Prime cartoon in AUS from November 6th (plus toy update)

[AJ_Prime]

If they send you a reply, post it here or in the AUS news section.

I sent an email to Hasbro AUS regarding this yesterday and got the following response this morning:

"The animated series and toys have already sold in the US but not in Australia.

For Australian consumers, the series is airing on cartoon network with a sneak peak double episode on November 6, before the series begins on November 14.

In March, Cartoon Network will re-run the series again.

Our toy range will coincide with this re-run and hit shelves March 2012. Unfortunately, I do not have any further information on whether Australia will receive the full range of product."

So it looks like next year end of first quarter...

Better than nothing, looks like I'll be watching this on tv also.
Hopefully there aren't too many annoying ad breaks.

And for those of us without pay TV? (or is this gonna be like Beast Machines all over again? )

I'm fairly sure that everyone could tell that it would be on pay tv to begin with.
Even in the US it was.

Besides, there are no free to air channels that would suit it anyway.

I reckon ABC 3 would IMO, but yes Goki I think this will end up being not all too dissimilar to the situation Australia had with Beast Machines and unfortunately it'll cause some to seek less desirable means of viewing the show.
With regards to the figures, and Australia's less than stellar performance with receiving lines in their entirety , take the safer and cheaper route and secure your toy acquisitions with online retail.

Yeah guys, ABC3 would be perfect for Prime!

Imagine Clone Wars, Avengers TF:Prime back to back, so much awesome!

A "sneak peak?" They know this show's been out for almost a year, right?

Please drop me a PM if you're doing an online order -- would it be okay if I piggy backed on your order and split the postage?

If and when dude, that wouldn't be a problem.
The only pain in the ass is that one would have to order 2 Voyager cases.
(Voyager Case = 3x Optimus Primes & 1x Bulkhead )
