    Official price from HTS is $70 US


    https://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/hts...40000?catName=

    Wonder how much it would cost to forward from US. Would forwarders pack it properly so the box won't get crushed?

    So just under AU$100. Looks to me like TLTC price is over what it should be, AU$120 would be fair but $185 is too much, especially since that doesn't include postage.
    One hopes that they reduce the price in light of this, but we'll just have to wait and see.

    Most forwarders offer multiple options, you can send the item exactly how they received it (which is generally ok when the item comes from a toy store as it will be decently packed), or you can pay extra for them to open the packing box up and add in extra padding, fragile labels, etc etc.
    Note, not all forwarders offer these services but a lot do, just check under extra services offered to make sure.
    As for cost that depends on the final parcel size and shipping method but a rough guesstimate using shipito's calculator says it would be US$30-50.

    109USD at Robot Kingdom, TLTC doesn't look so bad now though RK will more than likely get you it quicker

    I don't know if this has changed but when I was listening to Seibertron's podcast a few years ago they mentioned that HTS is actually a small company that Hasbro licenses HTS to. If they are still a small company working under license they may simply have no interest in expanding outside America.

    Sounds like this is going to get wider distribution with Takara as PP-43.

    This Primal looks so good that it would be an amazing display to pose this one alongside MP Starscream (with cape) and MP Grimlock. All three of them have crowns.

    But I felt that it would have easily costed $185. By the time I shipped it over here.

    Surprised that not many people seem too excited about this figure.
    Heavy lies the crown on this OPs head.

    Interesting news, and depending on the rrp takara charge it could make the sdcc exclusive a bargain, just about everyone who's doing sdcc exclusives and tf's are gonna lose out hard though but my money goes who charges the least

    Big bad seems to have him the cheapest so far at 89.99, problem is US shipping and gst 10% on top so unless you want to see how much japanese retailers are going this is the best bet

    Received mine today and the outside packaging was dented on every side... like the post office had purposefully thrown every side of the box onto a corner of a table to put dents into it. Naturally when I opened it up the packaging is all smashed up, even though it was protected on all sides by foam. I haven't brought myself to inspect the bot for damage yet. Not happy given I was going to keep him MISB
