Kre-O Regular Retail Prices in Australia

An excellent list Griffin.

Wow, Myer really needs to take a look at itself - profiteering much?

I'm quite sure Jazz is the same price as Mirage at Target. I also bought Prowl from Target but I can't remember how much I paid. I might be going to Target today so I can investigate so Target can be complete.

for some reason, their cost prices are as much as other retailer's sale prices

i tried to price match leader ironhide at $65-69? when it first came out and myer said they couldn't do it as it was below their cost price. I was like wtf? how do you make money on toys then?

it was really ridiculous.

Target
- Ratchet $39
- Prowl $39
- Jazz - my local store had none left but I remember Jazz was the same price as Mirage.

Added in the above prices, and I checked out a Myer & DJs today with Christalcase to fill out the rest of the table.
If you find something at a store chain that is listed above as not stocking it, please post here and it will be added.

I also just highlighted the cheapest price of each item in RED, to make it easier to spot.
(I noted the two cheapest prices for Ratchet because the cheapest was only at some Toyworlds)


Christalcase and I also noticed that several stores had Hasbro displays of the large Bumblebee & Optimus in display cases (at Target, Myer, TRU). It had their robot modes done up on a diorama-type setting, with cardboard cut-outs of their vehicle modes next to them. No Kreon mini-figures where included, which seemed a shame, as they are a fairly big marketting point on these sets.

Had the same issue with Cars when BigW had their sale. Myer wouldn't price match.

I got Kre-O Megatron for chrimbo, my 4-yr old enjoyed putting it together with me so I went looking for another.

Picked up Sentinel for $43 (currently 44% off on fishpond)

Have you received it from Fishpond yet or just ordered it? I and others have found them very hit and miss on actual delivery of products.

I noticed their USA supplier has Sentinel for $41.71, save $34.28 (45%) on their website at the moment with free shipping but Fishpond themselves have it listed for $65.97, save $34.02 (34%). The USA supplier may be better at delivery than Fishpond too.

I got Big Op at Target for like 92, Sentinel for about 57 and Starscream for like 44. That is Target rockingham by the way.
