$40 for a voyager? $25 for a deluxe ? Thats a sale ? How much is a pack of gum in Australia? 5 bucks ? Or is this crazy price gouging only done with toys ?

I want to know why the $100 difference on YotG Prime. $199 AUS is about $154 USD. (He normally sells for like $140 in the US) Why does it normally cost $100 extra?!?!

Don't forget about conversion rates. $25 AUS is less than $20 USD (which isn't that much higher than the $17 most stores have them for.) Plus the extra shipping to that country compared to the US. Doesn't sound that over the top.Rated X wrote:$40 for a voyager? $25 for a deluxe ? Thats a sale ? How much is a pack of gum in Australia? 5 bucks ?

$40 AUD = $31.05 USD
$25 AUD = $19.41 USD
Australia's only slightly higher than our U.S. prices. It's not that different from the hiked up Toys 'R' Us U.S. prices.

Seriously guys, we do NOT need another thread littered with discussion about the price variances from country to country. Drop it please.

Seibertron stopped sending me notifications on this thread a few weeks ago. I come back, and KABLOOEY!!!
Shajaki posted this some time back, but I was just floored by how discounted this is:
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11787&mode=retail
Also, is anyone else contemplating picking up MP-05G Gold Megatron from TFsource JUST for Reflector?
On the flip side, has anyone bought MP-05G and NOT want Reflector? Because I'll buy it.

As for Goldytron, I bought a MISB one from Lena on the cheap and it's pretty neat. Unfortunately it didn't come with a Reflector though, so I'm stuck hunting for one still

That Grim was so overpriced to begin with, and was subsequently dwarfed by the TT widespread reissue AND Hasbro's 2014 reissue.megatronus wrote:Shajaki posted this some time back, but I was just floored by how discounted this is:

When will HTS finally make shipping reasonable for Canadians and make the sales codes WORK for us?

Dunno. If there's someone who understands the business aspect of it, I'd like to hear a theory. I understand expensive shipping (its the fault of CP & USPS) but why not give the same codes to us?-Kanrabat- wrote:When will HTS finally make shipping reasonable for Canadians and make the sales codes WORK for us?

Four our Canadian asses, HTS use FedEx by default. And it's 30$ minimum for a single Kreo. More expensive as you add stuff.

Not just for it, but yeah I'm considering that one pretty seriously. It's exactly the kind of weird toy I need more of. Thanks for the link, had kind of forgotten about this one

"Non-transforming" basically removes any urge I'd have to get it just for Reflector.

It's a tiny die-cast Reflector, in the style of the non-transforming miniature Megatron gun that comes with MP Soundwave and Coronation Starscream. It's a neat little accessory; I see no issue here.
