We have some unfortunate pieces of news for Transformers fans in Australia, specifically about the Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-34S Shadow Panther and its initially reported availability at the Toys R Us chain stores across the country: user Millhouse over on OzFormers has shared an email from the company now stating that they will not be fulfilling the orders for the figure, as they no longer carry it for a number of reasons, stated below, and are only offering store credit, not refunds.
We regret to inform you that unfortunately we are not able to fulfil your Toys R Us Online Order for the following product, due to insufficient stock levels.
- Transformers Takara Tomy MP-34S Shadow Panther
Toys “R” Us Australia have recently entered voluntary administration; therefore, a refund cannot be processed.
Please go to this link to read our full administration information: https://www.toysrus.com.au/administrati ... tion-2018/
We can however, offer for you to choose other items to the same value, on our website www.toysrus.com.au and we will process this at no further charge to you.
We can also provide your details to our creditors, who will contact you with a proof of debt form request.
The other alternative is to lodge a dispute with your bank for the amount charged on your credit card for this transaction.
You will more than likely get your money back for the order we are unable to fulfil.
We understand your frustrations with this matter and sincerely do apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Should you have any concerns regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us on 1300 8697 787.
This is, unfortunately, part of the bigger news that TRU Australia is also going into administration, as we first reported here. And if you're in for bad news, we also have final confirmation of the tax changes brought about by government, meaning that Amazon will no longer be shipping to Australia as of July 1st. Read more about it thanks to Burn over in the Australian Sightings thread.

it means they are no longer getting any.

Correct, the figure is still in production and will still be available from other sellers.

But the money you wanted to use to purchase one is now stuck as credit for a dying store?

In Australia, yes, as that's the only TRU that is/was offering it (not even in Japan). Sounds like they do have alternate ways of getting their money back, though. It's kinda dumb that they took payment in advance, most stores, including US TRU, don't charge for pre-orders until the items come in stock.

Speaking of which... no plans for a re-release of Cheetor? It's the only BW MP that is almost impossible to find at a decent (honest?) price.

Very pleased with the first MP Predacon overall. Cheetor is still my least favourite MP Beast Wars figure so far.

Not even once transformed this guy? Well, more power to you for avoiding the issue altogether!

Absolutely not. I transform them once out of Beast Mode into Bot Mode and there they remain. Dinobot, for example, was enough hassle to transform without a repeat performance.
