TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD post-Kickstarter Shoppe

Welcome to the post-Kickstarter Bush Rescue Shoppe! This nostalgic platformer boomeranged back to consoles in 2021, thanks to the support of the fan community! Discounted keys, and limited extra merchandise from the Kickstarter are only available here, and only while quantities remain. If you are looking for an item but don't see it, the system has hidden it because of low-remaining availability. Contact us. Looking for the physical copies of TY1HD? Check with your local retailer/online. European Union and United Kingdom orders are no longer accepted, including digital items, our apologies. Unfortunately, we've had to make this difficult decision due to VAT registration issues. To learn more about the TY2 Kickstarter campaign, you can view the Updates here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2031740950/ty2hd/posts Prices are in US Dollars. Digital goods, and game keys, are delivered after a member of staff processes your order. We keep Brisbane Australia hours, Monday thru Friday. Thanks for your support!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shipping Update
8 months ago – Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 10:31:16 PM

G'day TY2 Backers and Pre-order mates,

This update covers shipping news for each of the four distribution centers. 

USA/Canada/North America Shipments

Over the weekend emails went out from the distribution partner, Quartermaster Logistics, to verify shipping addresses.  Those are the final wave of shipments for this region. Look for your tracking email to come soon, because the test pack has been approved!

Australia/New Zealand/Pacific Region Shipments

Due to a spreadsheet error, some of the remaining boomerang orders that went out were missing their TY and Sly figurines. Some lucky mates even received a factory error figurine which made us laugh and cry all at the same time. 

Missing TY and Sly figurine shipments have been cleared for take-off with Aetherworks, this region's distribution partner, and those are the final wave of shipments for this region.

UK Region Shipments

Our distribution partner in the UK has shipped their final wave of shipments, also. 

European Region Shipments

Your region is going to be lucky last. Your manufacturer's carton of boomerangs was lost in Toulouse, France, about 90 minutes from its destination.  *sob* If only Infrarangs were real.

We do manufacturer extras in case things like this happen. We will mail over the needed units to the warehouse in France. Our goal is to ship these final orders as soon as possible. 


What Comes Next?

The physical goods team has been focused on getting the last shipments processed and delivered.  It's been a bit of a bumpy ride, but the end is in sight!

On the digital side, we have some exciting updates coming out about TY4 soon, as well as details about this year's conservation fundraiser. 

Thank you all for your generous support and for your patience. We're glad you enjoy the TY the Tasmanian Tiger games. 

TY2 Kickstarter Update: Boomerangs
10 months ago – Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 11:51:31 PM

G’day Mates!

You Rang?

Wrangling 'rangs

The Boomerangs are finally out of production and are winging it to our distribution warehouses! 

Aetherworks, our Asia Pacific distribution warehouse, have received their inventory. Currently, we are tracking the shipments to the warehouses in the US, UK and EU.

We will do another update soon to let you all know that the final wave of orders are coming your way! YEW!!!

Please look out for correspondence regarding your order from our distribution warehouses in case they need verification or additional information from you: Quartermaster Logistics in the US, Surfin Meeple in EU, Zatu in UK, and Aetherworks for Australia and Asia Pacific.

Yes, there were further delays with the Boomerangs. The last manufacturing issue involved a lot of fixing by hand. 

The end result looks schmick though. Check 'em out! 👇👇👇

You rang?

Asia Pacific Boomerangs

If you live here in this region (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, etc), and you are awaiting an order with a boomerang, your order is expected to ship out to you this week.  

No Boomerang, and That's the Short of It

If you did not have a boomerang(s) in your order, you should have received all of your items by now.

Any order where the last item needed were the swim shorts, were shipped out the other month. 

If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected] 

NEW - Lo TY and Chill at the Beach

It's fun working on new things and we're psyched for the upcoming TY4 launch. We are in the final internal checks before we submit the TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns remaster for approval.

To show appreciation for your support and patience with the TY2 Kickstarter, we have a TY4 sneak peak just for you... 

Steve and George Stamatiadis have put together a lo-fi version of the soundtrack for your listening pleasure. Come chill with us:  https://youtu.be/riu-TzkXctU

TY2 Boardies and Boomerangs Update
about 1 year ago – Wed, Apr 12, 2023 at 11:37:34 PM

G'day Mates!

We hope you've all been having a great 2023. It has been a while since our last update. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we get all our ducks in a row 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

We have some good news to share! The boardshorts have passed quality inspections and are ready to be sent to our distributors. We would like you to check to see if you need a different size and to let us know quickly (see below).

Once the final items arrive at the distribution hubs, the distributors will process, pack, and ship the remaining outstanding orders within about a month. Of course, any other items still in your order will ship to you as well.

With the Boomerangs, there have been delays in their production due to Covid-19 outbreaks as well as changes in the manufacturing process to ensure the highest quality standards. The manufacturer has informed us the Boomerangs will be completed by the end of this month.

Last Call

This is now the final call for any change of address or shorts sizes.

Please check to see if you need us to make any changes.

To check your address and your order, log into BackerKit here… and click the "View Confirmation" button for your pledge.

As the addresses and orders are locked you will NOT be able to change any of your details yourself so please send an email to [email protected] with your updates and we’ll get that sorted.

