Thundercats

My guess our best bet would be ebay.

I actually emailed Bandi US asking about these (yes, sometimes I am THAT bored) and they said that there would be a global rollout over the next 6-12 months of them.

No comment on how much the prices will be though

Searched up Thundercats on Ebay AUS and someone had them, and i bought them as quick as i could!

Apparently other online retailers besides BBTS were told to not sell outside the US for these.

I'm not that knowledgeable about toy industry but- Why are Bandai doing this? Is it because they want to force non-US people to buy locally? or is this a temporary ban until we do get them over here (i.e.: with media fanfare etc) - could we then still purchase online?

That is true, I ahve seen a fair few online retailers who wont sell outside US. Ebay is the only way you can get them here that I have found.

I emailed Bandai and they said they were doing a world-wide rollout of the toys over the next 6-12 months. Perhaps they wanted to test the popularity of the line before investing the amounts of $$ required to send them locally. Or perhaps they had limited quantities and wanted to give the US the most (or all) of the stock.

Got my 4 inch Mumm-Ra, 6 inch Lion 0 and Classic Lion O today.

Had a play with Muum-Ra and 2011 Lion o. I am pretty happy with them both. Mumm-Ra is limited, only 5 points of articulation (wrists, shoulders and neck).... But LionO is fantastic!!



Good balance and lots of options. Joints all over the place and his armour is hinged as well.



Lets hope he get sight beyond sight, since he can't see beyond his sword...

These six inch figures appear pretty good. hope they do more, So far only Panthro, Mumm-Ra (big mode) and LionO as 6. All the rest are 4.

Oddly, despite the request for online shops to keep orders to north america, the back of the box has spanish, english and french on them. They don't really tell you much either. I don't think it mentions the sword of Omens on liono's box or why he has a dagger and sword... Wasted opportunity there, as you are banking on people already knowing the cartoon first then the figure.
