    Saying that when it did made it to the shelves they forgot to put aside for the reserves

    I recall the lay by but no guarantee

    Some stores, weeks after the catalogue.

    The whole purpose of the catalogue is to show people is available now from this date. Not pending to be delivered. A lot of unnecessary calls.

    Since that was a special price organised with Hasbro to get them in store first, and the other stores charging a "regular" $300, I want to see what BigW are charging this time.

    Little late, isnt it?
    Between FB sellers for $195-$220, Toymate/Toyworld's selling the SDCC version, eBay selling the SDCC version for $250 delivered & the upcoming UW04 release, I don't see that much interest for him

    I think it will still do well if it's at $198 again, as there were quite a few here who still want one, and would prefer the cheaper domestic option (particularly if a replacement or refund is required on such a large expensive item).

    The SDCC versions are too flashy and a few people may not like it.
    Personally I am okay with the Hasbro one if you have not been able to get a UW version cheap. I was going to skip the UW version as I was in the mindset that it was going to be above $50 extra which it is now. It just happened that PC gave such a low price, it was hard not to say no just because we were speculating elbow joints could be a form of weakness.

    Bigw imo should have got this prepared and launched this week than 17th.
    but there is a saying, better late than never.
