I asked Hasbro AUS today if there will be any licensed Transformers Easter items this year, and they replied to say that none of their usual licensees took up the option this year.
It explains why I wasn't able to find anything while checking out stores in the last few weeks.
(it's the first time in about five years we haven't had something for Easter... and I don't think we had anything at Christmas last year either, other than the advent calendar)

Thats a shame - we've usually gotten at least a few Op & Bbee movie tins.

Last year I had to laugh - from Audi I got a "Transformers Easter Egg with Fun Yo-Yo" :D. The Yo-Yo had plastic cover witha little ball bearing in it, but no maze to put the ball through :rolleyes:

I think the mug would of been egg cup size this year anyway :D
Griffin did a comparison of the last three mugs and I think the sizes decreased by around 50ml each year :confused:

You know what, unless they are going to make use of a creative license and actually bring out something of interest and not just recycle ideas each year, I can honestly say that I won't miss any Easter merch on the shelves.

Second year in a row (and not important enough for a whole new topic).... from an email to Hasbro - no licensed Easter stuff this year.

I've got to say I agree with this.

I've been looking for a couple weeks and seen nothing, this is obviously the reason.
