    Bad news fellow AUSTRALIAN Transformers fans...
    The Ghostbusters Ectotron toy that is exclusive toZing Pop Culture Australia and EB Games Australia, has been delayed, from June 6th (which would have been tomorrow), to September, and both of their product pages have now been updated with the new release date.

    http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=26355

    That's now an extra three month wait, which is extra painful for those who pre-ordered... wanting to support the local release and retailer, as the toy has now been released in Asia and Nth America, and collectors in Australia are already receiving theirs in the mail from overseas.

    This is a real shame, as the success of this toy at those retailers would help encourage them to sign up to more limited edition toys, but now I expect a lot of fans who are keen on this toy will be forced to import it during that long 3 month gap of seeing others raving about this toy and showing it off in person at meets and on social media.


    Bad news indeed for Australian fans

    We don't get everything either! Anyway, at least you know it'll come out at some point, just a bit later.
