We have some bad new for fellow Australian collectors. Ozformers Facebook is sharing information about a September delay for the release of the Transformers X Ghostbusters Ectotron figure in Australian market.
Ectotron toy is exclusive to Zing Pop Culture Australia and EB Games Australia stores and it has been delayed, from June 6th (which would have been tomorrow) to September this year. A new long extra 3-month wait for this toy.
While it’s not that the release is cancelled in any way, this delay will sure not be good to keep the interest of local fans in Australia. Some may try to import it via online retailers considering the figure will be available long before September.

We don't get everything either! Anyway, at least you know it'll come out at some point, just a bit later.

Bad news fellow AUSTRALIAN Transformers fans…
The Ghostbusters Ectotron toy that is exclusive toZing Pop Culture Australia and EB Games Australia, has been delayed, from June 6th (which would have been tomorrow), to September, and both of their product pages have now been updated with the new release date.

That's now an extra three month wait, which is extra painful for those who pre-ordered… wanting to support the local release and retailer, as the toy has now been released in Asia and Nth America, and collectors in Australia are already receiving theirs in the mail from overseas.
This is a real shame, as the success of this toy at those retailers would help encourage them to sign up to more limited edition toys, but now I expect a lot of fans who are keen on this toy will be forced to import it during that long 3 month gap of seeing others raving about this toy and showing it off in person at meets and on social media.
Bad news indeed for Australian fans
