MAY 2020 Japanese and Asia exclusive items

[griffin]

I'm thinking that the disruptions due to the covid virus have been hitting pre-order listings in Japan, as there are only about 10 Transformers toy on pre-order at Amazon and HL at the moment... with no Cyberverse toys currently listed (the last ones for Japan were released in December, so even if they list some for pre-order this week for a couple months time, that's still at least 8 months gap).
