Prime cartoon in AUS from November 6th (plus toy update)

So it's like them wanting to buy one of the new third party constructicon bots or a war defender bot? So why will they complain if we get the figure and they don't? Hell they would jack the price up on us if they had a chance.

I guess it just comes down to how badly someone wants something huh?

Hi Daniel,



Thank you for your email.



Unfortunately Australia or New Zealand won’t be receiving the PRIME First Edition Deluxe or Voyager products. However we are launching the main line PRIME products into our market in March so expect to see most of the line within the first 5-6 months of the year.

Heh...
Well, it was kind of expected really but at least we now know - Cheers for the info though Accel.

Ah, so it'll be the Bbee/Starscream Entertainment pack.
This is such sad news. The retailers and consumers could do with a break from all this Movie universe of the last 4 years by having as much new different Prime toys as possible... but I guess the clashing packaging styles of FE and RID would be difficult to market to retailers, and from retailers to consumers.

Australia won't be receiving FE toys... shock horror

Well, that's done it for me. I'm ordering everything online now. Why even bother with the stores <shrugs>

I was honestly thinking that we would get FE, but in March... but anyway... glad I got my FE stuff from overseas. <sigh> That's really disappointing.

Hey, I got all my FE toys from brick and mortar stores! Just... not in Australia. But yeah, I can understand the frustration with purchasing from local stores if Hasbro won't bother supporting them with new stock.
