Which is why, in one of the recently announced OTCA Competitions :D, I chose Voyager Prime as my likely 1st TF: Prime Voyager figure that I'd purchase; the odds of getting your hands on a Voyager Bulkhead figure are 1 in 4, a very poor choice of case assortment IMO. :mad:

Therefore, I don't know how feasible a Group Order involving the Voyager Assortment would be. :(

In March, Cartoon Network will re-run the series again.

I just set my Fox IQ to record TF:Prime today and it appears that we will be getting all 5 parts of Darkness Rising back to back :)

Damn. When I saw it was underlined, I thought it might be a hyperlink to those less desirable means. Do you mean torrents, or importing the Walmart DVD?

For those who have only been in the country for the last nine years... what happened to BM?

Beast Machines wasn't shown on Free-to-Air TV in Australia, only on Pay TV, and it was the days before sites like YouTube and other video sharing tools existed so a lot of people missed the cartoon. And with many negative reviews online from the US fans, it became easy to be unfairly biased against the show without even seeing it. I didn't see the show until the DVDs came out here locally many years later, and found it not as bad as I had been led to believe.

Because only kids (or collectors) with PayTV could watch it when the toy was, and PayTV was less common than today, it may have an impact on the toys not selling very well here (but the ugly Beast modes was also a likely a big reason too).

March... looks like I'll be ordering one or two from the US then.

Do you think we will se prime on iTunes like it is in the states????

Either suggestion is acceptable dude, one will cost a lot and the other will cost even more if successfully prosecuted. :o