Click "View Confirmation"

You'll be able to view your shipping address and the items in your order. 

Check your order and address

Here are the TY2 Boardshort sizes to check your boardie order.

Maurie Mug - 2023 Edition

Back by popular demand, for those who missed out on the Marie Mug from the TY1 HD Kickstarter campaign or would like another one for your collection, we have added an updated design of the classic "Have Another Go, Ya Mug!" Mug to our Redbubble store so you can have another go at getting that mug! 😹

Maurie Mug - 2023 Edition


We're super stoked that we are so close to the finish line and we are looking forward to getting these last lot of orders out to you. If there is anything we can help with, we're just an email away. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Have a TY-riffic day!

Warmest Regards,

The Short of It
over 1 year ago – Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 06:00:08 PM

Production Images

The first shorts off the production line - with the new velcro pockets! NO MORE metal bits.

We'll have a better idea of shipping windows once the shipments arrive and are inventoried into the warehouses early 2023. Full production is still in progress.

This is the plan - we're sticking with it.

When will I get my pledge/order with the shorts?

We'll have an update about orders with shorts/boomerangs in early 2023.

Any news on the toy boomerang production?

The status is the same as the previous update.

Where can I pre-order the shorts/boomerangs?

There are less than 75 left of the toy Ironbark boomerangs available for pre-order here: https://ty2hd.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/478284

There are no more of the TY2 swim shorts available for pre-order.

I haven't received the figurines, didn't they ship already?

If your order also included shorts/boomerangs, it will ship together when the shorts/boomerangs are also ready.

Orders that were only figurines, or were awaiting the figurines to be complete have been shipped. If you expected an order like this and haven't received it, please email us at [email protected] so that we can investigate.

How do I know if my order included shorts/boomerangs?

To go directly to your survey/order to see its details, enter your email here: https://ty2hd.backerkit.com/

**NOTE** If you have multiple orders, you will need to SWITCH between orders to view them all.

I've moved/am moving, how can I update my shipping address?

If you need to change your shipping address, it's no worries. You can do so at any time. Contact us via DM with Kickstarter, support with Backerkit, or directly by email at [email protected].


As always, thank you for your support of the TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD Kickstarter project. We appreciate your patience and the enthusiastic support of you, our top fans. We look forward to sharing some of our 2023 plans with you soon. 


Final Boomerang, Final Shorts + Figurine Update
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 14, 2022 at 02:24:41 AM

G'day TY2HD Supporters!

Still awaiting a toy boomerang, swim shorts or figurines? This update is for you. Here's a sneak peek:

3 inch Figurines - Shipping Soon

The figurines have arrived into your local distribution hub and have been inventoried into stock. 

We've directed orders to be shipped out that are only figurines, or just needed figurines to be completed.

Orders fitting this criteria are shipping out to you soon. 

  • United Kingdom - this week (expected).
  • Europe - shipped last week.
  • Australia/Asia Pacific - have shipped.
  • USA/Canada/Rest of World - week of Nov. 28 or sooner

I ordered figurines, how do I know if they are shipping or not? If you are also awaiting the swim shorts and/or a toy boomerang, orders fitting that criteria will ship when the remaining items have been received and orders have been cleared for fulfillment.

Toy Boomerang - Final Prototype

Bonza, finally!

We are pleased to share that we have a final Ironbark boomerang prototype that we are happy with. 

Payment has been made for full production. Production timelines are about 70-90 days before they get packed up to begin their trek to your local warehouse. 

TY2 Swim Shorts - What a rip-off!

Just kidding, we're switching to velcro pockets. 

The cool metal snaps and shiny grommets looked rugged and industrial just like the original design, but they just weren't wearing well. 

The metal parts held up in the pool, the rain and the wash, but with abrasions, some rust did eventually appear. 

The next set of the six sizes of prototypes are expected to arrive in a couple of weeks. 

If they check out, and we expect them to based on everything we've seen so far, production should begin at the end of the year. 

When we have the next set of samples with the velcro pockets in a couple of weeks, we'll share a new update. 

When will I get my order with boomerangs/shorts?

We'll have an update about orders with boomerangs/shorts in early 2023. 

Where can I order the boomerangs/shorts?

There are only 90 left of the toy Ironbark boomerangs available for pre-order here: https://ty2hd.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/478284

There are no more of the TY2 swim shorts available for pre-order.

When will you make any extra items available again?

We will make extra items available again after all of the Kickstarter rewards and pre-orders have been shipped in 2023.  We will confirm extra inventory in stock and make it available for purchase again. That includes figurines, vinyl records, swim shorts, enamel pins and the first comic. (Why do you have extra stock? We order extras in case of damage, lost parcels, etc to ensure there is enough to cover the orders.)

Is Krome going to do another Kickstarter?

We do talk about it from time to time. They're heaps of work. Our desire is to complete our commitments to you, the TY2HD campaign backers first. 

However, in the September Krome Insider newsletter, Robert Walsh, CEO teased that we'll be announcing at the end of the year about an opportunity for fans to get involved with TY the Tasmanian Tiger™ 4: Bush Rescue Returns™ coming to Nintendo Switch™.
