AUS store exclusives list for 2009.

[griffin]

Please note that this is a preliminary list, and details can change at any time if the stores change their mind about getting something, or cancelling something.

Big thanks of course to Hasbro AUS for this info.

(Red words in brackets are mine, as I had to guess what some of these mean. There are probably web-lists with these SKU numbers I could hunt down, but that'd take a while - feel free to find them and post up actual product descriptions)

This could be that Cybertron 2-pack we found the other day
The one with Leader "Galaxy Force" Optimus Prime and Voyager Crumplezone

[griffin]

Ah, it'd have to be, because there aren't any Leader sized Universe toys. (why didn't I pick up on that?)

[swoop]

Any word on the mini-con 12 pack?

[griffin]

Kmart were planning to get them last October, but must have backed out on it:

Kmart

• 15213 TRA Animated Roll Out Command Tube (style box)

This is already out in Kmart.... I saw 4 yesterday and it's priced at AUD124 or something along that line.

20% brings it slightly less than AUD100...
