Maybe some were sent to retailers as samples and they decided to sell them before the embargo date? <shrugs>

The box in the Seibertron pictures explains it - they are a "preview" wave, before the full series are released in January.
Strange though, that these weren't noticed in Previews by anyone on the global fansites (as these are showing up at comic shops instead of retail stores).
I wonder if they will show up in our comic stores as well if they were from Previews/Diamond... or maybe Hasbro in American just sent them directly to specific comic stores.
Strange that they are all Decepticons in this preview series.

Now they are hitting regular retail, with a sighting at a Walmart for $2.79 (plus tax).
Improves the chances of seeing them at our stores here, now that they aren't just being found in comic shops.
(I also wanted to make sure it was noted that the earlier spelling of "Scorponox" was actually a typo on the Hasbro display... it actually is the real Gen1 spelling)

Some nice clear photos of the preview wave here.
They certainly look better as just robot modes... so the "conversion" gimmick just hurts them, as the non-convertible ones you get in the box-sets look a lot nicer.
