Centurian Australia Rlease Date Announced!

Squadron Of Foam Tasmania (S.O.F.T.) did a little digging and Hasbro Australia has replied with a release date for the Centurian. When asked about the Longshot, Hasbro Australia replied:

"Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, Hasbro Australia no longer distributes this particular product.

The new range of Nerf Elite will have a comparable blaster; “The Centurian”, this will be available at retail stores in October 2013."

The original Facebook post can be found here.

What does this mean in terms of a US release date? We're not sure yet but hopefully they won't be far apart from one another.
