2 months agoNo, and it took years for the index to make it down officially too. One of the reasons I remember hearing was that for any warranty or repairs the detective unit would’ve had to have been shipped all the way to the US and back again which can easily be some $100 in postage for the round trip.
Eventually it became available thru EB Games (think Aus Gamestop) who I imagine can act as a intermediary and send units up in batches rather than one at a time
Well there you go. We also have Woolworths, Target, and Kmart still more or less thriving (certainly more than their northern brethren)
