You guys got the Flagg down under? Weird. I only ever saw 1 in the UK, and it was a store display for a competition to win one of like 7 the national chain had imported specially. We got most of the line (with a few odd omissions like Low-Light, Sneak Peek and Crystal Ball) and the larger 'planes, plus the MCC, but Hasbro apparently thought British kids had no use for a GI Joe HQ (I guess Palitoy didn't shift enough Z-Force ones), USS Flagg or Terrordrome.

And now, as with everywhere outside the US, the 25th line is deemed inappropriate or something, since it's collector-oriented and only the US has enough toy collectors to warrant releasing anything that isn't meant for kids to actually play with.

It's a good job the line is flimsy crap incompatible with the 25 years they claim to be celebrating, otherwise I might care.
