A shame Amazon doesn't seem at this stage to have any special versions planned - I quite liked getting my Grimlock statue with the last one.

Australia is on 4th October according to jbhifi

I'll just wait for the 20% blu ray special at JB Hifi :cool:

[griffin]

It feels really early (September 26th for the physical copy, September 12th for digital version).
Then again, looking back, it isn't that much earlier (for the physical copy in America).
TF1 - October 16th
TF2 - October 20th
TF3 - September 30th
TF4 - September 30th

Australia is/was usually about a month after that.

[DELTAprime]

Australia is/was usually about a month after that.

Not sure of the percentages but some media get released same week or day everywhere and others get released seemingly at random in different regions. I really don't understand why this still happens. It just increases people buying from foreign regions which means money leaves the country or resorting to piracy which means no money is made at all.

Transformers: The Last Knight 4K and 3D Blu-ray

Paramount Home Media Distribution has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray 3D Blu-rayand Blu-ray director Michael Bay’s blockbuster’s Transformers: The Last Knight. The groundbreaking adventure will also be available as part of the Transformers’ 5-Movie Blu-ray Collection. All four releases will be available for purchase on September 26.
Transformers: The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock). There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.
The latest installment in the global TRANSFORMERS franchise stars Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter) and features a sensational supporting cast including Josh Duhamel (Transformers), Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games), Anthony Hopkins (“Westworld”), Isabela Moner (“100 Things to Do Before High School”), Laura Haddock (Guardians of the Galaxy), Santiago Caberera (“Salvation”), and Jerrod Carmichael (“The Carmichael Show”).
The Transformers: The Last Knight 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D Combo Packs include a bonus disc with over 80 minutes of behind-the-scenes content and interviews. Travel to Cybertron to explore the Transformers home world, then visit the UK to delve into the locations used to bring the epic adventure to life. In addition, go inside the secret mythology of the legendary robots in disguise, check out the incredible vehicles used in the film and much, much more.

[griffin]

One of the store exclusive versions of the 5th Movie for Australia has been revealed - at JB Hifi for $70.

It is noted as being a VR Edition (with 2 VR goggles), which might mean that it includes as bonus extras, the various clips that Bay shot with the 360 degree camera, that we saw posted online during the leadup to the release of the movie.
It is not expected to be the actual movie in 360 VR.

What are the extra features on the bonus DVD?

[griffin]

The US ToysRUs exclusive edition has been revealed (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/04/transformers-last-knight-blu-ray-combo-pack-blu-raydvddigital-hd-comic-book-347827) to include an exclusive "Mission to Cybertron" comic.

[griffin]

Walmart Canada have revealed their exclusive edition (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/04/transformers-last-knight-walmart-ca-exclusive-blu-ray-gift-set-die-cast-vehicles-347834), which comes packed with two diecast vehicles (Movie Bumblebee and Optimus, in alternate colours).

These could be Simba-Dickie diecast vehicles, as they are too small for the Jada licensed vehicles... and I wasn't aware that Simba-Dickie had produced Movie vehicles yet (I've only seen the RID ones, which we have at Target and BigW here).

[griffin]

Best Buy in America also has an exclusive release, with a steelbook case (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/05/transformers-last-knight-steelbook-edition-best-buy-exclusive-347850).

Most companies that are near death tend to use ZipPay and Afterpay I've noticed.;)

[griffin]

A few other versions and exclusive releases in America have been listed (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/06/transformers-last-knight-home-video-master-list-347910)... for anyone here looking to import one that isn't released here.

[griffin]

Looks like the first four movies will be released here in Australia (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/11/transformers-4-live-action-films-coming-4k-blu-ray-australia-348776) in 4K UHD format in November, to go with the same release format of the fifth movie.

And to promote the release of the 5th Movie on DVD and as a digital download in America, a new behind-the-scenes video has been released (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EQbhxb9itY), featuring some of the actors during the filming of the Stonehenge scenes.

[griffin]

Another behind the scenes video (http://www.cbr.com/transformers-the-last-knight-battle-scene/) from CBR website, of the medieval battle.

And one about Merlin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85yUESInB0)... which was played by Stanley Tucci.

[griffin]

The UK release dates have been announced (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/15/transformers-last-knight-uk-home-media-trailer-release-date-349095) as October 16th for digital download, and October 30th for DVD/BR release.

[griffin]

Going through rounds of set characters being paired off, Paramount on their movie facebook (https://www.facebook.com/transformersmovie/) and their movie website (http://www.transformersmovie.com/fanfavorite/), are doing a quick fan-vote of favourite characters (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-the-last-knight-character-tournament-on-facebook-live/39572/) to help promote the release of the movie on digital and DVD/BR.

It's set up like a tennis tournament, with one of each pair being eliminated before the next round... resulting in the winning Autobot taking on the winning Decepticon. (which is likely to be Optimus Vs Megatron... with the Autobot leader winning... but this is just for a bit of short-lived fun for the general public to play with)

[griffin]

A promotional item in America for the DVD/BR release - a drawstring bag freebie at a recent Airforce show (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/17/transformers-last-knight-drawsting-backpack-giveaway-349159).

Just an update on buying tf:tlk bluray from sanity.com.au ...
They have Sanity Exclusive Collector Art Cards with it , i do not know what type of collector cards they are though.

[griffin]

In the US, Target have an added bonus on their exclusive edition - the Machinima Combiner Wars cartoon (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/26/machinimas-combiners-wars-series-included-last-knight-target-exclusive-blu-ray-349678).

And it looks like Paramount in America sent to the TFW admin, a copy of (every?) version of the American TF5 DVD/BR release (including store exclusives), and even though they had posted up a listing (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/09/06/transformers-last-knight-home-video-master-list-347910) earlier this month, they have posted up a video of the various versions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOM5VfHAeEQ).
(the DVD/BR is out now in America)
