JP Seacons wave 2 & Big Convoy on Zing/EB Games

[Tha_Phantom]

And the really annoying thing.... since ive already ordered the first two I will probably order these as well - I'm an idiot

You won't look like an idiot in 2-3 years time. You'll thank yourself for preordering.

Bit of a shame but I'm going to have to get these through Ohmyprimus. Not sure if I'll get Big Convoy just yet. May as well, to display with MP-48 but will probably go through Ohmyprimus as well.

Damn. I don’t mind paying a bit more for Australian Consumer Law statutory rights, but $24 extra for 2 deluxes (vs OhMyPrimus) is a bit much. Might be good to send a message to Zing before they get too cocky.

The price increase might not be EB's fault but I'll ask.

[dirge]

Pre-ordered the Seacons. As for the price increase... thanks falling dollar & Trump's trade war nonsense... but $16 won't be missed once they're in hand.

Just carted and estimated at omp.... 114 sgd which converts to 120 aud right now.... plus whatever extra charges or rate changes happen between now and feb.

So only 16 not 24 Jay...

Zing can take my order and bring on 5 and 6.

I'll order my pair next week when I get paid again

I guess if they charged gst it would be about the same.
Get them from where you trust if they are cheaper... Australian prices are always more so when they aren't (like Unicron) it is great.

Whether you put in Sydney or Melbourne the shipping with OMP is SGD 16. Add that to the SGD 90 item cost gives you SGD 106. At the current exchange rate that translates to $112. So a difference of $24 as per Jay.

The SGD to AUD has been incredibly stable at around 0.93-0.95 for the last 12 months regardless of trade wars etc. In any case it can also be paid for upfront for around $118 from Robot Kingdom to avoid any currency uncertainty.

I think you’re mistaken. Their site annoyingly keeps defaulting back to US shipping. It messes with me all the time. Shipping should only be SGD 16. Item is 90. SGD 106 = AUD 112. Zing 136 - 112 = 24.

EDIT: Don’t get me wrong. I love what Zing is doing. I’ve preordered everything else with them. I’m just signalling back to them.
