Not originally planned for Australia, but a recent update from Hasbro Australia has noted that the next Movie Masterpiece toy - Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee movie - will be coming to Australia around September, as a BigW exclusive.
And, it will be in New Zealand as an EBGames exclusive, for September, for nz$299.

The BigW price for Australia is not yet known, but I would hope that it is very good, being BigW.... but since it will be here before the Japanese release in October, those of us with that version on pre-order (for about au$250) can then cancel the JP pre-order if the BigW release is indeed cheaper.
