The Star Wars FAQ covers that (the link was in the 'rules' post)

Hasbro Australia has been discussing the idea of an online outlet for HasbroShop.com here in Australia for some time. Hasbro Australia does not have any firm plans to look into this kind of venture for the next 12-18months.

But a question you could ask is if there is any other way we can get in a 'collector quantity' of toys not released in Australian retail stores, either through Hasbro AUS or with their help through an independant toy importer.

Are there any plans to bring over more Japanese takara exclusives? The likes of Mp04 etc.

Great question in light of pending MP2/6 re-releases.

[iceburn]

On the MP note..could it be an add-on asking about the defects of MP04 that was never answered when i sent an email to them a "WHILE" ago...

I'd like to know when the 25th Anniversary toys (Hound, Cyclonus etc) will start being released in Australia.

Q: Anecdotal evidence suggests poor quality control seems to be becoming more and more of a problem with each susequent line. Are Hasbro aware of these problems and, if yes, are there any plans to rectify this?

Ditto.

1. Will Hasbro consider an Australian based TFCC?

2. Is there any way we can get robot points going again to get exclusive toys not released in stores? That could also include toys that arn't going to see a general release here so no special production runs would be neccesary, although, they would be nice.

3. Would it be possible, if Hasbro does open an online store, to work closer with the current TFCC and allow some of their exclusives, such as the recent piranacon? That is, if an Australian based TFCC is not formed.

4. Possibility of an Australian Botcon? It could even be a general Hasbro convention spanning all of their toylines.

5. Regarding toy instructions, I find the original G1 style of instructions, which also give written descriptions in each transformation sequence, far far easier to follow than the current picture only instructions. With the modern toylines, being more and more complex to transform, could these be seen to be reviewed to make it easier for the general consumer?

6. With the advances that Lego has had in their Technic range and also the mecha-like and popular exoforce series which can all create fully transformable vehicles if engineered correctly, (the parts in their catalog are more than capable of fully articulated robots), would a series of Lego transformers be considered?
