Interesting that their normal price is only 10% higher as well for all those figs. $119 regular price for Goatimus?

It seems their regular prices are more in line with what the actual value of the figures are...

That or maybe they got a deal on leftover stock, which they priced accordingly?

I wonder if these are shipped out from New Zealand or if Mighty Ape have a Australia warehouse.

I pre ordered the Seekers from the NZ store when they first showed up for a 1/1/16 release.

I was not aware that there was a Mighty Ape online store... or didn't notice it being mentioned before.

Looks like they stock a range of the more collector focused items, with an odd range of prices... with most being more expensive than other sources, but some items being cheaper (mostly the sale items though).

Unfortunately, they appear to price items based on demand, rather than what it costs them, like JP Adventure Grimlock, who should be a lot cheaper than $82.
I was going to hope that they will be stocking future Mighty Ape exclusives, but if they did, they will price them according to their rarity, rather than what they are priced at in their Japanese stores.

How much are these items now available for at Myer/TRU? I know Myer always start off with extortionate prices then drop them to reasonable - just wondering if the YOTG figures are actually that much of a bargain?

Just in Myer Sydney City store now and the YOTG G2 Prime is still $209. So about double the Mighty Ape price. Plus they have the obnoxious security wire around that wrecks the edges of the box (for those like me that care about such things).

Myer has the seekers for $200 -- although went as low as $100 at the last sale.

TRU has the Insecticons for $149.
