Just moved back to Sydney from the Philippines (to live) and going around the shops still a toy drought just like when I left 5 years ago! You can walk into hobby shops in the PH and buy 3rd party and TF items easily - however sometimes they don't stock the ones you want and I still had to order online.

That's where Australia is superior because the postal workers in PH are slow and corrupt. I'd rather have speed and peace of mind/ reliability when online shopping and I always had it in Aus.

On the combiner wars front, I bought the first wave before I left and to be honest it's nothing special. I have TFCs superion and despite its issues is still way better than Hasbros effort. Aussies aren't missing out too much!

 

-Edit- NVM, had a facepalm moment.

 

Generations Leader Class Megatron (G1 & Armada) found at some Toyworlds in Victoria, for $95.
Rescue Bots convertible Bots Boulder, Chase and Blurr found at Kmart stores for $19... no sign of the wave between these yet (Salvage & Optimus).

They have a June 2014 production date on them, and are best before June 2015... so still "edible" if you wanted to look for them at your nearby Reject Shop.

Combiner Wars figures are hitting Target stores now. Picked up Bombshell at the Marion SA Target yesterday. They had everything from the 1st wave.

 

Some Target stores will price match (it isn't a national policy, so don't rely on it at most of their stores), so see if they'll match ToysRUs sale prices before it ends on the 3rd.
(show them the TRU website if you have a device on you to access the internet)

so.. this is the awesome accent section of TFW. pretty cool lol.

i'd love to travel to these countries at some point in my life.

(sorry this post is way off topic)

 

Just some updates of ToysRUs exclusives from Hasbro Australia, as these items have recently arrived into the country and are on their way to TRU. All three should be in stores within 2-3 weeks.

Lost Age Stinger (from Hasbro HK)

TakaraTomy MP-24 Starsaber (from Hasbro HK)

Hasbro MP-06 Bluestreak (from Hasbro US)
That should mean that it should be showing up in other Hasbro markets in the next month... but we seem to be the first to get it for some reason.
It is the first official source to give us the MP number for Hasbro's Bluestreak.

 

Interesting, would we expect to see Hasbro Starscream pretty soon after based on previous releases?

 

At the moment, Hasbro just emails me with updates... so we'll probably only find out just before its release, or when it has shown up in another country first (which is the usual occurrence, so this was a big surprise for us to be the first country to find out about this one).
