Hey that reminds me, weren't Hasbro and TRU making a deal where no other company or dealer could buy their "TRU exclusives" at wholesale? arrrgh, I read it on Seibertron I think.That might explain the price hike?

Yep. But not sure if that applies to Hasbro Au too. Different markets, different rules really. The problem is more so BBTS / TF Source and the like, I think.Originally Posted by tinyJazz

Don't know if it's been reported elsewhere, but TRU in Hong Kong are getting the Hasbro version as an exclusive too.
Their catalogue price is $599.90 HKD (About $72 AU). This compares to $519.90 for a Leader and $859.90 for Ultimate Optimus Prime.

Had a mate pick up Rodimus for me today at Toys R Us in Melbourne for $80
