| 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! |

CYBERTRON EVERYWHERE
First of all and, in this reporter's humble opinion, most importantly... Transformers: Cybertron has finally made its way to South Australia! Toys R Us in Rundle Mall, Adelaide, has both Jetfire and Scourge in stock for $54.95 each, with more figures sure to be on the way.
Now for the rest of the news.
TAAU member iamonqq has found the elusive Crumplezone at his local K-Mart, where the prices are... mind-boggling. The store is asking $27 for Deluxes, $45.79 for Megas and a whopping $93 for the Leader class, so be sure to take a catalogue along and insist on price-matching.
Toyworld, meanwhile, has Cybertron on sale until Saturday June 25, and their prices are much more hospitable for rabid Transfans. TAAU member Mattafoo tells us that, under their pricing scheme, you'll pay $24.99 for Deluxes, $59.99 for Ultras and $89.99 for Leaders.
Over at Toys R Us Scrambletown, where TAAU member sharkysparky walks the aisles, the prices are slightly different. The chain, which boats a range including the so-far-unseen Scout class (once known as basics), sells Leaders for $79.99, Ultras for $49.99, Voyager class for $39.99, Deluxes for $23.99 and Scout for $14.99.
Fellow board member TANkAGE informs us these prices are part of a special introductory sale about to start at TRU - which has another bonus! Those who purchase either of the Leader-class figures (Optimus Prime or Megatron) will receive a free Scout-class figure until the sale ends. Once it's over, you'll pay $89.99 for the Leaders and $54.99 for Ultras.
Once again we go back to the tote board for a list of who's out there...
