    If Leaders cost $450, what does other items cost. Is everything super high or is it just imported luxery items like toys. Frankly if things cost that much, I'm surprised they even bothered to sell them since I would think the amount of buyers would be extreemly few and far between. Also, what is the average wage there? Is it pretty high that $450 doesn't seem as bad? Maybe I'm wrong (& don't mean any offense) but I never thought Sri Lanka was a particulary 'rich' country.

    Actually, that's not all. If anyone sees these on the shelf, would you mind finding out what Prime says?

    Where can I see some images of Movie Activators, I didn't even know they existed!

    As for what's available Down Under, I'm only interested in Drift and Legends Ravage (he's out, right?) I know I won't be getting anything new for a while though, my local retailers don't stock well :(

    Holy crap, we actually get something first?!?! Usually half of the TF stuff available doesn't even come out here, let alone us getting before anyone else.


    Nice to hear someone thinks we have cool accents, thanks dude. Although I do find our accents to be out of place in hollywood movies, eg. Sam Worthington.

    It just sounds weird hearing an Aussie accent when everyone else has American ones.

    I have to disagree with you on 'cool' there...the stereotypical Australian accent is really grating to me, mainly because I've never met anyone who speaks with it in my life! The only people I've ever known to have that stupid accent is Steve Irwin and Cybertron Jetfire.

    That said, it makes me happy to know that Aussie's finally getting some stuff before Americans. Should make up for the utter lack of Human Alliance.

    Somehow I'm guessing we'll see these stateside in a few weeks. Though I'm sure Aussie scalpers are making one hell of a pay day off these thanks to people who have too much money and too little patience.

    The good news is that we'll be getting them soon.

    The bad news, is probably other countries get them first(?)

    Considering the price I think i'll wait, thanks for the heads up!
