Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[griffin]

Series 3 Botbots 5-packs now out in America, so I'd expect to see them here soon as well since we got the second series at about the same time.

Studio Series SS-43 Leader Optimus with Trailer was on Amazon America about a week or two ago, and has now also been found at US Retail.

Rescue Bots Feature Bot wave 2 (larger than Rescan, smaller than Megabots) out in America - Hoist and Wedge.

Siege Ratchet was out in Asia about a month ago, and has now been found in Canada.

Canada is doing well with the exclusives, with the Reflector 3-pack just being found at ToysRUs for about AU$110.

Meanwhile, the Generations Selects Nightbird and Powerdasher Zetar (Drill-dasher) are out in Singapore.

The third size class of the "Authentics" range has now been found in Canada. These larger sized figures are similar to Titan Changers, and include the three characters of Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron.
They are noted as having the same price as Deluxe toys, but are closer to Leader sized.

These are now out in America at a discount store for just US$10 (about AU$15), which is really cheap for the size of them.

Movie MP Jazz is out in Canada now, for about AU$140.

This reminds me of when the first Titan class toy came out - Metroplex in 2013 - BBTS got some advance stock from Hasbro to sell early at BotCon in June, before it was found at retail in July... this year's Titan toy (Omega Supreme) has arrived at BBTS and people have just been billed for it so that it can start shipping, a month before it is expected to be released in America (including Amazon).

Rescue Bots Whirl race car (rescan bot) found at US retail... a few weeks after it was available on Amazon. The new Grimlock should have been there as well (it has no robot mode, just a dino that turns into a motorcycle).

Wave 5 Cyberverse Warriors (Jetfire, remould Bumblebee, Drift) have been found at US retail.
