Nope, I don't permit cookies or specify postcodes. Big W has joined the ranks of sites that don't bother about HTML standards but rather code to the quirks of a preferred one - just like how 15 years ago lots of developers coded for either IE or everything else.

Well, you might not be overriding it, but they're defaulting you to a postcode.

First screenshot is if I specify my postcode as Mildura.
Second is the same (full price, out of stock) when I try 2000, 3000 and 6000.

Try changing your postcode - see what happens... all in the same browser. It'll still remember a postcode change per session without cookies. I'm not using Firefox.

Ah, yes. One of my managers told me about that. When Armada Optimus was on clearance last year and everyone was telling me about it, yet when I walked into work it was full price, I was like WTF is everyone talking about?

Pricing is per-store on clearance items. That's why it says "Price may vary in store". I didn't even see that disclaimer when I looked on the site late last night.

So moral of the story. Check the price at your local store or one you are willing to drive to.

Anyway, has anyone seen a better deal on Cybertron Starscream than this Amazon AU listing from Amazon DE?

It's the JP version but even with shipping will be about ~$60: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-168158.

Edit: Not an AU store but I haven't seen it anywhere locally :/

Would also order from the Japanese store of your choice. Bought Silverbolt with it looking unlikely to turn up here, going to do the same with Starscream.

and sure I found a single Twincast on shelf one time but if EB and JB do not have it I usually do not see it. Never saw Devcon, probably some other examples of this situation where technically big w may get the case in but no retailer with a good online system did because solid cases were not shipped. I would not pay $60 for any voyager, but if it is a character I really want and people generally seem happy with the figure... importing it for what is basically retail is nicer than failing the dice roll and only finding it for $200 later.

I second this i ordered Starscream, Detritus and a few others through japanese sites, later release but at least i get them.
With Starscream i can always cancel if he shows up locally but the lack of preorders doesn't fill me with hope.

Never saw Devcon

Devcon did NOT come to our shores directly. He was available on Amazon from the USA for a while though.
