The Australian Toy, Hobby and Licensing Fair is on next week from Sunday March 4th at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and once again, Ozformers will be there to cover the Transformers exhibit, for the eleventh year in a row.
And just like the last two years, we will be hosting a special exclusive fan-meet with Hasbro Australia, to reveal to the world for the first time officially, three Transformers toys.
Last year it was Slugslinger and Misfire.
The year before it was Astrotrain, Galvatron and Ravage.
Who will it be this year?
Stay tuned to our facebook page and our messageboard for the first reveals on Sunday afternoon.
But... if you live in Melbourne, you have a chance to join us, to be one of the first fans in the world to officially play with these three Transformers toys, and help us spread the word, photos and videos to the rest of the world via social media.
The first four people (must be over 15) who reply here to say that they will attend Sunday afternoon, will be selected.... but you MUST attend, because if you take up a space and not show up, you won't eligible for future fan events. It just wouldn't be fair to all of the people who miss out.
Those four people will then be given location & time details by Saturday, of the fan event, and those details must not be revealed to anyone else.
If you miss out on a place here, there are also four spots on offer at the Australian Transformers Club facebook page (the selection method there is at the discretion of their admin of course), and four spots on offer at the Ozformers facebook page.
With 3 or 4 Ozformers staff in attendance as well, this should mean having about 15 fans sharing in this exclusive event.
(I wish it could be open to everyone, but we have limited space and resources, and we don't want anything to go missing if we have too many people to monitor.)
Rules are simple and obvious - no stealing or intentional breaking of their toys... do not bring anyone who is not on the list, as you both will be turned away... and if Hasbro has any special rules or requests on the day, they must be adhered to.
We want this to continue each year without anyone spoiling it, as it is very generous of Hasbro America to not show these toys at the New York Toyfair, just to send them to Australia for us to reveal to the world for them. So far we look to be the only country outside of America that they allow for an official, public, global reveal of Hasbro Transformers toys, and we would like to keep that trust they have in us Australian fans.
Since this is really last minute notification from them, and they can only spare 30 minutes before the close of Sunday, there needs to be a disclaimer that as a worst case scenario, this could just end up being a fan meet and dinner if Hasbro are too busy to be able to get away from the Toyfair... but we won't know that until Sunday 4pm.
