So much for "giving back" back to G1 loyalists. We get screwed at every turn, the collector's lines, the movie, now this. What a load of crap.

I believe what he meant was that he's not a resident of Austrialia, like a lot of us are. Not that he's not old enough.

I guess that none of you Aussies would enter for me and give me the whole prize, and ship it to me, huh?

Pretty please?!

I'll give you a cookie!

I believe Madman and Seibertron.com are going to work on a contest that will be available for everyone. Madman is an incredible company. Just because they're in Australia, don't let that stop you from enjoy the great things they're doing for us Transformers fans. They have some great products, are an official sponsor of Seibertron.com and best of all ... they're fans just like you and me.

This has been running pretty much since Madman's G1 boxset and Special Edition Movie collection came out.

They also had a 30 second ad right at the beginning of the ads/trailers before the Transformers film.
