Robosen auto-converting Optimus released in Australia

[Sinnertwin]

I'll be keen on version 2.
This one is a bit too clunky for my tastes.

Are you ordering 2 griffin? One for bot and one for alt mode?

[griffin]

Still uncommitted to getting one.

If I'm going to give EB Games $1400 I'd rather get a Valve Index in return...

As excited as i was when i first heard about this - and as cool as i still think it is - i could never justify spending that much on it. Id probably still even screw my nose up at a $1k aud price tag tbh.

Basically because I actually dont think it particularly looks that great in either mode, and the auto-transforming is something id do once or twice then never again. Itd be a $1400 dust collector on the shelf or boxed up cupboard filler.

The whole 'programmable' thing reminds me a bit of when i bought a few tomy i-sobots back in the day thinking they'd be cool to use... which i never did! Still cool though :P

FYI id have no issues buying from ShowZ even something of this price; though for $200 more, like you suggested itd probs be worth having the safety net and getting your hands on it locally.
