9 times out of 10, they don't show store exclusives, unless it is something impressive to pad out the display (and not actually pitch to retailers). In the past we've had some of the Masterpiece toys included in the Toyfair Displays (like Grimlock a couple years ago), and the Masterpiece line is usually mentioned in their slide show presentation (as one of the items aimed at the older demographic), so it is telling that they didn't include it anywhere this year.
Something I'll have to remember to ask at the Australian Toyfair this year.


At least for Australia, if Hasbro (America) stop producing Masterpiece toys (because ToysRUs overprice them to the point of being unsellable), we should still have some of the Japanese ones be imported here in Australia.
