Just rang up Hasbro Australia, asking if we will be getting the Masterpiece Optimus Prime here, since it will be in America soon (a ToysRUs exclusive).
From the product manager (via Customer Service, who put me on hold to ask) I was told that it was offered to retailers here, but none would take it at this time...
I've now rung up ToysRUs, just in case... and it was lucky I did because Hasbro gave me the wrong information. (looks like the retailers know more about Hasbro's products than Hasbro does)
Masterpiece Optimus Prime WILL BE HERE.
ToysRUs have two shipments coming in. One in late September (in stores early October), one in November (in stores for Christmas).
Price will be AU$150.

Thanks to TRU for the speedy response and info.
