Amazon AUSTRALIA Transformers items

[Kyle]

I have over $600 of outstanding pre-orders that should have been released already by Amazon Australia.
They are still yet to get or ship items originally listed for July and August.
Many of these items have already been released by EB Games, Toyworld and Target, so I don't know why Amazon Australia isn't getting their stock, because Hasbro Australia seems to have it and is still able to send it out during the Sydney lockdown.

I really hope that Hasbro didn't pull their contract with Amazon Australia as punishment over all of those early product listings that we saw on there, and Amazon just hasn't cancelled our orders yet, hoping to still get their account back at Hasbro.
There's no reason why other retailers are getting their stock, but Amazon Australia isn't. (and I don't have the contact there at this time to ask what is going on)

I wonder if it's actually the other way around... Maybe it now works out to be cheaper for Amazon AU to be getting their stock from Hasbro US via Amazon US? Amazon AU having tbeir own shipping containers coming from Amazon US by sea could explain the current delays.

I find it impossible to believe as well, as Amazon globally is a huge customer of any business using them... but something unusual is going on, and the less likely options have been ruled out, because the stock is in the country and shipping out to other retailers, and Amazon Australia is still selling and shipping older Transformers toys. Something is stopping Amazon Australia from getting Transformers toys since late June... pushing back release dates and even cancelling orders.

I remember that when Amazon Australia first started here, they had products shipped from America just to be able to launch with a back-catalogue of products.
The "Hasbro Store" page is a relatively new thing, since late last year I think... so if Amazon Australia were doing it as a trial only, maybe the trial period is over, and they decided they weren't making enough sales (or stuck with too many over-priced import items).

Got charged for Kingdom Scorponok today, first thing I haven't cancelled recently (since it came to ebgames but was presold out).

Was it AU stock or US stock?

A couple of people just got the SG Blurr from Amazon, and it looks like it was AU stock... the first new stock since late June. So could this be the first trickle before the flood of catching up on all the toys that they are currently late with?
At least I hope so, as I hate having to keep several hundred dollars in an account that I prefer to keep low in case someone fraudulently uses it for purchases (which would be rejected if there is no money there for them to use).

Oh, seems it's US, sorry. $34.13 ordered 25th April. Strange all the other preorders were AU (though I cancelled tracks/wingfinger so I can't check). Also, missed all these recent sales because I accidentally had the pre-order page bookmarked for Hasbro, not the everything transformers from Hasbro page.

I just got charged for G2 ramjet and kingdom scorponok. Both definitely ordered as AU stock.

My scorponok was ordered April 22nd, $34.13 as well so I would think yours is AU stock too.

Yeah I swear it was allAU stock ordered through the preorder page, just clicking on the item now in the order says amazon US on the product page, same as if you go through the amazon hasbro au preorder page.

I was wondering why people were talking about Scorpinok. I totally forgot the BW character was coming out this year. I thought everyone was talking about the Titan from last year. lol

They probably were talking about earthrise scorponok. It was back in stock a couple of weeks ago at a good price of $219
