    I emailed hasbro about that the other day and they said that they wouldn't be bringing them over here. I've been meaning to post the about it.

    Actually looking at it again, it says if you buy any TF toy from the designated store you get the sticker for that location - there are no town toys

    Have you emailed TRU? Hasbro said the new Masterpiece Optimus wouldn't be here either, even though TRU intends to carry it.

    What Hasbro Australia says it's not going to do is almost always meaningless - they don't even know what they are doing half the time and the other half of the time they're regularly proven wrong or misinformed.

    After decades of experience, I always find that the best thing to do is never assume a toy will or won't show up in Australia.

    1. If I really want a new toy, I always import it.
    2. If I don't really want it but would buy it if I saw it on shelves then I wait - if it shows up it's a bonus, if it doesn't it's no big loss.

    Yarp. I learnt that first hand 3 years ago when I contacted Hasbro Australia and asked them about MP Grimlock, and they told me that Hasbro would NOT be doing MP Grimlock and that it wouldn't be sold here. About a year later I bought my Hasbro MP Grimlock from Toys R Us Castle Hill.

    +1. But for me, when TakaraTOMY released MP Grimlock my wife was still pregnant so I had to be more frugal with an upcoming child on the way... so I couldn't justify spending the money to import a TakTOM Grimlock, so my options were either to just miss out on MP Grimlock, or get a Hasbro one if it comes out locally - hence why I went and asked Hasbro AU directly when TakTOM's MP Grimlock came out.

    But not withstanding exceptional circumstances like the birth of a child, I just do what you do. Nothing's an absolute guarantee until the toy gets sighted by on a store shelf.

    Even with the upcoming Hasbro MP10... I never desperately wanted this toy, but if I find it at TRU, I'll grab one straight away. But if I don't... okay, I'll be disappointed, but I can live without it (I already have MP01).

    Crap!! This morning I went to my collection room and saw several of my G1 transformers on the floor. It seems that Wreckgar fell forward and knocked several guys down.

    While picking them up, I saw that Raindance was missing a Slamdance foot! I have looked everywhere and I can't find it

    Now the thing that is stressing me out is that I am now unsure if the foot ever made it over when I moved about a year and half ago. I haven't really played with Raindance since moving so I am now not sure since I can't find the foot anywhere and there isn't many places where it could have gone. All my shelves are against the well with the much of the center area cleared.

    If anyone has a Raindance and wish to sell it, please let me know. It doesn't matter what condition it's in as long as one of the feet is there.

    As in an eBay listing? MISB is universally accepted, but you should mention 'Mint In Sealed Bag/Box' in your description anyways, just to avoid unnecessary questioning.

    what he said.
    Sealed doesn't mean it hasn't been re-sealed. MISB is clearer.

    If you could only keep one. (G1 Sideswipe in this case)
    Would you keep a loose original or a loose re-issue?. Both with no weapons, but with the original having more wear on it. (paint chips, scratches, etc)
