hey good news. All the Kmarts i have visited in Adelaide have got the new legacy build a droid wave with Padme Amidala, and i even found a BAD Plo koon. Also, turbo tanks have been sighted at target for $56 so my brother and i bought 2 for ourselves for christmas (might as well if no-one else is gonna get them for us!!). Back to kmart and Target, shelf clean up has begun and through asking around, new vehicle stock is due at my local Kmart in the next few weeks. Might be the same at yours.

Anyone seen the "crumb bomber", CW Y-wing or the Octuparra droid yet?

Can only hope. Haven't seen much new figs of late, maybe a one or two lucky find. Clint's been very kind in grabbing me figs from over there in US...

Alas now I'm in saving mode hopefully to try and raise to go to C5

Hey everyone in Australia. I just contacted Hasbro to get some replacement parts for my AT-TE and i asked the question whether the crumb bomber will be coming to Australia. And i quote:

"Regarding the crumb bomber, Unfortunately, we do not manufacture or
distribute this product in Australia, and at present we have no plans to
do so."

Well thats great. What else are they gonna deny Australians? Looks like more of my questions are answered than Jay's though. lol.

CC said something really interesting though. He said that he rang up hasbro for turbo tank replacement stickers but they couldn't help them coz they didn't supply them to Australia. Kmart and Target took the initiative to bring them in themselves. So maybe, if we're really really lucky, Toys'r'us might just import them in. If they do we'll end up paying heaps though.

I don't have much faith in hasbro anymore, and i have no idea how they can be persuaded into bringing the crumb bomber to australia. I doubt a petition or some sort of uproar will do anything to change their minds. Maybe we should ask at next Hasbro Q&A session?

nice score. What did they cost you, OOfire? Are they still charging as much for figures in Australia?

Crap, that wave is like 4-5 months old! Is the product really that delayed over there?

I would just buy everything off eBay...that is brutal.
