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

People hoped the same for Dinobot but that turned out to not be true. That is the price per figure, not the price of the case.
MP Beast Wars Megatron is $320 USD https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... on/hse4006
This toy would be $100 more which makes sense if it is the same size as Megatron and comes with a ton of stuff including a trailer. It would not make sense to cost less than MP Megatron.
Anyways, the price on Amazon Japan will be $310 which is less than what the domestic release of MP BW Megatron costs. Obviously we are looking at different markets, but I just wanted to show that the price is not that far off from what we have seen so far and it fits (way more than $220 does).

I'll pay anything when those Armada MP figures start coming out though

To put things into perspective, would it be priced roughly the same as similar items from other companies? NOT talking "Third Party" here, but from high profile direct competitors.

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)

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?

Evidence: The front of the box has hinges on the edges. It doesn't need them for the repair bot gimmick.
Also, and this is less convincing, there appears to be too much junk hanging down under the trailer. From the shadows it appears there's more under there than the outriggers.
So yeah, might not be PMOP. But I think there might be more than meets the eye.

I mean the hinges at the corners. Like the back doors. Except on the front. They're more visible in the other good trailer pic.
If the trailer has a gimmick where it just opens up flat, that's probably not worth the $150 extra. But maybe there's something there.
