Just saw bucketloads of both at a Myer as well, still marked at 49.95. I didn't scan but there's a 20% all toys till Sunday the 12th.

Kinokinya (sp?) in Sydney had the Jetfire/Grimlock pack at nearly $200.
I may really want Grimlock, but I refuse to pay THAT much.

Have they left them in pack, or opened them up? if they want that much for opened figures they are never going to sell them.
Don't they usually open all their TFs?
$200?! What a freakin' ripoff!
thats gota be a huge percentage markup, they probably only paid $50 for it.... god damm myer
I was just wondering if they would open the packaging, see all the twist ties and think to themselves "why bother, we will leave them in the pretty box just this once". :pQuote:

I think the 'exclusive' factor (only released in Asian Hasbro Markets) is an automatic doubling of the price, on principle. Then you got the profit margin, which is a standard doubling, reguardless of the previous step. Most import stores do that though, capitalising on the uninformed who aren't aware of its availability at much cheaper online sources.
Saw a few of those jetfire/grimlock packs whilst in Japan and Singapore. Definately not worth 200!
