2016 Toyfair Australia Transformers exhibit

[DELTAprime]

I wonder what the local pricing on the CW box sets will be like? Assuming TT doesn't announce their own version of them I'd be interested in all 3 G2 sets plus Victorion.

Awesome Aussie exclusives there Obviously I missed this earlier but I didn't realise that Scourge was a deluxe. For some reason I thought that it was a Voyager, maybe because we've already had a Voyager Cyclonus. That explains the lack of detail.

thanks for the info! even though i'm personally not really interested in any of them I'm glad that big w and target are getting some of those G2 combiner wars boxsets and not just toys r us, hopefully prices won't be too outrageous.

Glad to see Victorian and the G2 Combiners will be making their way down here.

Did you happen to take a few photos of what they had on display for Star Wars by any chance?

[TAAUBlaster]

Any indication of when the G2 CW boxsets might be available?

I'm glad TRU doesn't have the monopoly this time. Hopefully that will keep prices reasonable.

Okay... the list of toys that we should be getting here, and items we probably won't get here (details can change at any time, but at this time, anything noted as not coming here, find an alternative source if you want them).

Items noted as "on display" were at the exhibit - they are available to retailers so should be here, but there is always a chance that all retailers turn down the same item... and they don't come here.

On the Titans Return side, a small selection of items... and no army of Titanmasters like at the New York Toyfair.

Any story behind the IDW comics on show? Were they there just for illustration? The G1 reprints with them are local products and in Big W. Doesn't appear Titan toys have pack in comics and the last local distributor of IDW comics wrapped up years ago (after a few trades appeared at Target).

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Is that Rescue Bots High Tide an actual transforming toy?

'Cos if so, I might have to get one and call it Boaty McBoatface.
Also I could kind of do with more nautical Autobots for the Odieverse.

[MayzaPrime]

Is that a Leader Skywarp next to Leader Starscream? Could Aussie retail be getting leader Skywarp

[Firestorm]

Good to know what we should and shouldn't be getting
Looks like I'm off to make some more online purchases -___-
