Robosen auto-converting Optimus released in Australia

For the price it is, it should look better then it does. It kinda reminds me of a bad third party attempt at a masterpiece design...the fact it transforms by itself is super cool though.

If anyone is interested in buying the trailer, Robosen has a form for interested international customers to complete. If there are enough numbers, they'll make it happen.

Not sure why, but EBGames have pushed back the release date of the Robosen Optimus, to July 8th.

Not sure why, but EBGames have pushed back the release date of the Robosen Optimus, to July 8th.

And just a week later, I see that the release date has been pushed back to August 4th.
More time to save up for it, if anyone was still wanting one.

The product page is saying December now... so I'm not sure if they released it already and will have a second batch coming in December... or if they have pushed back the release to December.

The news though is that they have listed the Trailer now as well, for December at the same price - au$1400.

If the robot part is now being released in December, I don't know why they would need to do that, unless the shipment from Japan or America was held back to include the trailer part.
It just seems like too much money to have hit at once... and really needs to be spread out a lot more (like in other countries, who now have a year between the two expensive parts).

I got a call from EB Games yesterday telling me that Prime pre-orders wouldn't be shipped to stores unless they were paid in full. They also said it was still due 5th of August. It'd definitely suck if it were pushed all the way to December, having had to pay the thing off expecting to have it in a few weeks time.

I just picked him up today and already having issues within an hour of opening it. After getting him to do pushups via the app, his left arm has gone limp, with a voice saying a bunch of left-arm cables are disconnected and to shut down and re-plug.
Waiting to hear back from Robosen.
