They were the dream -- mechanical beings able to transform their bodies in vehicles, machinery, and animals; a last line against the chaos bringer, Unicron! They are at war, heroic Autobot and Maximal pitted against evil Decepticon and Predacon, both on their homeworld, the metal planet called Cybertron, and here on our Earth. They are the galaxy's last hope, they are--

Australian RiD Case Info
Thanks to Trentulas of the AllSpark, Logan of TFMatrix.com and Griff of ATT, it appears that the RiD case shipments first released by Cybertron City were correct, and only the shipment dates were incorrect. This could explain Ben Yee's earlier comments citing the listings as incorrect.

New Jetfire Toy Pics
As a great deal of you know, the original Jetfire toy was actually a Valkyrie Fighter from Robotech/Macross. This year, Toycom will be complementing its three previous Macross Plus figures with three variants of the Valkyrie, one being the red version commonly known to North American kids in the '80s as Jetfire. So, in a way, there's yet another new G1 toy on the way from the east.
Thanks to the ever-knowledgeable Trentulas of the AllSpark for this information.
