    That price is sooo wrong may be it is meant for BW Megatron that no one would probably argue

    We all know better than to order from them, but a particular Australian online retailer has Dinobot up for pre-order at $169.95.

    This looks a lot closer to the mark for an expected price.

    TRANSFORMERS: DEICIDE -- The Beast Wars 20th Anniversary Comic Book series that could have been...
    TRANSFORMERS: UNITY -- the BotCon 2016 Comic Book that should have been...

    But they always go cheaper than most. So you're looking at $200+. They'll be basing it off this astronomical price. That's how they always do it, then adjust later

    The problem is all the other online retailers are posting prices of $200-$250 USD, whereas their price is $169.95 AUD.

    I think there is some confusion or misinformation being provided to the online retailers about just what price per unit Dinobot is meant to be.

    That's true too. Most online retailers at least don't charge upfront though. Good luck getting a refund if the price is wrong lol

    Usually that retailer prices their mainline goods somewhere between HLJ and Anime Export -- so 20% to 30% off Japanese RRP.

    But even at the cheapest 30% off 28,000 yen (~AU$320), that would still mean a price of AU$224, which is still way higher than the AU$170 listed.

    They charged AU$220 for MP Megatron, which is the same price as what HLJ is charging, and whose RRP was lower at 23,000 yen (~AU$265).

    If MP Dinobot has an RRP higher than MP Megatron, I can't see how that retailer is charging a lower price -- they're either BS'ing or the RRP is significantly lower.

    Ah speculation

    Until Takara comes out and confirms the price, I won't place an order with anyone

    Not a dig, just quietly giggling at the fandom talking in circles

    LOL! Have to do something until we get a confirmation of the price!

    Then we get thrown a curveball and MP-41 is actually MP Galvatron!
