Plush Transformers found in Australia

^ There is one at Keilor Downs plaza near Kmart.

That's barely a shopping center as well

Speaking of TF Plush, did these ever get released here?

Bumblebee
Starscream
Soundwave
Hot Rod

Tinyjazz sent me a link to an ebay listing that has/had dozens of the six plushies, for about $10 each... so either they found them for sale somewhere, or spent a lot of time at one of those claw-grabber machines (or raided one).

I haven't heard of them being released here. Since they are made by Hasbro, they'd have to sell them to retailers themselves... and since I didn't expect them to come here, I had a friend send me a set from America (including the fifth one - Optimus).

Thanks mate.

Guess I'll start looking online/ebay for em.

I've ordered a set...
I'm a bit skeptical of eBay these days as I was burned a couple of times by supposedly Au sellers end of last year so hopefully it turns up.
I didn't really want the Bumblebee's but it was the only way I could get the Optimus'. Let's see what happens.

Bad news and bad news....


The first bad news is that Hunter Leisure don't respond to queries made through their website's contact page (or just ignore questions that aren't important enough too them). So I called them up today after waiting 2 weeks.
And that's where we get the other bad news - their license for these plush limits them to prize machines (and from what was described, probably at those annual city shows like with those games in sideshow alley). They will not be released in retail stores or anywhere else that allows you to buy them... so if you want a set, or a particular one, you have to spend some time at the claw grabber, or find a listing on ebay (like the one that people here were buying from). I was also recommended to ask the management of the places that have the claw grabber machines (arcades, shopping centres, bowling alleys) to see if they would be willing to sell you a set - I was told that they aren't supposed to (and they'd probably make more money from people using the claw machine), but it can't hurt to ask.
