    I’m not even the biggest movie fan, but I do love me some Blackout.

    I bought the original toy back in the day, and even if I don’t buy any others from this line, this one might be a nice statement piece.

    What took you so long to get here? :lolol 
    :lolol  :lolol 
    Actually, during AOE, my local Wal-Mart attached those clear plastic hook things they put on boxes sometimes when the thing that allows the box to hang on the peg is damaged to the Leader Grimlock boxes and hung them on the pegs. Just goes to show you how stupid Wal-Mart is.

    I HATE YOU!!!:cry :banghead: :scalper

    To anyone in New Zealand who is getting a Leader Class Blackout, Can I ask one small favor.



    If you plan to post pictures, can we see a size comparison with another Movie Leader Class? Any Movie Leader Class will do.

    Huh, of all the places to get it first. I found the Wave 2 POTP Legends figures at Farmers the other day, actually, but I have yet to see Wave 1 anywhere. Weird.

    Too bad it's NZ prices. They're charging something like NZ$105-110 for a Leader Class figure now (or $120 at Toy World, owned by TRU if anyone doesn't know).

    Like @ssjkazer said, Farmers only sell assortments online (so do The Warehouse - only Toy World and Mighty Ape sell each figure individually labelled, and both charge excessively insane amounts for them), so if you buy online, you're not guaranteed to get Blackout, just a Leader Class figure from the Studio Series. They don't appear to ship internationally but at least Mighty Ape will (not worth it though, Amazon is cheaper even for New Zealanders).

    I don't have any money nor do I want this Blackout (nor do I have any other movie Leader Class figures any more) so I can't help anyone out with photos or such (you know, unless someone wants to hook me up ;) ). There's a Farmers just down the road from me but it's a smaller store so there's probably nothing there. I could always go to a bigger store tomorrow and put up a video but, you know, no money. Guess everyone will just have to wait patiently.

    I do love how ignorant people are about New Zealand, and how salty some of the Americans are over this though. It amuses me greatly.

    Wait, are these your photos? Do you live in New Zealand?

    If it counts, I used to do them (will probably do them again eventually), but they were garbage so I stopped and deleted most of them. I'm not sure of any other NZer who does video reviews, if there is one at all.

    I could help you out but the real question is if you want to pay three times the US price (twice the price for the figure, plus approximately the cost of a Leader Class figure in the US for shipping). I recommend just waiting.
