Target Australia Transformers exclusives

[FFN]

Hey guys, in an effort to keep the wiki from being so relentlessly Americentric*, I wish to compile a list of Target Australia's TF exclusives, since the Target Australia seems to have a somewhat similar relationship with Hasbro AU that Target USA has with Hasbro US.

Does anybody remember what exclusives they received? Thanks

*Bloody yanks.

The OTCA Australian Transformers Toy Release Checklist (http://www.otca.com.au/checklist.html) isn't currently linked off the main page, but it's still on the server.

Do a search for 'exclusive' and you will find lists of the various Au exclusive releases. It hasn't been updated for a while but the back-lists for previous years are linked from there too. There was another contemporary list too but I can't find it... :confused:

Straight off the bat I can tell you MP-4 and MP Magnus were Target exclusives here. That's all I know.

When was the MP Magnus sold here?

Thanks for the answer.

And no wonder I missed it, I wasn't actively collecting at the time. Ah well.

GAH i'm in utter denial that Magnus was sold here.
I wasn't collecting at the time either in 2005 when it was apparently released but i was totally, totally stunned when i saw a whole shelf of MP-04's in a target 3 hours form the closest city.

I, too, was stunned when I saw the MP04s at my local Target store. The day before I bought it, I had heard that they were selling MP Prime so I went in to see for myself, expecting it to be the Hasbro MP Prime at a grossly inflated price.

I was gobsmacked to see it was the Takara MP04 instead. I simply couldn't believe it. I remember hauling one off the shelf and then deciding I should get two since the opportunity to get a second one for such a cheap-by-Aussie-standards price might never avail itself again.

Would love to see the other MPs sold here one day. With the economy as it is right now, it's simply too expensive for me to order them off the 'net. I remember having to cancel my BBTS MP Magnus pre-order with great sadness late last year because of the economy nose-diving.
