I'm not sure why why they still haven't listed it yet at EB Games...

It almost feels like they're not allowed to put it up for pre-order and it'll just show up in stores October 1st. Could be wrong but haven't seen any US sites list it for pre-order except the limited edition Walmart one.
F*kn getting all weirded out that some scalper scum had bought them all. Normally I wouldn't blink but I'm ordering one for a friend too.
Perhaps not allowed while walmart are selling theirs. Make sure walmart sell all their stock.
Looking online, it appears that Gigawatt hasn't been officially "released" for pre-order yet anywhere.
If any online store has it listed, it is just speculative based on what the Walmart edition cost, to lock in people before they see it elsewhere... as we still don't have an official box image of the regular edition released by Hasbro yet.
I'm not sure what the wait is for, as it is expected to be released at around the same time as the other crossover toy Maverick.
(It would be good if it wasn't yet produced, and it was being delayed for them to rework that horrible windshield, due to the backlash over how it looked.)
Best that ordering starts in October because we're in stage 4 lockdown here in Victoria.
Have there been any recent updates about this? Its only a few weeks from its release date, but I haven't seen any pre-orders go live here in Aus yet?
I'm pretty sure there's no preorder for it. Even the US hasn't seen anything in regards to preordering apart from the special edition. It very much seems like it'll just be available to buy from October 1st.
Post #9 is still currently applicable.
Maybe the Pulse Con in a couple weeks time was going to be its release.
(I still hope that it is delayed to fix the windshield... but it would be nice to be updated by Hasbro.)
I saw something today about the back of the packaging for Gigawatt but for the life of me I can't remember where.
I will definitely be jumping on a pre-order when it goes up

This is now up for pre-order on EB Games website - $69 with $10 deposit, for a December release.
Edit:
Zing link: https://www.zingpopculture.com.au/pr...igawatt-figure
Zing listed too.... order is in!
December release date.
After missing the Amazon listing last night by 30 minutes and it going out of stock... yeah, I'm not risking missing out on this.Quote:

The Amazon Australia listing is here - it is currently showing as unavailable, but could show up again as they adjust their pre-order listing, as they couldn't have sold out already.
They were reportedly listed for $60, which is a little cheaper than EB Games, and were probably the same release date of December.
Thx, preordered with EB games, don't want to miss out on this one too, amazon for me has been hit and miss lately.
I’m guessing people will want their Gigawatt boxes to be pristine. So definately avoid Amazon no matter the cost if the box is precious to you.
Agreed, although I only have a sample size of two.Quote:

There is already a thread for this. You're about 3 days late.
I hope noone was waiting for payday.... looks like Gigawatt has gone back to 1985!!
As in he is no longer on Zing or EB websites
I was waiting for payday, but I can live without him.
I managed to place my pre-order, but I imagine he sold out, besides didn't Griffin say something about a wider Australian release than just EB and Zing?
Yeah it is intended for JBHiFi, and maybe Mr Toys or something.... but as we know, things change so they are a wait and see....Quote:

Well that's annoying... and the same thing has happened with Maverick as well, so maybe they are both being released soon, and if there are any leftovers they will put the listings back up.Quote:

I'm sure with the amount of stock that we are supposed to be getting in Australia, it should be easy to find when it is released. (as long as our stock numbers weren't cut by Hasbro America without telling us)
Mighty Ape has it for $60.99. Releases 15 Nov 20.

Did anyone get end up getting Gigawatt from EB, MightyApe or Amazon Australia (Australian stock)?
We were supposed to get a lot of stock of this figure here, but then it disappeared soon after it was listed (quicker than other exclusives that were known to be really limited), as if we didn't get much stock here at all.
From what I've been seeing on Facebook (and my own experience), EB has yet to give anyone their Gigawatts, Mighty Ape has and Amazon cancelled a lot, if not everyone, who pre-ordered with them.
Saw a couple of gigs watts from MA on Facebook in the last couple of days.... not heaps, just a couple. And saw someone put Dec 11 as the Zing date
My EB Games Pre-Order is showing: Pending Release
I was told by EB staff it had been pushed to the 11th but earlier would be nice too.Quote:

Glad to have it, though the box arrived crushed due to the oversized shipping box they used.
I noticed Popcultcha has it for preorder. $59.99. Not ready til June 2021 though.
