Back in February we reported that Tomy announced that the company cut its annual net profit forecast by two-thirds. Then we reported that Tomy sold 14% of it shares to Texas Pacific Group. This put the company in great position for further growth. Now it looks like Tomy is ready to grow more. A report at Toy News Magazine says that the company is looking to buy two Japanese rivals due to a declining domestic market. Read the full report at Toy News Magazine.

Starscream NZ of Transformersnewzealand.com recently had a phone conversation with representatives of Hasbro New Zealand. Starscream NZ learned the following about future Transformers releases in New Zealand:

"Alternators - FARMERS is the only possible stockist of this line, and if they take the line, it will arrive next month (this will be Rumble and Ravage).

Titaniums - .....R.I.P Titaniums Hasbro have NO upcoming releases of these, said they had some Marvel ones, but nothing in the way of Transformers. Guess Toyworld took those few Soundwave/Rodimus's but that sounds like that's all we're going to get folks. Best get importing.

Movie - Toys have a shelf date of June 2"
