Courtesy of Seibertron.com board admin Burn, we have confirmation of the Decepticon founder arriving down under without too much to wait compared to elsewhere in the world. Check out the image below, taken at a Toys'R'Us in Cairns, priced at AUS$ 89.99 (approx US $69) - and maybe join Australian fans in weeping over the retail price of MP Ultra Magnus, too (approx US $ 230).
Remember, to help out your fellow fans and collectors, make sure to flag any sighting of this or other toys in the regional forum boards here, and in our ever-growing database here!

Just to have an idea if it's just the toys and video games that are expensive in australia, or if it's EVERYYTHING, can you tell me something?
-- The average price of a mass-produced 650g loaf of bread in Australian $.
-- The average price of one liter of 2% milk in Australian $.
-- Also, the minimum wage in AUS$/h.
For reference, in Canada, the bread cost around 3.50$CAN and the milk is around 2.50$CAN. And the minimum wage is 10.35$/h for Quebec.
Knowing those 3 facts give a good idea of what is the cost of living in each parts of the world.

This might help for prices - min wage is AU$16.87. Also note all prices are inclusive of tax, unlike over on your continent.
Milk (regular), (1 liter) 1.42 A$
Loaf of Fresh White Bread (500g) 2.79 A$
That is not what makes Australian an expensive place to live. Housing prices have gone up something like 600% while wages have hardly moved. There has been an unprecedented number of families losing their houses in the last 10 years which has forced more people into renting and that has seen landlords raising rental prices due to higher demand. That has made having a place to live difficult to say the least.-Kanrabat- wrote:prjkt wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:Burn wrote:Still worked out cheaper to import it directly from Japan.

Just pointing out that non-candy food does not have tax over here.

Holy F... From now on, I forbid you Aussies to ever complain about the price of toys.
I mean, damn! It took me 10 years to land on a salary bracket that is just a few cents below the Australian MINIMUM wage!

Then there is electricity, a previous government allowed a few overseas companies come in and do a heap of un-needed upgrades to our network. Then to recoup their costs they raise prices (by 6% I think) every year and a metre box was added to many houses to supposedly help prices drop but it just let power companies double prices. I noticed one family have their 3 - 4 month bill go from $400 to $800 from one bill to the next. There are many people here who can no longer afford to run a fridge because then they can't pay their rent.
We also have a completely screwed up tax system.
