2012 Transformers Toy Checklist for Australia

[swoop]

I'm confused about this

Deluxe
- - Wave 6 (CANCELLED)
Soundwave (grey, new - Decep) (in Japan & Asia only)
Wheeljack (blue, new - Auto) (in Japan only)
Evac (blue car, new - Auto) (in Asia only)
- - Wave 7 (CANCELLED)
Soundwave (black redeco - Decep) (in Asia only)
Wheeljack (white redeco - Auto) (in Asia only)
Bumblebee (minor redeco - Auto) (in Asia only)

Were these planned for asia only and were then cancelled or are they just cancelled in america and are expected in asia?

To my understanding it's just the Western Markets that have had them be cancelled, though that Wave 7 assortment is completely news to me in regards to it's sheer existence.

I've heard about the soundwave and wheeljack recolour but just assumed that they were cancelled along with wave six. I didn't know that they would still be released in asia

As Hursticon was guessing, the US Toyfair Media Event reported that those remaining DotM toys were not going to be released in America, but would be in "Movie Trilogy" packaging for the Asian Hasbro markets.
But as with everything unreleased, things can change at any time.

I'll reword that to be future-tense, so that it isn't as confusing. I also added them into the Hasbro Asia Section as well. (including the Ratchet redeco that I forgot before)

And Hursticon, that 7th Wave was announced at NYCC, but that was a while ago now, so easily forgotten (for just being a redeco wave).

Ah!, so it was; man time can do silly things to one's memory when trying to following a hobby like collecting Transformers and keeping up with all the world's releases.
Cheers for the clarification dude.

That's why I'm here... to keep up with all the info for you guys to not need to.

Thanks mate. It's so handy having a list like this! I used it heaps last year and probably will be again this year.
