    Default JP Jetwing Optimus toy now out in AUS

    Another world first for us here in Australia it seems.

    The winged toy version of Optimus Prime that appears to be most movie accurate in TF3 is not expected to be released by Hasbro, so unless you live in Japan, HK or Australia, importing it would be the only way to get it.

    So for most members here, lucky you live in Australia... because it is out here now under an exclusive arrangement between Hasbro AUS and TakaraTomy.

    And even better, it appears to be out here before it was even released in Japan.


    This is a regular release item in Australia, so any store chain here that wanted it, will be stocking it.

    So far known:
    ToysRUs $150 (unconfirmed price and not yet released)
    BigW $148 (not yet released)
    Myer $169 (now out)

    And so there was much rejoycing from the fandom. Their bank accounts? Not so much.

    Nevertheless, this is excellent news. Thanks for the heads-up Griffin.

    can't wait for your review then. I do want the figure too because it looks badass but want to see what else they've done to the mold...

    Not exactly. It has a status of NLT (No later than) 26/6. This leads me to think it will be in the Toy Brochure. This date is never spot on though
