Great news for our readers in Australia! It looks like MP-12 Lambor will be getting released there. GoktimusPrime of Ozformers shared the news there. He assisted in the translation for the release. Right now, they don’t have any further info on price or the production run numbers.
EDIT:
A post by Griffin-of-Oz shares this info:
Hasbro Asia have been known to have their own “exclusive” reissues of Japanese Transformers, but it can confuse people who might look for this “Japanese” Transformers toy online to compare prices and then can’t find it listed at Japanese online stores.
It is listed as being a September release in Asia, so should show up in Australia at around October.

Wonder what happened with a Hasbro rlease of this guy- last SDCC they said he would be released, but nothing since…
PROVOST
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Autovolt 127
That's cool.
Still amazed Hasbro hasn't done a release of Sideswipe yet but let's face it…it's just going to be more overpriced and hard to come by anyways.

Well, I for one only started collecting recently so…
But yes I do realise how many times this guy has been available for all these years but it's still great to see they are still giving people a chance to get him, especially for new collectors like me.

I think everyone that wants this, has it by now!!

From what I can tell, this would be an Asia/Hong Kong reissue of the Japanese Sideswipe… I can't see any sign of it being a Japanese reissue that has filtered into the Hasbro Asia market (and then through to us in Australia).

At about the same time, we look to be getting the Japanese Legends Arcee "reissue" as well.
