Titan Class METROPLEX

[Sinnertwin]

So that would be USD $155 from Amazon? Which equates to over AU $170. I thought I'd read somewhere that it would be selling for $150 in Oz. Does anyone know if that sounds right or will it be more?

His current RRP is $200 according to Myer & TRU with s scheduled in store date of September. if they have a 20-25% off sale, then he'd be priced between $150-$160. You've probably seen those prices around the board

Thanks Sinnertwin. Myer are famous for over pricing their transformers and sometimes TRU have been guilty of the same. Do we know if any other stores such as Kmart, Big W or Target are getting these in? I suspect they may be cheaper there. Still, $170 is looking pretty good and may be similar to what it would go for at the other chains if they choose to stock it.

Cheers for the info.

BTW, saw Optibotimus's review of this today and cracked me up when his cat made several impromptu appearances in front of the camera. Of course, feel free to ignore the BBTS plug at the end.

Anyone know if the takara version will have japanese voice clips or english voice clips?

Just got off the phone from Target, they did a search through and couldn't find a listing. We (Kmart) don't have a listing either, that of course may change. I'll shoot an email off to Hasbro later tonight, see if i can get a listing of stores.

Thanks mate, appreciate that. I look forward to the response. It will help myself and probably others on the forum determine which option best suits them.

I'd like some clarification to this also; there's been plenty of info regarding the different decos but literally no word on whether the Takara release will have a Japanese Dub.
To be honest, I don't think it'll matter too much to me at the end of the day as I wont be leaving the batteries in for long regardless of the version I end up obtaining - It'd just be nice to know once and for all is all.

! I never thought of that. I am going for the Japanese version to open due to the better deco and the extra gun, but the voice chip in English rocks compared to other toys ... what do I do

I've pre-ordered the Hasbro version, but I'd be willing to swap the voice chip with you (if it's easily doable) if you like. I personally don't care if my Metroplex speaks English or Japanese, and in all likelihood I'm probably gonna keep the batteries out and hardly ever use the sound gimmick anyway. So get the Japanese version if you prefer the look of that, and maybe we can work something out later down the track.

My money's on an English voice chip

I just preordered from Amazon. If you sign up for an Amazon CC then you get an instant $50 gift coupon. $105USD and change shipped for Metroplex...not bad. Granted I have a US account so not sure if you can sign up without one.

I bet there's a way I can get a couple of my friends in the States to perhaps sign up and purchase for members, though not sure if they've already taken the deal.
