Firstly, a big thanks to the office of fair trading for REMOVING lead Optimus Prime's from the showbags. BOOOH!

(Because you know, lead only affects the developing brain, so we adults would have been fine. Most kids are a little slow anyway, right? :P )

For those still interested, there are TWO (2) showbags, one for Optimus Prime and one for Bumbles!

and apparently a dodgy Transformer Action Force warriors with generic toys (no clear pics of content)

I really wasn't fancying going to the Ekka and picking up a dose of swine flu (OCD germ phobia makes it a little difficult), but gee - a bumblebee backpack is awfully tempting......

If there's anyone in Bris that is going, and would be happy to onsell, I'm sure there would be interest from interstate fans over this as well. Certainly enough to help pay for admission and snacks.

Just had another look at the fair trading article. Looks like the showbag was Mega Transformers, but the artwork looks little Armada minicons. Maybe there is a showbag that the brisbane.com.au isn't advertising, that also has other transforming robots (not official Hasbro) ?


Wait just found it on their sight - describes a Transforming ship set, gun and sword.

Also, Honda Asimo showbag (I'm sure I don't have to explain this one to rabid trans fans)

Anyone who knows who I work for and wants a cheaper parking option, pm me. :)

As for the lead toys, looked like the typical "transformers" show bags they've always had since I was a kid, full of knockoffs.
