Hasbro MP Optimus coming to Australia October

[griffin]

Just rang up Hasbro Australia, asking if we will be getting the Masterpiece Optimus Prime here, since it will be in America soon (a ToysRUs exclusive).

From the product manager (via Customer Service, who put me on hold to ask) I was told that it was offered to retailers here, but none would take it at this time...

I've now rung up ToysRUs, just in case... and it was lucky I did because Hasbro gave me the wrong information. (looks like the retailers know more about Hasbro's products than Hasbro does)

Masterpiece Optimus Prime WILL BE HERE.
ToysRUs have two shipments coming in. One in late September (in stores early October), one in November (in stores for Christmas).

Price will be AU$150.

Thanks to TRU for the speedy response and info.

$150 is what we were expecting, right? But, this guy is being bought on sight.

[Trent]

So Bought. Much better than $280 odd.

Early October Just in time for my Birthday

Is there any difference to the Takara one? This is MP-10 right?

This isn't going to help Hasbro's image here, but they gave me the wrong information. (looks like the retailers know more about Hasbro's products than Hasbro does)

Surprise, surprise. Hasbro Australia does't have a clue.

[1orion2many]

They have a clue, Just the wrong one this time

[nyerk]

Huh, that's actually... not a bad price. After all, I spent $150 on MP-11 and that was a lot less plastic than what you get here.

Thanks Griffin as always for getting this info for us!

Well, that's pathetic! But, disturbingly, not in the least bit surprising!
