EB Games has the highest prices but will price match even on preorders.

So, for Oz folks I recommend finding a cheaper price on the day and getting the price match.

That said, for the non-Oz readers, a "cheap" price in Oz (if not a loss leader at a chain store) is still in the realm of $65-70.

If EB has a decent pre-order bonus, I pre-order and then price match with a KMart/BigW/Target catalog to get the best of both worlds.

I think giants will be at least $20-22 each, lightcores probably $17-18

I say EB is the best to pre-order from just because you can then pick up the GDC Battle Pack Exclusive simultaneously. I price match literally everything I buy there.

Australian dollars aren't as strong as many other Caucasian countries. So $15 Aussie is cheaper then €10. Just a matter of perspective.

Glad heroic challenges are gone. Imagine doing 165 per skylander. That's 27225 challenges. No thank you.

Are you kidding? Oz dollar is higher than US or Canuck dollar and there are only (approx.) $A1.20 to 1 Euro.

Heck, in the old days it was roughly $A3 to a pound sterling; now it is in the realm of $A1.50.

Hence, the Aussie dollar is crazy strong right now.
