(eg. Deluxes here are about US$22-25 with tax, compared with in America of about US$11 with tax). And the retail pricing of Transformers in Australia will remain the same until at least next year, no matter how good our exchange rate keeps getting.
The Hasbro Reps must think we're just a bunch of mindless saps who believe anything they tell us. Hogwash I tell you, Hogwash!

Now that's great news! A couple of times I've tried to order things from Hasbro's US site & with them actually setting up a site for us in the Oceania region - Some of the best TF news I've heard in a long time!
