well, according to posts in FBLand, TrU has a $400 price tag attached to this bad boy...

Where's it say this? I can't find any reference to price for Australia

If any Australian retailer thinks they'll move a G1 Trypticon at $400, in any reasonable quantity, they better not have plans to do anything with the shelf space for the next couple of years!

I know there's no evidence to support that figure, but good lord, not even US TRU would be so stupid - Surely?

We've seen the stuff they get at expensive prices shelfwarm, but they just keep on going, if not increasing the price.

...and if they go on to consider this toy to be worth Half a Thousand Dollars, and that people will be willing to pay that, they will only further prove just how behind and out of touch Big Retail is in this country.

Again, baring in-mind, this is all precicated on a rumour.

And Knowing is half the battle.

Wow, I was thinking about getting a Trypticon but at that price I think I'll stick with my second hand one I bought through the forum a few years ago.

That's bloody retarded! I'm not dropping $400 on a transformer I can get for half the bloody price from Hong Kong!

400 bucks???!!

Tell em their dreamin' No way I'm forking out that sort of cash for a reissue.

$400????

Encore Fortress Maximus wasn't even that price... For $400 I can buy an original Trypticon...

These retailers really need to uppercut themselves...
