It's like asking why DotM Voyager Prime didn't get a trailer.
I don't care if he gets a toy with a trailer or not. Hardly something to demand.

I would go out on a limb here and suggest that fans would be all over a TFP Prime trailer more so that those crappy Arms Microns which no one asked for and dont appear in the show.
If Hasbro fail to release a trailer, should Prime haul it around with him again, then perhaps a 3rd Party will step up such as Dr Wu and give us something to easy our wanton desires!

I agree completely. We pay up to $30 for a figure which may cost the US Market $17. Considering the Australian dollar is worth 1.05 US and that the same product is getting shipped from China a shorter distance, we truly are getting the rough end of the deal

Too true! Voyagers on the shelf are around $50!

Don't worry about sidetracking, they're all big boys. Can you imagine how many transformers we'd have if we payed US prices? Two-for-One, can't get better than that

I can do more than imagine! I take full advantage of BBTS's PoL feature, leaving toys there for months at a time and shipping in one big batch. In the end, with the shipping costs, it still works out cheaper than buying em in store.
I've run out of space and still I keep the damn things Unfortunately that means most of my collection is packed up in the wardrobe.

It's quite sad when you think about it, we can order off BBTS, pay international shipping and still get it cheaper than walking into ourl local toys r us. and it's not just Transformers either, a 3 and 3/4 inch Star Wars figure for $17? Come on..

I don't know about other Asian countries, but Malaysia also suffers from serious price mark-ups. Take ROTF deluxe figs for instance--what would have only cost 12 USD in the US, costs 20 dollars here. You read that right; nearly double the price.

That sucks
I should've been a bit clearer before, meant that NZ doesn't get the mark-ups. Was watching a news report a while back about it.
