

Maybe they ran out and haven't decided what to do yet.

Did anyone actually get charged and receive their Frenzy? I noticed that JB is not getting theirs until December, so I guess that would be true for Amazon too then.
SS86 Commander Ultra Magnus is on sale - $138.33 from Amazon UK or $142.22 via Amazon AU. Also a few "Like New" with damaged packaging (~$130-135) from Amazon AU Warehouse.
SS Mohawk and Predacon Scorponok are #1 and #2 in Home Audio Blank Media. Lolz.Quote:

SS109 Concept Art Megatron $99.99, releasing 1/2/24. Currently "#1 Best Seller in Radio Communication Accessories" ;).
It's certainly a clever way to get Transformers into the number 1 spot, by listing them in strange categories.
It just leaves (blue) Rumble left of this wave to be listed somewhere.
Also... my Ratchet arrived yesterday, as it was shipped Friday night. It was accompanied by an email from Amazon apologizing for the delay.
They also used the American dating system, despite being an email from Amazon *Australia*....
...which in Australia, means that they intended to have the item delivered on March 11th.Quote:
We intended to deliver your order 140-6043011-6766290 on 11/3/2023
I got a curious email from Amazon. Tigerhawk is apparently releasing on the 18th of December. Personally, I'll believe it when I have Tigerhawk in hand.
So Nacelle is currently $46 from Amazon US. Been holding onto my Amazon AU preorder because they were not worth ~70 to me but it is now cheaper than that preorder I have been holding on to so
Long as you have Prime for free shipping or spend enough on other stuff.

Well now, isn't that interesting.
My old order, still due in October, was $56.99 in all. I've just placed a new order on the item above, for a grand total of $63.11, including $17 postage from the US.
I figured it might have been another bit of Amazon bullshit, but no, when I check on Amazon US they actually have stock. And also had I purchased directly from Amazon US it would have cost $93...
We'll see how it turns out - normally placing an order results in an instant charge to my credit card, but I don't see that yet.
Instant. That would be nice. I tent to get charged anywhere between when I click order and when it actually ships. I hate all the inconsistencies of Amazon.Quote:

Amazon charged me for Nacelle this afternoon (new order, not old order :)). With luck, that means it'll actually be on its way from USia shortly...
My Nacelle arrived from Amazon US, but the plastic is…… sticky….. or maybe tacky? I don’t know how to describe it, and presume it is a QC issue that resulted in so many being cancelled. I don’t know whether there’s something I can do to clean it, but it is not a nice texture/feel. Maybe the plant used substandard plastic?
So for me it’s going to be a ‘look but don’t touch’ toy. I’m hoping they do a Nacelle with the Earth version of Thrust mold. That, to me, is the real Nacelle.
Ooo, Bulkhead was tempting much as I spent a lot of thinking at release I would only get one and went for the plain green deco. Sold atm though
However clicking on that did show me both Wrecker 2 packs are $53.25. Nice price if you want both deluxes, picked those up at release
Leadfoot Masterdominus
Impactor Spindle
Just had my SS BB Megatron and SS ROTB Wheeljack cancelled because of no stock :/
Same! Just went and ordered it at the GamesmenQuote:

Missing Link will be available directly through Amazon AU. Same prices as JB Hi-Fi but with free delivery, and more expensive than Asia, but Asian stocks are dwindling. Amazon JP still has stock but their price went up several days after release - C-01 is still a bit cheaper and C-02 is about the same as Amazon AU.
Missing Link C-01 $224, 1/4/24 release.
Missing Link C-02 $139, 1/4/24 release.
I got both Missing Link C-01 and C-02 for $280 from Amazon Japan (including delivery). Compared to JB HiFi/ Amazon Au at $363Quote:

(Almost double what preordering it from Amazon.Co.Jp cost me)
Has anyone had any luck finding Not-Breakdown and Windsweeper?Quote:

This could be the other 2-pack
TRA GEN Smile 2 Pack 2
https://www.amazon.com.au/Transforme...dp/B0CJJ2XR9T/
The description is not particularly helpful, but the ETA fits
Highly likely - the listings for these things were originally "Tra Gen Smile 2 pack".
I've ordered one :)

Already gone (definite mistake but not used to it getting jumped on quite fast)
Yeah, I don't think it even lasted an hour after I posted it, it'll probably be back tomorrow after the Stream that's happening overnight
So $400 later...
mmm
Can only budget one myself, at least currently. Also like it being its own character
But they look real cool together
Damn $100, might wait for a sale
The melee weapons would be great with nightbird hope they get reused down the line
