I'll consider getting the Ark from them since they are charging MSRP instead of price gouging like they so often do.

[G1Optimal]

Even if its gouging you would be roughly paying that for shipping from overseas anyway if not cheaper

well thats how I justify buying from them

Might be a silly question, but how do you know the Australia MSRP for items?

300 seems quite a bit dearer than previous Titan Classes (but I do think I?ve seen Omega charged at 299 in Toymate, which is dearer than most other retailers).

300 was the retail for omega, Scorp, and I think Trypt.... but BigW undercuts when they can....

Some Vic toyworlds ranged Omega and Scorp from 250-320... 300 was most common

So 300 is the target... cheaper yay, but 300 bareable and expected

That said, deluxe and voyager I’ll risk retail

Roddy I’ll hope for BigW
Ark I’ll hope for Toyworld or BigW

Leaders and exclusives are the hit and miss... so Galv, SGBlurr and Dino Blast pack all ordered

After all the hassles I went through last year with cancelled orders due to various suppliers having their allocations cut or cancelled, I am happy to pay a slight premium to deal with a single supplier that has yet to fail me. To my mind the Unicron deal indicates that EB/Zing and Hasbro have a pretty solid relationship, and that gives me confidence that my orders will be honored. It also means I can focus my energy on tracking down the store exclusives that just won't appear over here!

EB's prices are not very consistent among the size classes.

Items selling out is really surprising... like Black Zarak... because EB Games used to take orders until a cut-off date, and submit their quantity to Hasbro. Now it just looks like they are given a set allocation, and if it sells out really fast EB misses out on money... and if they don't sell out, they are stuck with dead stock that they would eventually have to discount.
I think, them changing the system was a bad move, and will reduce the success of the Brand at EB, as items will now be hit and miss for them, and more collectors will miss out on the convenience of using them for store pickups without paying shipping.
