October Q's for Hasbro (closes 5th Oct).

Are Hasbro planning to release any "preview" figures for the second Transformers movie, ala Protoform Optimus and Starscream?

Q: Anecdotal evidence suggests poor quality control seems to be becoming more and more of a problem with each subsequent line. Are Hasbro aware of these problems and, if yes, are there any plans to rectify this?

[griffin]

That's a good way of putting QC as a question, to have a better chance of getting a responce (by asking if they are aware of it instead of accusing them of doing it).

[TheDirtyDigger]

Q: Without being specific, are there any future Machine Men homages being talked about as was done with the Fracture/Crasher figure?

[Paulbot]

Are there plans for a global competition next year along the lines of the one run for My Little Pony's 25th Anniversary?

We have received varying responses from Hasbro Australia as to the availability of Movie Premium toys. Is there any updated information or schedule for the release of these items in Australia?

Specifically,

Leader class
Optimus & Megatron

Voyager class
Blackout & Ironhide

Deluxe class
Bumblebee, Jazz and Barricade sighted at TRU AND David Jones. Thanks Kurdt.

Also, does Hasbro Australia hope to make available the 3rd and 4th Movie Screen Battles: The Capture of Bumblebee and Desert Attack and if so, when?

Also...

What about Universe SDCC Nemesis Prime?

The Star Wars FAQ covers that (the link was in the 'rules' post)

Hasbro Australia has been discussing the idea of an online outlet for HasbroShop.com here in Australia for some time. Hasbro Australia does not have any firm plans to look into this kind of venture for the next 12-18months.

But a question you could ask is if there is any other way we can get in a 'collector quantity' of toys not released in Australian retail stores, either through Hasbro AUS or with their help through an independant toy importer.

Are there any plans to bring over more Japanese takara exclusives? The likes of Mp04 etc.
