Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Also, remember if ordering from the US they might open the toy and glue an orange barrel plug into the barrel to comply with US law.

Yeah, there are just so many reasons for me not to preorder this item. I want it MISB so barrel plug or having customs open it is a disincentive. Getting it confiscated and wasting over $300 is another possibility. Worse outcomes include massive fine if i can't be bothered filling out the forms to import.

I guess i'll never know what it's like to own a G1 Megatron.

The G1 Megs water pistol got into Australia no problems... I was sure that'd be a no go.

Has there been any further confirmation that EB/Zing will be stocking the "Hero is Born" Alpha Trion/Orion Pax 2-Pack?

Huge risk. Huger reward. That is expensive but also the most amazing water pistol ever.

Yup, I love it!

Is it just me or has there been a fair bit of shared engineering in the Leader Class truck-based figures in recent years?

Board rule 18 states: "18 - Unauthorised "third party" items and Knock Off item restrictions
Posting about (or selling) Unauthorised toys and accessories that specifically target the Transformers Brand and/or established Characters, is only permitted in the Unauthorised Products section."

You could make a Transformers collection post on the regular board section and separate collection posts about your other toy collections in the relevant sections. Same would go for things like TMNT, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Wrestling etc. I think that the main part of the board should just be for Transformers, and posts about other brands can be made elsewhere.

Will any other stores besides EB Games be getting the Thundercracker and Galvatron wave for studio series

I totally get your concern, although it's an incredibly low risk these days as griffin said, but still a risk nonetheless.
There's always keeping an eye out for one locally though and might be worth making a WTB post here and elsewhere. Especially if it doesn't have to be that exact G1 Megatron, as there have been a few different releases/reissues of the mould over the years.
