Australian toy news!

[Petar]

Hey guys - my first post here - and unfortunately, with bad news for Australian fans.

I contacted the Australian Toys'R'Us, assuming they'll be first in line to import these action figures. My request was transferred to the person in direct charge of that area, and they have let me know that Thundercats figures will be released in Australia, MID-YEAR.

Of 2012.

So as it stands, we have approximately an 11-month wait until Thundercats merchandise is released in Australia! I really don't understand this marketing strategy, as from what I see, the toys have already proven to be quite successful in the US. There's no known release date for the cartoon, but...... 2012??

If any Australian fans know anyone further that we could contact about this, I'd appreciate it.

Looking forward to being a part of these forums..............

Sounds about right unfortunatly.
We will have the same, if not even longer wait, here in Japan.
Still hoping to be able to get them some how, without having to pay those ridiculous prices on Ebay.

$69.99 for a 6" figure....... awesome bro!

Bummer man. Thanks for the info though.

What makes this even worse is that even BBTS will not sell Aus addressed customers this stuff. I was about to order all the classic and 6 inch figures when I noticed the warning.
