Has it been released yet? I thought it was still pending Hasbro's shenanigans.

Looks like it's pending after the initial excitement
Seems the trailer was shown in Wales in Oct 11, scheduled release in March this year then May according to the 'patches of pride' blog.
Not a bad line-up in Wales.

The chap who did this is from Western Australia. He's been on VAME for quite a while.

Indeed. Wondering if he's another Brit gone to Perth or an Ozzie who served in UKAF then went home.
Bizarrely, one of our old acquaintances has been in touch with him ...

.. and also appears to be in touch with Bob Brechin. Who'd have thunk it?
