AUS Vs US HASBRO TFs toy release listing.

[griffin]

This list will try to keep track of what has been released here, compared to what is being released in America. It will show what items we are behind on, and should also show what items we are not going to get here (like US store exclusives). I will also post updates on what is released in America and here in Australia.

This listing will only cover a short period of time (about 6-12 months), because there is the complete checklist at this location - http://www.otca.com.au/checklist.html
I have used this website as one source of info - http://www.tfarchive.com/toys/

Order of list is older items first, to future unreleased items at the end.
When an item has been found in this country, I will list the first few store chains (not independants) or state locations, and then just list it as 'Out here', eg:
Out here just about everywhere
Out here but not everywhere
Out here (store exclusive)
Out here (first few sightings)
Out in US (but not here)
Not released yet
* = late release in that assortment block
