Wow, this is getting ridiculous. Again. How many months behind does this put us? I'm starting to think we won't be getting any later waves of anything at all.
We'll get them when they can't sell them anywhere else:rolleyes:
Wave 3 TFPrime Dreadwing is now out in America.
Plus the final wave of First Series BotShots (wave 5) have also been found in America.
(Gen1 Skywarp, Movie Roadbuster, TF2 Movie Megatron, Gen1? Bumblebee, chase/purple Shockwave)
NOTE - that's now all of the First Series BotShots toys released (44 toys). We've had 26 released here so far.
Asian exclusive Deluxes now found in America, 3 weeks after Canada got them.
Further supporting the theory that Hasbro Australia have pretty much abandoned TFPrime in favour of other lines, it seems that we did end up getting the Gen FOC Combaticons before America, as they have just been finding them in Target stores there... just not by much though (and it will still be hard to find them at most stores here).
They've also been finding another size class of the Asian Generations toys - Scouts (Laserbeak, Dead End, Sandstorm, Brawl).
US$10 is apparently how much US TRU are charging, which was the price point of Deluxes only a few years ago. Imagine if that price-rise was passed on here.... who here would be keen to pay $25 for a Scout/Commander class figure.
MP Optimus is now being found in US TRU stores.
The re-release of TFPrime First Editions have started in America, with the sighting of the Entertainment 2-pack... which never made it to America first time around.
Im in New York this week- went to TRU in Times Square... They have MP Thundercracker! No sign of MP Prime tho.
How much was MP TC?
About $87Quote:

There might be a Voyager Skyquake released before the end of the year, but aside from that figure, this is pretty much it for TFPrime toys until Beast Hunters starts up next year (probably around March/April).
Aldi in America has TFPrime Deluxes for US$10 (most stores are now charging $13-15 in America), with most being the hard-to-find Vehicon and Airachnid.
Here's hoping this is something Aldi imported themselves into America (judging by the odd assortment ratio), and they stock them in other stores around the world.
Not relevant to anyone, but may be interesting to some:
Malaysia Airport (KL) had all the recent releases of Prime figures as well as a bunch of movie releases, the energon combiner team re-releases, as well as some third party items such as not-sixshot. Only had 5 minutes to have a quick look last week on the way past, and sadly didnt get a chance to purchase anything due to late arriving flights on the trip home.
Sri Lanka had the Hotshot etc waves of Prime deluxes, and the first 2 waves of botshots and cyberverse figures.
GEN FOC Wave 3 has been found in America... which means they leap-frogged over us, after we had Wave 2 found here before them.
Looks like the Year of the Snake toys (Omega & Optimus) have been released in Asia (before the Chinese New Year as I had suspected).
Amazon in America aren't supposed to get their stock until about April... but I hope they get it earlier than that.
And, being January 26th, we get a huge release of items in Japan - MP Soundwave, Encore Anime Devastator, Generations Combaticons, Arms Micron Frenzy, Rumble & Wildrider, plus the second wave of BeCool (Botshots).
Also in Asia, the second Seeker set was released sometime in the last week as well.
Yes they have the second set now as well as the YOTS Omega and Prime. I want both but I'm out of money.:o:cool:
A lot more new releases in America (still waiting for Hasbro AUS to reply to my query about when these will start appearing here, if at all)...
BotShots singles and launchers.
Beast Hunters Cyberverse vehicles (Apex Armor & Sky Claw)
Beast Hunters Voyagers (Optimus & Predaking)
January had a huge amount of stuff to be released, but America have had almost all of it now... while we've only had 9 of the 59 January toys here so far, and we are in February now.
Hasbro Masterpiece Op has been sighted in the UK.:cool:
Now found in America....
Series 2 BotShots 3-packs
Beast Hunters Legions Wave 1
Beast Hunters Cmdr Wave 1
BotShots Dragon Track set has been found in America.
Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 2 (Bulkhead, Smokescreen, Starscream, Ripclaw) have been found in America (they were out in Asia about a week or two ago).
We didn't even see Generations Grimlock and Blaster here (I'm still not sure if they will be released here either), but if you were in America, you'd be able to find them on clearance for US$7 (which would be about AU$7 after tax).
Damn!
$7 still too expensive :pQuote:

Voyager class Shockwave has been at Asian sources in the last week, and has now been found at American retail.
Wave 2 of the second series Rescue Bots Robots have been found in America (the versions that have translucent blue parts and added weapons)... Blades & Boulder.
The Platinum series "Year of the Snake" Optimus toy has been found in Canada at a ToysRUs store... similar to the Unicron toy last year.
If we had a bigger market, we could have these sorts of rare exclusives too... :(
The "new" (old) Kreo sets are now out in America, according to Amazon.com....
5-pack Kreons (set 1 - Optimus, Megatron, Sentinel, Soundwave, Starscream) $7
5-pack Kreons (set 2 - Bumblebee, Red Alert, Mirage, Jazz, Skywarp) $7
3-pack of Series 1 Autobots (Optimus, Bumblebee, Jazz + Kreons Bluestreak & Sideswipe) $12 (279 pieces)
2-pack of race cars + 2 drivers (Amazon lists it as Transformers, but it isn't) $12 (275 pieces)
The new Voyager Triplechanger Generations toys have just been found at Retail in America.
So have the Generations 2-packs with Optimus and Bumblebee.
I just saw today that the Series 2 of the Kreon Microchangers have just appeared at BBTS.
Until people start getting them, I'm not too sure which 12 are in this wave, as the images at BBTS are different to the 12 Hasbro announced at Toyfair in January.
UPDATE - codes and names
66 - Bulkhead
67 - Hardshell
68 - Blight
69 - Arcee
70 - Acid Wing
71 - Vehicon
72 - Scourge
73 - Powerglide
74 - Perceptor
75 - Lugnut
76 - Hoist
77 - Groove
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but Robot Kingdom just got a new listing preorder for May (this month) for MP12 Lambor and MP14 Red Alert.
Their prices are a little higher than first release (though Lambor is cheaper than their last restock).
Our Toyworlds and Reject Shops are known to get dumped with cheap Hasbro toys at times, but now it seems that Hasbro now has a couple options in America. A store that has everything priced at $5 or less has a huge range of Transformers up to Deluxe size, and another clearance store has TFPrime Deluxe toys for $8 each.
I got that message too.Quote:

Wave 3 Commander class of Beast Hunters (Shockwave & Starscream) is now out in America, after being at online sources for a couple weeks.
That means the four main size classes of Beast Hunters is now up to Wave 3 in America and Asia, while we haven't gotten past Wave 1.... again.
Voyager Grimwing and Ultra Magnus have been at online sources for a few weeks now, but now found at an American retailer.
These are wave 3. What are we on again... :p
New asia exclusive MP08 Grimlock reissue are coming. This time he's got chinese style package.

Re MP Grimlock, i cant quie tell on my phone, it looks like he has the crown (is it the same one as the Hasbro release?) sword and blaster, but no apron, drink tray and brain transfer helmet as found with MP08. Straight Hasbro version rerelease? (almost all of them appear to be recycled images) The image on the back, top right hand side looks identical to the Takara packaging version, photoshopped crown?
well it got a big Hasbro on it...come with the crown :)... you know what the price ?
:D but they're using Takara's photos! :D :p So it's a TT MP08 colour with Hasbro/MP08X King Grimlock accessoriesQuote:
