    Default YOTS Omega Supreme and Prime possible Toyworld exclusive

    Just a quick drop in to give people a heads up on something.

    About a monthy ago I stopped into my fiancee's local Toyworld to see if like with other exclusives, Masterpiece Optimus might also be going through them.

    They didn't have any pictures but what the manager there said said was that their two big exclusives were going to be Omega Supreme and Optimus Prime and they were going to be over $100. They were also expecting Generations Voyagers so it's possible that these are the asian exclusive Generations figures.

    Considering that the only large scale Omega Supreme currently around that would be in that price range is the YOTS, my guess is that that was the Prime and Omega they were referring to. I'll leave it for people here to confirm and clarify and if I get a chance to contact them in the next few weeks, I'll let people know what I find out.

    I doubt this to be accurate, why would an exclusive go to a toy store chain the majority of australians can't access?

    Grey market import. It happened before with Toyworld stores in Brisbane importing SDCC/Asia exclusive Alternators Rodimus. I was kinda hoping the same could happen with SDCC Bruticus, but that seems unlikely now.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    It's not the first time they've bypassed HasbroAU and imported directly. Often at far superior retail prices. I remember when they did it with GI Joe, and it was joe heaven for under ten bucks.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    I'm not debating the fact Toyworld often bypasses HasbroAU, I'm casting doubt on the "exclusivity". Importing them from wherever themselves does not make them exclusives. That is called intelligent marketing.

    Just called up Toyworld Fyshwick and spoke to the manager to see if I could get an update. They still don't have any more info or a release date, but they've taken down my number to call me once they have more info. I'll keep you guys posted.

    Also having noticed the definition debate, I wasn't excluding the possibility of other stores getting these 2. However by the same token, this doesn't seem like it's the sort of thing that's going to wind up in major retail stores (eg Kmart, BigW, etc) - hence my describing them as "exclusives" - be they Toyworld-only or a shared retailer exclusive type deal.
