All three have been found at Kmart stores last night and today... but each web listing is saying that they are already sold out online. Did anyone see stock available on the actual listing pages?

I just looked up the US Target website, and Hasbro Australia got some good prices on these. The Cassette pack is US$30 in America (that's about AU$42, but would normally end up being AU$60 here), while the Titan Changer is US$20 over there (that's about AU$28, but that US price point would normally end up being AU$40 here - that's about $15 below the expected retail price here... and even if it was sold here for the exact same value as in America, we'd still be getting it cheaper by about $3).


Of all the toys they ended up having released here cheap, I paid someone in America to order these from the US website and forward them to me (which all adds to the expense), just last week... which has ended up costing me a lot more than buying them locally.

Just adding to my previous posting about the extraordinarily great prices that Hasbro Australia managed to secure on these three exclusives... the American retail price of the Studio Series 2-pack has now also been revealed - US$40 (about AU$57... but would have been priced at about AU$80 here, based on other items at that US price point).



That makes our price here at AU$45 (about US$31.50) significantly cheaper than in America... and as noted already, a lot less than what two Deluxes cost here (about AU$60).


The 2-pack may not be the most desirable pair, being very minor redecos of previous toys, but if you were wanting this set, or didn't yet have either of the two moulds, it is the one rare occasion that it is cheaper to buy locally than to import (by at least $20... before shipping).

It’s in the Kmart catalogue along with the cassette pack starting tomorrow. Still $45 each.

What it tells me is that US prices are high given the economies of scale & retailer competition over there. The price point of these here hits the sweet spot IMO.
