Energon:
´new´ Basics and Deluxe´s are due in mid June - this will be Doomlock, Offshoot and Energon Strongarm, and restocks of Arcee and Insecticon. The Deluxes will consist of Rodimus, Prowl, Snowcat, Downshift, Tow-Line and more Demolishors.
Now here´s a very interesting update from them, according to them, Energon Megatron has been shipped, and is on his way to stores in the next few days, there has been little demand for him from toy stores, so he is in limited quantity for the time being. This is great news for the kiwi fans, being depleted of any Wal*Marts.
Alternators
Alternators have been shifted back to June also, the person i spoke with was uncertain as to the stock, but it is believed to consist of both Silverstreak AND Autobot Hound.
20th Anniversary Optimus Prime
Hasbro NZ are trying to bring more stock over, namely the black gun version, however there is extreme difficultly in doing so now that production on him has stopped, so seeing the black gunned version on store shelves is unlikely. I also questioned them about bringing exlusives to our stores, that also is a big unlikely, due to the fan base ´being much smaller´ here than in other countries.
It should also be pointed out that when questioned on Sixshot again, they claimed to have no information on him, or Shockblast.
Lastly, they have said a mid-June time slot had been scheduled to Transformers Energon, though acording to TVNZ - there are no plans to run Energon in the near future, although they do own the shows copyright and episodes.
