I must admit that this is a really good price, but I still can't justify it for myself. I do hope that this thing happens and that EB ends up selling it though. :)

I was not worried about this before but since EB/Zing have this out and at a very good price, I have ordered one now and hoping this comes through.Quote:

After a lengthy period of ?umm-ing? and ?ah-ing? I finally caved and threw down a preorder for this thing tonight.
Guess now it?s wait and see time for if the 8000 backers are reached.
If not, oh well. I get my deposit back
If so. Well... at least I have till 2021 to save for it/ pay it off/ find a side for it.
It?ll be the most I have ever spent on any one single item. But it?ll be a cool item.
If it weren?t for EB?s $100 deposit and not having to pay till its potential release. I?d probably have just let this thing pass me by. Way too pricy to try throwing down like $1000 from some overseas retailer or something.
Since its so far away, will the exchange rate see the price increase if it falls significantly?
Depends on who you ordered it through. If you have ordered it from an overseas retailer than yes, whatever the current exchange rate is when you are required to pay the outstanding balance is what it will cost you.Quote:

At least that is how I understand it, it may be down to the individual companies terms and conditions.
Trev?s right, preordering an item with an Australian based store locks you into the price at the time. You won?t be jacked a higher price if the AUD tumbles.
Was a def no till EB/Zing pre-order then still on the fence but pre-ordered today
Yeah... I caved... ;)
From the transformers FB page:
So that takes it to about 4500 backers so far, with a week to go.Quote:
