Hey guys,
Not sure if anyone has notice but there's new items at www.fishpond.com.au including skyhammer and shockwave.
And I ordered them both for under $35 including postage
HOLY MOLY! Bought!
Y U SO CHEAP FISHPOND!?!
I have no idea where Fishpond pulls its prices from, particularly since toys of the same price point can vary in price by up to fifty dollars and it seems they can go up or down during the course of the day. In this case they have it so wrong that I suspect we may be hearing they're unable to fulfil our preorders.
Yeah I get that feeling too. But hopefully they just turn up in the mail in a week or so. I'll keep an eye on the tracking :-D It's lucky I have nothing better to do than check websites 20times each day. LOL
I BOUGHT 2 OF EACH! and paid for that 'instock fast shipping' for $2-3
Sadly I expect an email from them saying it was a pricing error like they did when i wanted to buy this Lego set which was 60+% off.
BUT hopefully the Pre-Order Price guarantee thingy stops them from doing that.
otherwise thanks for the tip heretic!
soooo...should I go ahead and buy this then or not? :confused:
Meh...I bought it anyway :P thanx heretic!
No problem guys. At a price like that how could I not share! I considered buying lots and then selling them on eBay but I didn't wanna be greedy... I sure did think hard about doing it though. I guess my love of transformers won over my love of money.
Thank You Mr theheretic, processed my order :D
I suspect their pricing may be calculated based on stock levels eg when they have lots of piece the price is low, as they move pieces their prices go up, makes sense really.
But in reality all I know is Shockwave and Skyhammer for $37.98 hell yeah!
That, and I no longer have to worry about spending money on the DOTM toyline! Yay!Quote:

The only thing that is certain is, i will go ape shit at them if my order gets rejected! :D

OMG SO CHEAP! Everyone better buy them quick before I'm tempted to buy more...Quote:
The following items have arrived and are now ready for dispatch:
* Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager Skyhammer
* Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave
yeah dude i think we all will! i dont want my money back...give us our toys!!
u already got an email kaiden? wth? where's my email?? I only bought mine 10 mins later than you did...if i dont get an email in 10 mins i'm gonna freak...!
holy crap! thanks so much for posting this. I just bought Skyhammer for $20 (free postage).
Never even heard of this site before either.
In my haste, I missed the "fast shipping" option.
big shout out to theheretic for the find and for sharing.
Cheers mate. :D
:eek: Wow!
Despite having both Shockwave and Skyhammer already, I'm tempted to buy a crap load of spares just because they're cheap! :p
**EDIT - Didn't order a crap load, just two of each to keep as spares. Now to see whether they get delivered. :rolleyes:**
price just changed to 19.99 (changed while typing my details) - ordered 1 of each.
Thanks heretic for the tip.
Bought 1 of each :)
Cheers heretic. Got one of each, how could I not with those prices. I think we have given them a fair bit of business :D.
Another email from fishpond
damn it - i ordered 2 of each and they only send me 1?!?! but at least they're honouring the price :)Quote:
Hooray! Today we sent you:
Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager Skyhammer x1
We anticipate delivery Australian Post mail, between Monday and Thursday next week
This is an automated email. Please do not reply.
Hmm... this doesn't bode well (I half expected it anyway) so will just wait and see what sort of response I get for my order (2 of each also).Quote:

Can anybody translate this legal jargon for me? :P
EDIT: Skyhammer is still on the order, I still can't figure out what is happening in this email though... :/
