Toy Review - YOTH Optimus Prime

[millhouse]

Picked this up on sale in Singapore. He's my cabin baggage for the flight home tomorrow. RRP in Singapore was $199, so about $180AU, but I found him at Isetan for 20% off, so about S$160, or about AU$145(?), with a tax refund to come tomorrow. Happy with him for that price, but given the prices that we're hearing from TRU AU, I'd expect hem to bump up the price before release.

In addition, the box says it's by Hasbro Australia from memory. It's bagged up for travel tomorrow so I can't check now, but interesting, eh?

The "Hasbro Australia" bit is standard on Hasbro packaging, just in case a toy gets release here it has the contact details on there.

Cheers Griffin,

Unpacked it today and the axe is totally deformed, which is a bummer. Anyone know any suggestions for getting a replacement? Otherwise I guess I'll order another...

have you try contacting the vender you bought it from?... also if it soft plastic then try a hair dryer to heat it up and it should go back to normal ....

Picked it up in Singapore from a department store, so I don't like my chances!

Tried that, and it actually shrunk!

I tried the hot water trick rather than the hair dryer and it basically turned to jelly. The reason being that I wanted to store it in the compartment in the trailer, and the axe wouldn't rotate the right way to fit. Figured a dash of hot water would loosen it up...
