Miranda bigw I couldn't find any, I saw double dealer though. Tried all the kmarts/myer around Sutherland area too, no luck.

Plenty of Astrotrains at Myer Miranda. Maybe stores aren't getting an even allocation of leader class stock.

A licensed Optimus Prime helmet is up on EB Games, by a company called Modern Icons.

It appears to be very similar to the Voice-changer Optimus Helmets that Hasbro did, with sounds and voice clips, but with light up eyes.

• Premium collectible wearable helmet inspired by Optimus Prime from Transformers.
• Electronic collectible helmet with LED light-up eyes and authentic Optimus Prime voice phrases and sounds.
• Push-button activation.
• Detailed paint and battle damage for a real world feel
• This fully wearable helmet comes with adjustable straps for best fit for most adult head sizes
• Detailed interior sculpting and design.

It requires 3 AA batteries.

It is a hefty $240, with $50 deposit... out in September.


(the materials must be of significant quality, yet still light enough to wear, to be that expensive... I mean, in person it might end up looking less "kiddie-plastic" than the Hasbro ones, but I can't see it needing to be over double the price, when the concept and technology has been out now since 2007)
