Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Dkaris]

will we get the first series of prime toys?

Doesn't look like it, Just have to wonder is this Aus Hasbro fail or the U.S Hasbro considering us beneath their contempt

I'd probably attribute it to retailers already being stuck with generally at least two lines on the shelves, if not more (DOTM, leftover Generations, RTS, PCC). And most still have a lot of DOTM product that isn't moving that well, compared to previous movie lines.

I doubt there was enough retailer interest in adding yet another line (new SKU's, more peg/shelf space etc) to warrant them, at this time.

I know one of the Toyworld owners who orders every TF wave through the Hasbro rep but doesn't receive them all so it may not be the retailers. If there seems to be a limit of a wave he seems to miss out until they get more in, which may be months down the track. I still point the finger at Hasbro in general but it is a business and you always look after your large clients first which I guess Australia isn't one of them

This might sound like a stupid question but for the DOTM voyagers, if the mechtech weapons are locked out for too long, like ages maybe even years in display, could it risk them getting damaged?

The springs may be worn.

Q: Can DOTM Deluxe Optimus Prime attach to the original G1 Optimus Prime's trailer?
(come on, surely someone owns a DoTM Dlx Optimus Prime here!)

Anyone here ever have Transformers stuff (valued and declared at over $1000) shipped to them from overseas?

How does the process work? Forms to fill out, taxes to pay etc?

Anyone been through this nutty process before?

Many years ago Grasshopper before GST I went over the tax threshold with a Fort Max, It cost me a whopping $250.00 + $90.00 postage at the time. I had to go to the post office and pay the tax before they released the parcel to me which I might add was $150.00 extra for a $250.00 toy

Well hot dog
