New forum member Petar had contacted his local Toys “R” Us store, in Australia, to inquire about the Thundercats Toys. For those that don’t know, Australian Toys “R” Us stores actually import some toys from other countries. Australian Transformers fans know this well.
Unfortunately, it might not be great news for fans down under. According to this particular store, Thundercats Toys will not be released in Australia until mid-2012.
