Toyfair Australia 2011 TFs display

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

A Super Secret item that they decided to hide from public display when I got there, and made me promise not to even say what it is until it is confirmed sometime in the next few weeks. But it is BIG... big news... something that isn't going to be released in America! Stay tuned for an update in the coming weeks

Transformers Animated Season 3??????????

Worried about the price tag for this, wonder if he will shelfwarm.

It's TRU man. Expect it to be a LOT

Griff, were you able to snap any pics of other Hasbro items, such as Marvel?

They had on display some Thor and Captain America toys, but the photos I posted were all I was allowed to take this year. Hasbro US said no photos, but our local marketing manager was nice enough to let me take those above.

I'm not surprised by the American reaction, A lot of them come across as not even knowing that a world exists outside of America - Hell they spat the dummy over Australia getting the Premiere Airing of the 1st Movie...
You watch, they'll have a big song and dance and it'll turn out that we aren't getting an exclusive figure but something less tangible like a Hasbro Australia Store or something.

Looking forward to the Super Optimus Prime with trailer!

Those Wrecker NASCARs look good too!

I wondered if the "secret" exclusive might be a non-toy licensed Transformers merchandise, like those wicked Easter tins. Bin the chocolate eggs though, they're nasty low-grade.

Man, that Camaro is beautiful... What I would give to own a 2011 SS

Glad you managed to sneak some photos before they stopped you Griffin. When and where was this toy fair held? Sorry haven't been keeping up with everything here lately.

But thanks for the photos and sharing! The new packaging for DOTM reminds me of some of the other Robot toys out there like the mecha robots or something.

Are some of the toys similar to the other figures from the previous movie series? Optimus prime with the trailer looks really massive. Is he the same size as Ultimate bumblebee or bigger?

Toyfair was on last weekend. They usually have it in March at the Melbourne Convention Centre.
Most of the toys are new, but expect a fair few redecos from previous Movies thrown in.
The big Optimus is more about Devastator size.

The Big Optimus wasn't that big! :P
The 'wings' give an illusion of size.
However, unless that was a prototype, when combined it didn't have any articulation at all.
