Please take this seriously.
It is a great opportunity for us to find out at least some useful info from Hasbro (like what we need to import because it isn't expected here), and it is something that they certainly don't need to do.
when/will ramjet, skywarp, fearswoop, blue truck, nest BB SW two pack, devestator legends, other exclusive be released in Aus?
also will the mail-away figure be available to australians?
and who might it be for those of us who wont be able to claim it?
Sorry i mean besides the confirmed figures, like will there be more???Quote:

Q3 - What is the nature of the relationship between Hasbro AU and Hasbro US, and the other international arms of Hasbro?
Q4 - When and why was the decision made to source product from the US and not from Europe?
Q5 - As the AU$ edges towards parity to the US$, can we hope to see a closer parity of retail prices to discourage collectors from importing the much cheaper foreign toys?
US Transformers Qs
Q1 - The TF1 Deluxe '76 Camaro Bumblebee had many re-releases in various boxsets, sometimes with minor variations, but never a major redeco unlike most of the TF1 figures. Are there any reasons for that?
Q2 - Some of the exclusives such as Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm, and Universe Autobot Ambush, have comic books. Comics and bios can make a character much more interesting. Surely this adds and creates an incentive to collect other toys. Have their been any plans to include mini comics and collectible bio cards with a future series of transformers, especially for example the Universe series which are not supported by a Cartoon?
Q3 - Some toys were not released in certain countries in past lines. E.g. in the original (G1) line, Swoop was not released in the UK, and Shockwave was never released here (at least to my knowledge). The reasons for this and other such nonreleases don't seem readily obvious to me. Why has this been so?
Q4 - Will Hasbro be releasing the White (Movie) Demolishor and Red Rampage toys that TakaraTomy are doing?
Q5 - Any chance of seeing a Hasbro release of the Device Label products (USBs, Mouse, etc)?
GIJoe Qs
Q1 - With the oversupply of Wave 1 and 2 figures, will we see any Wave 3 or 4 figures in Australia?
(are you able to give out any figure/assortment/wave details for collectors to know exactly what they need to import over the next few months?)
Q2 - Do you expect there to be any other waves released before year end? Wave 5, which has just been released in America for example, contans City Strike Duke and Jungle Ripcord, or will those of us who prefer not to import toys have to wait until after Christmas?
Q3 - Will we also get the Pursuit of Cobra line.
It's too early to ask this question, as they've only recently had listed Skywarp as TBC for Australia. When we know an approximate release date for US Hasbro, I'll see if Hasbro AU will be aiming to do the same.Quote:
