The rest of the Studio Series wave has now been found at US retail, so could be out here early too (pre-order listings are not expecting them here until about August).Quote:

The Authentics small-size Arcee has been found in America, so should show up here soon.
Legacy Voyager wave 2 (Jhiaxus and Soundwave) spotted in Singapore today.
It looks like the second wave of Legacy was meant to be released July 1st, but they haven't been showing up in America yet (unless it was a restock and they had run out of wave 1 like the Leader class). Some of the size classes have been showing up in Australia, but generally only at places that don't have release dates, and those online stores that didn't get the release dates wrong (like Amazon and EBGames, who have most of the 2nd wave listed for mid August).Quote:

They get their stock through Australia, so hopefully that means these will show up here soon too.
Found at US Retail last week, all at Target stores...
Legacy Deluxe Red Cog at Target (exclusive) at a very expensive us$31.49 (plus tax) considering deluxes there are usually us$22-25, and their Buzzworthy Voyager Dinobot is us$31.49, so maybe this was priced incorrectly.
Legacy Titan Metroplex and Movie Masterpiece Blackout, along with a brand-new Buzzworthy 3-pack (containing re-released Cyberverse Deluxe Cheetor, Bumblebee, Optimus).
Legacy Commander Motormaster
Vintage Beast Wars Terrorsaur is now out in America... and is supposed to be released here as well this month.
Studio Series Core class Wheelie and Ratchet are now out in America... so could start showing up here too, if a retailer needs a restock of that size class.
A little bit after we got them here, wave 2 Legacy Voyagers Jhiaxus and Soundwave are now out in America at retail.
Studio Series 1986 Arcee is out in America, which sounds like a revision wave as it was found with the two newest toys from the last wave (Sideways and Bumblebee).
Also found in America is the wave 2 Legacy Core class (Shockwave, G2 Megatron, Optimus).
I am also thinking that Shockwave was part of a revision wave, as it was only found in JBHifi with Rodimus, but not Megatron or Optimus.
The Authentics non-transforming Cybertron Battlers are out in USA (already out in Sth America).
Looks like the US have been a long way behind us on the Legacy toys, as the 2nd wave of Deluxes have only now been found at US retail, almost 2 months after they first showed up here.
R.E.D. wave 6 is now out in America, which is Shockwave and Galvatron.
Legacy wave 3 Deluxes and Voyagers, A Hero is Born set, at Robo Robo Singapore. Also a Minerva there for those hunting. Edit: Also Transmetal II Megatron (off camera).

Wave 2 World's Smallest Toys (Megatron, Soundwave, Arcee) at ToysRUs Singapore.

Solid cases of Legacy Deadend at Robo Robo Singapore.

Now out in America are the two Street Fighter collaborative 2-packs (re-release of 2017 Japanese toys).
They are likely to be released in Australia, but it was still up in the air last time I checked.
The Megatron/Optimus set is us$113, while the Hotrod/Arcee set is us$75.
Also just out are some of the January Studio Series toys (very early) - Voyager Ironhide in Ireland, and Core class Rumble in Europe.
And the Core class Legacy wave 3 Bomb-Burst has been found in America.
SS86 Voyager Ironhide has also just shown up in America at retail, so maybe it is coming out two months early everywhere.
Also, the Authentics Titan Changer Optimus Primal (with artwork that suggests that it was meant to be released for the new movie if it had come out in June as originally planned), has been found in Peru.... which is ironic that the first place a new "Movie" toy is found is in the country where some of it is set (and filmed).
Ironhide should be coming out locally very soon. EBGames has updated their release date to 27/10/22 and Titan Pop Culture says 31/10/22. Other specialist shops have been showing November e.g. The Gamesmen and Popcultcha.Quote:

Legacy wave 3 Deluxe now out in America - Skullgrin, Pointblank, Crankcase, Deadend.
Also out in America (according to Entertainment Earth) is the new wave of Botbots. They are still being noted as series 6, but the actual packaging doesn't appear to have it on there like the earlier waves.
Studio Series Core Rumble and Laserbeak (pink Bumblebee) are also out in America at retail (Laserbeak was on Amazon America a couple weeks ago).
Looks like we got two of the Vintage Beast Wars toys before America (after they had been getting their other ones months before us), as Wolfang and Retrax were just found at US Retail.
We are supposed to be getting the last two (Iguanus and K-9) in Australia this month, so it will be interesting to see if they do show up here, or in America in the next few weeks.
Legacy Evolution Wave 1 Deluxes now in New Zealand.
Legacy Minerva now at physical stores in America (previously was just online only). It is a Walgreens exclusive there.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/12/21/...-retail-472768
And last year's Walgreen's exclusive (Kingdom Red Alert) is also finally showing up at physical stores in America. (it was also previously only online)
https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/12/20/...-retail-472737
Meanwhile, over in the UK, they have the first sighting of Legacy Evolution Core Class wave 1 (Soundblaster and the Dinobots).
https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/12/25/...ssue-cy-472877
And over in Singapore, the newest Buzzworthy Studio Series figures have been found - the re-release DOTM SS-44 Trailer Optimus, and the black redeco of SS-96 Ratchet and SS-95 Bonecrusher. (the redecos get a new number, while the re-release has the same SS number)
https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/12/25/...eek-4-3-472860
GEN Selects Magnificus (black Perceptor) was out in Singapore in the last week of last year.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/01/...al-week-473098
And the Retro coloured Starscream was found in a physical US store.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/01/...-retail-473120
All three have been released in America - the two black redecos were on the Target website a few weeks ago, while the Optimus re-release was found at a retail store.Quote:

Earthspark Spin-Changers Optimus Prime and Bumblebee found at US retail, which just leaves the Tacticons left to be found at US retail.

Legacy Breakdown at US retail.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/24/...-retail-474041
Apparently, all of the first wave of Legacy Evolution and Earthspark are now out in America.
Legacy Breakdown found at US retail - it is in Legacy packaging, but would have been released as part of Legacy Evolution wave 1.
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/24/...-retail-474041
Legacy Evolution Core wave 1 found at US retail (Sludge, Slug and Soundblaster)
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/25/...-retail-474048
Earthspark Tacticon wave 1 found at US retail... at the same time as their first sighting here in Australia, despite America supposed to be having a 3 month lead on the Earthspark toyline. It is really puzzling too, as the Hasbro people doing the exhibit at the Sydney convention in September were unable to say why we had to wait an extra 3 months, but then for most of the toyline it didn't even matter, as we only ended up being a week or two behind.

Legacy Evolution Voyager Metalhawk and Twincast stocked at Singapore toy specialist The Falcon's Hangar today. Twincast sold out immediately.
Shrapnel, Prowl, and Crashbar are on shelves in Singapore.
There's a heretofore barely leaked (known only by a cryptic inventory listing) War Dawn 2 pack that has been found at Gamestop in Canada. Not available for sale before 07/04/2023. Has Ariel using the Legacy Prime universe Arcee design for the 4th time) and Dion (using the SS86 Kup design for the 3rd time). $70 CAD, which is about $77 AUD. No idea what it would be if it hit retail here.
Movie Masterpiece Bonecrusher has its world first sighting in Taiwan, and is supposed to be released here some time during November...
