Combiner Wars wave 1 toys official images

Is there any news if the combiner wars will be sold in Austrlia? I already saw a lot of them in Hong Kong, Philippines and Singapore. I am also planning to get powerglide and silverbolt but I am not sure if I can get the rest in Au.

Release info here.

I'm sure there have been photos from Americans already who received their Combiner Deluxes from online stores like BBTS, but this is a photo of the toys in an American retail store, completely ruling out comics with these Generations Deluxes.
(previous pics of the toys in packaging were mostly from Asian sources, so could have been explained as being a non-American market release, like last year's Generations toys that were found without comics... but now I know that the American release is definitely not having comics any more)

Some might not care either way (I don't care), but one of the early announcements mentioned that IDW comics would continue into 2015. Maybe a cost-cutting measure.

Maybe in Wave 2? The "Combiner Wars" event hasn't started in the Comics yet.

That was my immediate thought. Since they're coming out earlier than expected, Combiner Wars hasn't happened in the comics yet. Wave 2 (maybe even later runs of wave 1) will probably come with the comics.

If we take a past Generations toy as an example -- let's go with Rattrap -- he was released mid 2014, and yet came with an Comic Issue first released in December 2013. So I'd say there's a pretty good chance we'll see Comics in later waves because Hasbro obviously have no qualms including Issues that are 6+ months old with their toys.
