New toy reveal Thursday NOV 5th - SS-72 MV6 Starscream

[griffin]

UPDATE - date has changed to November 5th. Details and times to be posted up later.

If everything goes according to plan (does it ever though?), Australia will be revealing a new Transformers toy on Friday, that won't be released until April 2021.

This was originally planned to be done at the Sydney Hasbro office in July as another fan-meet reveal, but Covid prevented that... and then it was moved to October (with a different toy), and once again Covid made it too risky to have it held in their offices... so we might be having the reveal done in Brisbane on that day, if the toy sample arrives in time... posted on our facebook page to keep to Hasbro's exact timeslot.
It won't be a fan-meet reveal, as the exact time that we can post up the images and/or video is during work hours (10am Brisbane, 11am Sydney/Melbourne), and if we did a meet-up before Friday, the toy details or images are likely to be leaked, and we probably wouldn't get any more Australian reveals (it might also get some negative publicity from other parts of the country/world if we have a group of people in close proximity at this time, even if it is allowed in Brisbane).
Instead, fans will be able to come around on the weekend (not as a set time all at once) to explore the toy (be one of the first fans in the world, 5-6 months before it gets released) and post up their own opinions and photos on their websites and socials in the days after the official reveal... but details on that will be posted up on Friday (if the toy arrives).

If the toy sample doesn't show up, or something else unforeseen happens, the new toy will still be revealed later that day by Hasbro America and the various online stores that will be allowed to list their pre-orders that day.

No details will be given before the reveal, as this is one reveal I would like to see surprise everyone, as I haven't seen it listed anywhere on the rumours/leaks listings. (I haven't told anyone what it is either, even my most trusted friends, so don't bother probing any of them either.)
