AUS store exclusives list for 2009.

[Gouki]

15215 TRA Universe Deluxe 5 Pk (could be the Cybertron 5-pack - Optimus, Blurr, Longrack, Runamuck, Buzzsaw)
Jul-09 - BIG W

Expecting to see this at the toy sale, really, and will be quite happy to snag it then.

Overcharge the taxi? Someone at Hasbro's seen my ideas!

Totally!!! I wonder if it's Eric?

[G1Optimal]

Hope this is all okay...

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)

Kmart

July 2009

• 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...

[jaydisc]

What is it?

[blackie]

What is it?

repackaged supreme rollout prime?

[Tropisetron]

oh yes...

it's the supreme roll out command prime. Nothing new. Says the same thing...

[Saintly]

I should mention that the OP helmet is already out in Target for $99. Spotted in Burwood NSW

[griffin]

Did you try it out, and did it do anything differently or have anything on the packaging that it does differently to the first one?

[Saintly]

Did you try it out, and did it do anything differently or have anything on the packaging that it does differently to the first one?

I didn't and I haven't bought it yet... didn't want to open it on the spot and get told off

Helmet is a lighter blue colour scheme, visor is also slightly more see-through that the first one. Has 3-buttons.
