Amazon US items (available to us)

[griffin]

TFPrime Voyager Thundertron for US$22 - that's cheaper than a Deluxe here.
TFPrime Voyager Starscream for US$20 - should be less than here after shipping, but get a few other items with it to save more on shipping.
(just wish they had all of last four Voyagers (Dreadwing, Magnus, Thundertron, Skyquake), which we didn't get here... and are hard to find online)

Also, the redeco convertible Rescue Bots are up for $15 each - Optimus, Bumblebee, Heatwave, Chase. (they look horrible with half translucent parts... like pre-production prototypes)

Looks like the next batch of Kreo (Beast Hunters) will be put up in the next couple weeks as well, as one is already listed with a release date of January 29th.


Just placed an order for the four Rescue Bots (about Voyager size in packaging), and 3 Thundertrons... shipping came to a total of $14! That's $2 per Voyager toy! (makes the Thundertrons cost $24 each - cheaper than a Deluxe toy here)
The key is to buy a few extra items if you only want one, so that shipping is cheaper (keep adjusting your cart to get the best rate, and sell off the extras at an Australian retail price, or less if it was something released here).

Picked up the box today from the post office... a huge box for $14 shipping from America, filled with seven voyager sized toys.
How can you beat that.... well, free shipping would be better, but we'd only get that if we were living in America (yes, they get cheap toys AND free shipping).

I just wish Amazon shipped all their Transformers toys overseas, not just the more random ones (or ones they probably aren't selling well in America).

Can we get stuff that is sold by other sellers with the cheap shipping as well?
For exampl, Rumble here has been taken by a bunch of resellers. If I bought one of theirs, would it get the cheap shipping that buying direct from amazon has?

I would like a BH Optimus. Might slap one in the cart and see how much it'll end up costing

*edit*
no it would appear it doesn't work...

Oh well

I put 5 first edition Vehicon in my amazon cart earlier. Came to $65.37. Then checked the shipping, and it was $127.82!!!!!...just for the shipping. This was from some other seller.

Yeah, the non-Amazon people will have their own shipping and must have something pre-entered for international orders. Amazon must have some sort of bulk shipping deal with the US postal service (or whomever they use) to get such a good deal.

I note I'm only able to buy certain things if they're from Amazon themselves.
unless of course the company has an embargo on selling the items overseas.

Today's browsings while shopping...

Kreo Combiner Superion $11
Kreo Combiner Bruticus $11
Kreo Combiner Predaking $11
(note - no Devastator in stock... BBTS has all four for $10 each, but Amazon should be cheaper after shipping, especially if buying other items)

Kreo Beast Hunters Optimus $25 (instock 19th Feb)
Kreo Beast Hunters Bumblebee $20
Kreo Beast Hunters Ripclaw $20
(note - BBTS has Optimus at $26, but the other two at $18... I think shipping for the three would be more than $3 cheaper at Amazon)

Generations FOC Voyager Soundwave $23

Art of Cybertron (FOC artbook) $25 (from $40)
TFPrime Season 2 DVD $20 (from $30)
TFPrime Season 2 Bluray $44 (from $60)

Quite a few IDW compilations are listed at close to half price, but don't buy with toy items, as they end up just floating around loose in a big box. Plus, you have to pay shipping, so compare to bookdepository's prices who have free shipping.

all the kreo combiners except predaking are sold out on Amazon, ended up ordering all 4 directly from BBTS

Jackson says $16.99 is too expensive for a Voyager Class figure like AoE Drift

I'd love to know what he'd think of paying $42.75 UsD for one

The Protectobots packs shipped, so must have arrived in stock as they were scheduled to.
