And it does (very rarely) happen that even in mainstream retail 'we' get something before the rest of the world. I remember in the late nineties I picked up TM2 Cheetor, Ramulus and Dinobot at some random K-Mart in Queensland, expecting that the toys would turn up everywhere else soon. They were released shortly afterwards in the US, but for some reason they didn't make it to Australian retail anywhere else for many months. Very odd.

I can also recall us being the first country in the world to find these movie/allspark figures...

Maybe they're finally throwing us a bone...

Proof that he's been released:



The wave actually also includes Ironhide which some lucky bugger had reserved behind hte counter. I have no idea how that other guy was so quick given lcz128 broke the news here. Acid Storm's also available too.

I probably shouldn't have grabbed him but at least now I have the twins which was my lame justification for not waiting for the mass release.

I caved in as well and picked up Sideswipe, Silverstreak and Swoop at Minotaur.

I hate you both...

Maybe that other guy who reserved 'ol Ironhide was a lurker we've got in the midst...

[lcz128]

damn. Didn't see ironhide at all. Would've gotten him at the $30 mark... then repainted the hell out of him...

*embarassed*

STL, is my eyes deceiving me or does Sideswipe roof paint apps looks darker than the rest of the body?

[i_amtrunks]

linky.

I hope its just the lighting as the color difference is much greater than that of Sunstreaker.

Does Sideswipe have a new head or is it the same head as Sunstreaker but with the Antenna's 'transformed' and unpainted?

Edit:

Aside from the chrome, is the color scheme different than the Henkei:

I am mainly referring to that black stripe on the sides that Henkei has.
