GEN-TR Trypticon is in Australia

[Batfan007]

Okay, Big W's price is pretty expensive. But I'd rather pay that and just GET the damn toy over paying say $160 from The-Dealer-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named with nothing to show.

...which I already have... *sigh*

Just get a chargeback!

and now the painful wait for Trippers Be Con to appear and rampage throughout Australian cities. I for one welcome this mass destruction and salute our new overlord.

Not defending this pricing per se, but the retail markup is usually 100-200%, aka if Big W charges $300 for it, they paid Hasbro $100-150.

However obviously heaps of that goes into store costs (wages, electricity, shelf space, security, distribution) etc, so while the retail markup is high, there are a lot of costs to running a massive system of stores like Big W.

So looks to me like Hasbro AU/USA is charging a lot more than it used to

If you hate stickers, he's not for you. 158.

I can't remember, did Devastator or Fort Max have sale prices, or were they just standard price for the toy sale?

I think Victorion was like $20 cheaper but that's a guess

Never mind, just researched it myself and the answer is no. (Results from Otca too!)

Wondering if Trypticon will be the same.

Was hoping one of the WA stores would have had it on the shelves like in the eastern states...

Could we maybe just once not derail a thread into a complaint/conspiracy rant about a particular retailer.

This is why we can't have nice things!

So if $298 is the regular price, what will the sale price be?

So if $298 is the regular price, what will the sale price be?

My guess, 20'ish % off, about $228-$248?Better if it was $198

[davieanix]

I'm thinking if Devs and Fort Max didn't have sale prices then perhaps it's unlikely Trypticon will.

I hope we find out soon because I'm pretty sure I'll impulse buy it as soon as I see it, and if there isn't a sale price then I won't feel bad haha
