Does anyone else think there should be a group order?

Sounds like a plan =o) An all-in Aussie order, or per state? If the latter, any other SA's apart from SofaMan looking for some Wave 1 RTS's to group order?

There can't be a group order from there, they've only got two in stock now.

Ive ordered mine off the net now so I'm expecting it to turn up in stores en masse between now and the time it arrives

Hehe - I know that feeling.

This.

Hasbro and their obsession with repaints. And these are expensive repaints. The only people who'd buy Ratchet and Payload would be:
+ Completists
+ People who didn't get the previous moulds and are satisfied with getting these repaints
+ People who actually find these repaints appealing enough to splash an extra $50 each on them
...which I dare say would be a small minority of the consumer market.

SeaspraySea Spray may not be the greatest Voyager around (although I personally think he's pretty cool) - but at least he's original. I also prefer to see toys packaged in vehicle mode.

Pretty sure that as a business model, they expect to sell repaints to kids who don't already have that toy, since they don't depend upon collectors who know about every single release, and who may already own a version of such a mold. Of course, they're not clairvoyant in knowing which repaints (or even new molds) will sell well.

I'm really starting to feel quite dejected about the lack of Highbrows getting around.
Not sure I'm willing to pay the AUD$69 from RK.
Are we ever likely to see him on the shelves here?
Spewin I missed him at amiami for $35 now...

I usually find that the repaints are more to my liking truth be told. After the Red Baron-esque repaint of Ransack I'm quite looking forward to seeing what they do with Highbrow.

Well if he never comes, at least I hope there's a DOTM-related redeco of him

[Firestorm]

I never realised Highbrow never came out here,
I got mine from Minotaur in Melbourne ages ago so i never really went looking for Highbrows

chances are if others dont manage to get Highbrow it's bound to be repainted at some point in the DOTM toyline
