2021 Transformers Toy Checklist for Australia

So what story is being given to explain the disparity in US and AU prices for the Fangry box?

The exchange rate is roughly 1:1.4, so USD $85 is AUD $120. Why is it being listed at $160? That's an extra 33% from no-where. No damned way is that due to alleged extra costs of transport.

If you look at all of the different price points in the checklist, Australian prices are generally double whatever the US number is... so for something to be less than double, especially at a retailer like Myer, we actually got a good deal.

It's actually how I work out the estimated prices here of future items, because it is a very reliable conversion rate of just doubling the US figure, no matter what the current exchange rate actually is.

Updated posts 2-5 with newest releases and reveals.

I will have to start filling out the 2022 post, now that we have several items officially revealed, including Victory Saber for late 2022.

Spent the day updating everything, including the confirmed 2022 items.

I still want to update some of the prices, but need to update the pricing topic first.

Some of the 2021 list will carry over to 2022 (items yet to be released here) to be updated later, but one of the edits just done to the Kingdom list is the Core class waves.
Until the recent reveal of Hotrod, it had me wondering why we didn't have a 4th wave to be released with the Deluxe and Voyager waves... and now it looks like there was indeed a fourth wave, just no new figures in it.

According to Entertainment Earth, the waves had...
w1 - (new) 3 Optimus, 3 Rattrap, 2 Vertebreak
w2 - (new) 3 Megatron, 3 Starscream - (old) 1 Rattrap, 1 Vertebreak
w3 - (new) 3 Soundwave, 3 Dracodon - (old) 1 Optimus, 1 Starscream
w4 - (old) 2 Soundwave, 2 Dracodon, 2 Optimus, 2 Megatron
w5 - (new) 3 Hotrod, - (old) 3 Soundwave, 2 Rattrap

I'd have to check my photos to see if we got both wave 3 and 4 here, but it means that Soundwave could end up being the shelfwarmer if we get wave 5 Hotrod here, with so many units in the last three of the five waves.
