Expected it maybe, but nobody wanted it. Try again.

Many wanted it, and a few years ago some people paid double-triple what this figure costs to get essentially the same thing from the club.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

I collect voyager Screamers so I might get him for that shelf, but he's not that impressive.

I'm still kinda confused whether purple exists on movie Barricade at all. Some figures have purple (2007 Deluxe, the Human Alliance, Robot Replica, DotM Deluxe), but MPM has bright blue and Studio Series has just black in those places. Some renders of the cgi model show a more subtle dark blue/purple that's almost as black as the rest of him while others have it a more stronger blue
As for that Siege Barricade, it's just another in a long line of Autobots and Decepticons sharing the same body and face. Something I really hate in Transformers as it makes no sense for them to do so without a specific reason.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned this yet, but the Cybertronian "Police" writing on Barricade's doors is done in the Autobot alphabet, not the Decepticon one. I'm assuming this is just an oversight in the CGI render. They probably just neglected to change that overlay from Prowls when they did the palette, head, and weapon swaps.

Where is this Walmart located?

All of the script used, whether it be on the boxes or the figures, has always been Autobot. BotCon 2009 Banzai-Tron has his motto on the hull, in Autobot script:
Transformers Convention & Club Exclusives Banzai-Tron Gallery
All to avoid confusion and to streamline things I guess. Pick one and stick with it

The 'Autobot' language is clearly a pre-existing Cybertronian language which goes before the Great War and the Decepticon language is a wartime 'conlang' used to speak in codes. /fanwank
