2011 Hasbro AUS checklist for MOVIE toys

[griffin]

Yes, many hours over several weeks, researching the various toys not already on the listing, finding all those pics from various sources, editting/combining images into single pics, and creating a listing so each toy is specifically numbered to keep it neat.
It will make for a good archive, and as long as I and others get to use them, it wont be wasted.

Leader (US$245 - AU$90-100)

if only

Added a couple of items from new bbts listings - Legion wave 3 & Activators wave 2.

Plus added links to our own images of most of the initial release figures (which can be used for Toy Review postings).

For all the non-Movie toys for 2011 - go to this checklist.
US Walmart - (Voyager + Deluxe)[/COLOR] (May) (US$?? - AU$??) OUT
[COLOR=black] Optimus Prime w/ Commettor
(Auto - Battleblade 'space' redeco) w/ (Auto - Landmine redeco)

I got a good indication today that this will be showing up in Kmart....

[griffin]

What sort of indication?

This list is really good and helpful. I was wondering of some of the Legion class were just repaints and now I know. Was Mudflap for sure a new figure?

Stealth Force Deluxe
- - Wave 1 (??)
Big Hoss (Monster Truck) (rerelease - Auto)

There's also a Starscream which I saw today in Canada with Big Hoss. No idea if it was a redeco or new but was in DOTM packaging.

Okay.

Pics of Mudflap that are on the Hasbro TFs site (the images I've already included in the listing) is completely different to the ones I have.

I'll look into the Stealth Force Starscream and update the list... I'm just not putting too much effort into the Speed Stars section before BotCon (and very few here care or collect Speed Stars anyway).

[Sky Shadow]

Human Alliance (Deluxe) (US$30 - AU$??)

Leadfoot (Wrecker - red racecar) w/ Steeljaw (lion) (Auto new)
[COLOR=black]

Hmm... I know our department stores are pretty oblivious at times, but does anyone think that K Mart, Myer, Big W and David Jones might have issues with selling Human Alliance Leadfoot?

[griffin]

It depends on how it is packaged, or how obvious the Target logo is in the packaging. This is why it has been suggested that the Deluxe Leadfoot is bound to be a store exclusive, because the Target Logo would be facing up through the bubble, which would be more obvious than a HA packaging (which has the vehicle side on when displayed.

Chances are that that HA Leadfoot could end up as a store exclusive too, but if Hasbro packages it cleverly, they could get away with it as a general release figure.

(of all the Nascars to choose from, Hasbro should have known that having one with a major retailer's logo taking up a large portion of the toy, would limit their options selling their product to all stores... even if Bay or someone important was a fan of those three Nascars)
