Zing/Eb Game MP-48 Masterpiece Lio Convoy

[hYpNoS]

I had a look at their site, and it's weird that their SG amount (SG$190 + SG$16 shipping) converts to au$220 at the current exchange rate... but when you use their site to convert their prices to AU$, it only comes to AU$210. Obviously best to pay by AU$ on that site. (either way it is a lot cheaper, even compared to Japanese listings)

It is indeed puzzling why this one is so much more expensive on Zing/EB, but maybe the question is why OMP is selling it so cheaply, as the JP retail price converts to about AU$300, so if you were buying this in Japan, it would be the same price. (fortunately some online stores like HLJ have a 20% discount for pre-ordering it, so it comes down to AU$240 plus shipping... which would still just be a little cheaper than the Zing/EB price).

I guess with MPM Megatron being about AU$100 cheaper than it was supposed to be, and this one being more expensive than some Asian options, it's just a matter of win-some-lose-some... or EB Games didn't think that they would sell many of Lio Convoy, so need to make more per unit.

I spoke to local zing staff...maybe not the best people to ask since they can't make the choices lol, I could be dumb and assume the megatron's are hk stock and lio convoys are JP stock but (considering they all come from taiwan) it seems convoluted at best.

Your theory on lioconvoy is one of my theories as well, the other theory being "oh bay-formers, BLEH" so megatron somehow gets a discount and lio convoy "oh look he looks like prime" and gets an increase.

Lio Convoy is now gone from both EB Games and Zing websites.

Looks like it's back on Zing.
