I emailed hasbro after hearing of the cancelation of the UK release to check whether it will still be released here and got this reply:

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your email.

This product is currently scheduled to launch in Toys R Us stores later on in the year.

So I guess it is still planned for an Oz release
