HASLAB Car Robots God Fire Convoy/RID Omega Prime announced for "Fall" 2025 Delivery

This is just insulting at this point. EB Games in New Zealand put their listing up for Omega Prime. It's $699 NZD.

$100 cheaper, now if we could lower that by at least another 150 it would be great

Well, you might purchase directly from Hasbro Pulse and use a mail forwarder. You'll get an international credit card fee (trivial) and then postage from the US (non-trivial), but it'll still be a damned sight less than through EB.

So no ones got any replies from contacting Hasbro Australia on this?

Nope - I checked and it's still pending from when I put it in :/

Yeah, this is what I'm doing and I've already backed two on Hasbro Pulse.
I wish more people would stop seeing EB as the be all, end all of getting Transformers product.

How much was that going to be, thinking of doing the same

I don't think many people see it like that. I know I certainly don't. The only things I've bought from EB since other places started stock fan-channel stuff have been Haslabs.

And really, I don't think too many people upset about this Haslab are upset enough to make a several-hundred dollar experiment with parcel-forwarding. So either they'll buy from EB, or not buy at all. The people here who are doing research and making plans are outliers.

Yeah. I really don't feel like dealing with parcel forwarding. So if I have to, I'll get it from EB. That said, if anyone thinks EB Games is some be-all and end-all of Transformers needs to be shown Amazon AU, JB HiFi, Popcultcha, TFH, RK, etc, etc. Better prices, and/or better availability.
