    So coming from someone who missed the PC sale any chance this'll come to Local stores?

    Still think we should get a wave with Groove and blast off or a set including Brake neck and quick slinger (Still need to get my hands on the latter)

    so packaging states manufactured under license from TOMY Co., Ltd and manufactured in Vietnam which means this should be the same Groove from UW Defensor.

    Same mould, not necessarily the same paint apps (though it appears to be the same) as all TFs are made in the same places, usually factories contracted by Takara, and then licensed by Hasbro.

    Not very likely but could happen. Other online stores are likely to get Groove too once Hasbro actually announces it.

    PC definitely did as I got it from them. As for other local stores, I'm not sure.

    Not in local shops. Those two were only sold through online toy stores.

    Actual side by side comparison pics between UW and CW versions -- looks like one of them has a darker windshield (I think the Hasbro?):

    There seems to be some variation there with all four samples' windscreens, and no way yet to ID which is UW and which is CW. Cool.
