Barricade is in the house! That was fast...
Sweet bot too!
If you still want to recoup some of that money and haven't found a home for Impactor yet, I'm keen for one!Quote:

I checked the american store also, and theirs stock is "in" so you can order there, or presumably they should get some actual stock again for OZ seeing as now the amazon us one is no longer pre-order and not currently sold out etc.
I'd order one now, but frankly I'll wait until at least ONE aussie gets one in hand fromt he oz store from the current lot, I dont want it cancel again, or ship at a stupid time i cant control seeing as got a big order due end of month from HLJ

Just got an email saying Barricade would arrive on Thursday, and payment got taken out of my account-finally!
It's pretty good considering it's an exclusive in all honestyQuote:

It is sometimes worth browsing the Amazon America listings, to see the occasional items that are made available through Amazon Australia. Sometimes they have insanely huge prices that make no sense (3-4 times the US price), but sometimes they have prices that are a lot less than what it would cost to buy it through Amazon America.
All the ‘Earthrise’ stuff is on Amazon US for preorder too. Useful for linking to the AU site when they become available.
So after whinging on here last week again about my "no Barricade" I put in another order end of last week,
and one turned up just today, which means that I can confirm they actually have some stock this time.
So no "we cannot fulfill this order" like last month. HUZZAH!

Good thing I don't care hahah
My Cromar shipped last night and my Aragon turned up in the mail today.
I guess I need to head to the post office tomorrow to get some quotes together.
Has anyone else received Mirage yet? Last notification was it was here in NSW but there was some delay and that was 2 weeks ago
Arrived yesterday with Impactor. Shipped October 11.Quote:

That's less than half the price of getting it from the places in Japan that had it at full retail of about AU$300.
I think I got it for about $180 when it first appeared on Amazon Australia as domestic stock, and I'm happy enough with that price to not be annoyed about it being cheaper later.
It's worse when you pay more than its retail price because it appears to be limited and you don't want to miss out and have to pay more from a secondary source, and then it shows up somewhere local really cheap.
It's like playing the stock market some times, trying to guess what to buy early or hold out on, hoping for it to be cheaper later and not selling out before you buy it.
Got a shipping notice for my Omega from Amazon.com.au today (due Wednesday)
I'm gambling that there won't be a cheaper option for Siege Ratchet in the future. I just bought one off ebay last night. It's a gamble though, so I know I might get burned.Quote:

Looking at the packaging images of the 3-pack, with the Powerdasher packed in parts in different parts of the box, it is very possible that some boxes got the wrong parts, particularly if the arms and legs look very similar, and those poor people in the factories who are paid peanuts for 16+ hours a day work wouldn't be too concerned (particularly if they aren't assembling the Powerdasher to have a better chance of noticing something is wrong).
all too often this is the case, even with main line release toys that we aren't always sure will be released here.Quote:

How much did you get it for and what's not a rip off price for Ratchet?Quote:

I got one from this ebay seller. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Transfor...73c2%7Ciid%3A1 It should arrive in the next couple of days. Auspost has already had multiple delays getting my Ratchet from where it was posted in Melbourne to me. I'll let you know if there's any issues with the item.Quote:

Woah! That's a heavy hitting price even before shipping!Quote:

For that price going through robotkingdom during its initial outing may have been better, ouch!Quote:

Pretty crappy making ratchet an exclusive. I just don't get the idea behind these decisions, they just serve to frustrate and piss off collectors.
Greenlight and Dazzlestrike are finally available:

Irritating. Already bought mine for 60 odd. Not too bad though. One of those times where I jumped on it not knowing if it would be cheaper later, the way of Transformers exclusives these days.
With the number of units around I'm gambling there WILL be a cheaper option, as eventually those scalper prices will come down after a few months of not selling out. May take 6-12 months, but no way in $^2$2%@ am I paying a hundred for a deluxe. Happily do without.Quote:

Would like to get them, but I've been off work for a month so no dollary-doos to spend sadly.
