There have been others who have reported this problem at Theyareamongus.com.

Today we have some bad news for Australian Star Wars Transformers fans. Griffin of Ozformers Transformers Resource Guide has reported that Kmart in Australia will not be stocking Star Wars Transformers any more. Here is what griffin originally reported:

"I had guessed that Kmart might have stopped stocking the Star Wars TFs after not seeing them or any shelf tags at a few of their stores, so I rang up one store and asked. I was told that they no longer stock them, which is disappointing, because they were the cheapest store for them.
I can't imagine why though, since they sold out really fast."

"A friend of mine who works at a Walmart here in Wisconsin has passed me an e-mail with some interesting tid-bits:

BEAST MACHIN

> FLYING DINOS
> MINICON BACKHOE VS
> MINICON POLICE C
>
> There were also three deluxes listed as TRA CYBER
> ARMADA TBA1, TBA2,
> and TBA3. I don't know whether two of these are
> Prime and Demolishor,
> but it'd still leave another one unaccounted for.


Let the speculation begin! :D"

Autobase Atachi have reported that the latest edition of Hyper Hobby Magazine contains news that Kiss-Play Convoy will contain no diecast parts!

We are awating confirmation on this but if true this could be a huge disappointment to many Binaltech fans eager to get their hands on a Diecast version of this mould.

On a related note Takara affiliated online store eHobby have now added images to thier listing for Kiss-Play Convoy including a closr up of Mellissa and surfboard.
