I hope that it's a one off and they stick with the current trend of figures being between $100AUD - $200AUD, otherwise, I feel I won't be the only one who will find themselves priced out of collecting.
More quantity/lower price over Lower quantity/higher price please.
I dont think its a one off since Dinobot and the two Megatrons are also above 200 AUD (i think even above 300 AUD)
Well above 300, I think they came in around 350. As much as I want BW Megatron, I simply do not have the money to drop on just one figure, regardless of how near perfect he is.

Suppose the price is accurate. Suppose he comes with the trailer. And what if he...combined with the trailer into Powermaster Optimus Prime? Still out?
That ... is a damn good question, and would have me rethinking my decision to not get him.
I've already got V1 (x2) and V2, so V3 would have to have something incredibly different to get me to drop the money on him, a Powermaster version is damn good incentive.
