Wonder if we'll see it??
The gold makes him look sexy...
...whether he's sexy enough to justify spending money on him is the question.
BBTS is advertising that they have secured joint-exclusive rights to these two toys, and will release them February 1st.
It doesn't look like they are pre-selling these either as I couldn't see them on pre-order, so I'm not sure why they aren't... considering they take pre-orders on rumours just to get pre-emptive sales.
The integration of the Kanji for "horse" into the Autobot and Decepticon logos is interesting. Uh... yeah, that's about all that interests me about these toys. I wish they'd release stickers of those horse-themed logos. :o
do you guys think they'll re-release the TRU MP10 again in Aus or should i just get this to satisfy my MP10 desires?
It's interesting to note that on the brown shipping carton, it says "do not release before 1 feb" but the Asian sources are releasing them for sale.
I do not understand the appeal of these repaints at all. Prime in particular looks like horse-manure. Pure garbage.
Given the nature of their relationship, BBTS actually obeys the street dates / release dates given by Hasbro. That's why they aren't taking orders yet or giving pricing, because they are not allowed to. That's also why they sometimes lag behind in getting up pre-orders for Generations figures.Quote:

Maybe they didn't get more than a couple dozen figures, and putting them up for pre-order to sell out in minutes would make that obvious.
beats me dude, I am in the same boat, technically if they release mp-10 without the trailer I buy it. I cannot be stuffed with the whole thing and just want prime standing in my display cabinet. And no, not referring to black version.Quote:

BBTS have preorders available
Optimus $119.99

Starscream $99.99
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...26&mode=retail
Ohh, I want the YOTH Starscream. Because... well, it's Starscream. :)
Fingers crossed he shows up at K-Mart. :D
Noticed on both package boxes from RK have the statement: Distributed in Australia by Hasbro Australia Ltd..........
Is this an indication that it will eventually make its way to Australian Retail stores?
No. Its on all the US packaging by default.
Are we able to add a sticky for that question?
Every time i tried to use the FAQ, i got no matches in the fields :confused:
I found that so odd, as when a friend went to america and brought me some stuff back. I was like, did you really go to America? Why does it say Australia all over the bottom of the packaging :DQuote:

YOTH OP has shown up in Toys R Us in the UK as reported on TFW here.
Both are listed in the TRU systems here alsoQuote:

And from the sounds of things, finding one shouldnt be difficult ;)
^ $129? Sounds like I can wait for one and custom paint, only the gold autobot logo on the body will be more of a chellange.
Ouch! That pricing seriously undercuts what I paid (+ shipping) at RK earlier this month. Headbutts wall repeatedly. :pQuote:

Take it easy.
Sweet. Now I can definitely afford it. The funds are in hand. :) Any indication of time for TRU's release here?
Chimungmung now has YOTH OP. Price is a whopping US$149.90 + US$42 shipping to Australia.
^ that's the normal price on Ebay basically and in fact Ebay has raised the price for it. As this is a non critical piece, I think I will just wait for it. Very likely I am not even going to touch the trailer. lol
Wonder if they would use Grimlock mp as one of the series animals. If fits the category with the bling bling.
I got my pair today, and was surprised that the Optimus has all the bits except Roller and Spike for some reason.
That was a surprise to me. I didn't notice that they were absent in news postings.
I can understand Spike being left out, but I'm not sure why Roller was left out.
BTW, the electronic sounds for Starscream are different to the Cybertron toy. The TFCybertron toy had just one sound, while this one has 4 sound effects that play randomly with the push of the button.
That's pretty cool to hear, shows they didn't just simply repaint the figure - of which is exactly what they could've done. :eek:Quote:

Thank you for your email.
FYI
There are plans for a limited release of this product distributed to Myer stores on the 26th of February 2014.
Unfortunately, we cannot control when the stores put the item on the shelves. For Example; there may be a catalogue that is being distributed that may include this item. Therefore, the product will not go onto the shelves until the catalogue release.
You may need to contact the stores head office to find out when the product will be in store.
Regards
Can you guys dig further? I done the hard bits.
