| Although
the TAAU message
board is an excellent source for news and events, we wanted
to do more, and so in the tradition of all the big US-based
news sites out there, we have assembled a team of reporters
to constantly update this section each and every day for you.
As there are already a number of excellent international news
sites out there, we have decided to dedicate this section to
Australian-specific information only, all of which we receive
direct from our contacts at Hasbro, Madman, Atari and, of course,
the hundreds of TAAU members out there who visit the site each
and every day to report their findings, so if you want to keep
up-to-date with local news and events, this is the place to
be! |

UNIVERSE DELUXES SPOTTED AT THE WAREHOUSE
Universe Deluxe-sized figures have now been spotted at The Warehouse. This discount chain previously carried some of the Armada toys at very cheap prices. Unfortunately the great savings aren't on offer this time as the $26.99 price tag is more expensive than other retailers. If you haven't been able to find that elusive Universe figure yet, it might pay to try your local Warehouse outlet.
