Congrats, folks!

It took me a while to figure out why the TF movie was opening so late (July 28th) in the UK. I only recently twigged that it's to coincide with the start of the English school holidays. July 4th has similar significance in the US (ie everybody wants to go to the pictures). Anybody know what's shaking in the Phillipines at the end of June?

I like that they're releasing it at different time everywhere. While I know the movie could carry itself with just two box office opening's, having it come out over the span of a month in all different countries will really help it to rake in the money week after week.

I love how all the countries that get it early are prone to massive piracy.

It's the new era of promotional campaign, no doubt. :P

Isn't Canada the second highest pirater (is that a real word?) going? If so why don't they have it earlier? :P

Welcome to the boards Protoform-S. Your first post and you bring us news. Good job! :D

Do you know if they are using the Philippines to test market the movie? And what is like collecting Transformers in the Philippines? Are there a lot of Takara or Hasbro Transformers? Are they expensive? Are there a lot of KOs?

What the deuce? When the blazes was this announced? I'm not waiting until the July 28th while people here discuss a movie they saw twenty-four days prior!

Hi Nick,

Nope, there's nothing happening at the end of June here. Though classes would have started by then. :)

Thanks for the welcome :D

I hope to post more news here (at least from Philippines) on TFs and others. As to whether or not they are testing the Philippine market, we're not sure. Anything is possible at this point. Japan is scheduled for late August.

Supply of TFs isn't as consistent and abundant as that of the US. We normally get Hasbro toys, but we had, at one time, got the Takara Beast Wars 2 figures.

Worse case we would get our stuff from specialty stores or from group buys in case someone goes abroad. But the distributor here would sometimes surprise the market with some toys that weren't released yet in the US, like the Classics Deluxe Two-Packs.

FYI, the Classics Deluxes sell in malls here for Php 700 (around USD14). The Classics Deluxe two-packs sold here for Php 1200 (around USD24). Hope this helps. :grin:
