AUS Toyfair 08 report, part 3 of 3 (Animated).

[griffin]

Just as an added note. As expected, the Aus Star Wars collector site has covered the Toyfair, and posted up several Transformers photos.
Nothing there that we didn't take photos of though, but wanted to mention it as they cover just about all the other stuff on display by Hasbro (and a few other distributors).

Damm those toys look sweet..

Might pick me up a Prime afterall to add to the Prime shelf.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Yeah, selling toys at that size and price point is good if the toy justifies it (e.g.: Primus and Unicron). I see a lot of other Supreme figures just not justifying that price point - and definitely never seen anything from the Ultimate price point look worthwhile (granted there's only been one so far)

Would I be correct in assuming that the Ultimate size was Movie "Ultimate Bumblebee"?

[GoktimusPrime]

Indeed. I hope that if they release any more Ultimates that the toy would be good enough to justify that size and price point. I would be willing to pay for an Ultimate figure if I felt that it was good value for money - same with Supremes. I felt totally ripped off with Supreme Cheetor and I've avoided Supreme Cybertron Starscream for that reason. Air Attack Optimus Primal on the other hand I felt was reasonably good value - ditto with Unicron and Primus. If you're going to make a toy expensive, then that toy needs to justify that price point in order for it to present good value for money to consumers.

is there a definite list of what will be released on June 1st?

The figures on display at Toy Fair are figures that will only be released for the June 1st date?

Hey BRead,

The best list to go by is here:

Although it looks like Voyager Optimus Prime (Earth mode) will not be in the first wave.
