New update on upcoming AUS exclusives - late 2010/early 2011
Once again, the people at Hasbro have been generous enough to share some info on upcoming store exlusives here. So a big thankyou for taking the time to go through this huge listing. :)
Note - Only the responses in blue of yes and no are from Hasbro. Anything listed as 'no' relates to items that shouldn't be released here, particularly through Hasbro. This doesn't prevent a store from direct importing product (like the PCC bonus pack), or being offered left-over stock later. And as usual, details can change at any time due to circumstances beyond their control.
