I can now reveal the latest job that I've done for Hasbro AU, which was adapting MP18B blue Bluestreak as a character called "Blue Heeler." Here is his profile:
APRIL FOOLS!!!

Price is $100.
Australia is said to receive a very limited stock, only 50 figures, and it's first in best dressed.

After the Star Saber comments, I can't imagine what the *expletive*storm this would create had it been true haha

Pre-order cancelled. Much prefer to buy local and I'll take my chances on the 50 units. Thanks for the heads-up Goki :)

Very well done sir. Was reading this in bed at midnight and my first thought was "hmmmm nah still want the Takara version" then my eyes adjusted to the light and I saw the April Fool's and face palmed for it not dawning on me sooner...

WHAT??? It's a prank??? Un-cancelling my overseas preorders...

A (not so) wise man once said:
“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

Did the pre-order page link not give it away? ;)

Also if you click and drag your mouse over the original post, it says "APRIL FOOLS!" in large bold font -- it's spoiler tagged. :p And take a close look at the "product code" for this toy...

Bugger. Cancelled my pre-order with RK based on this news and now I can't re-order as someone else nabbed it already. No Bluestreak or Blue Heeler for me :(

Only on Ozformers could this have happened. Blue Heeler is a uniquely Australian colloquialism and the Latin quote is a Gok thing.

Gotcha. Click this, drag that, decipher coded message. My head hurts.

I'm off to Mt Thomas to see if one is available for preorder.

Well done Goki, such a package would totally convince me to buy this version of the mold! :D
