Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[griffin]

The Authentics non-transforming Cybertron Battlers are out in USA (already out in Sth America).

Looks like the US have been a long way behind us on the Legacy toys, as the 2nd wave of Deluxes have only now been found at US retail, almost 2 months after they first showed up here.

R.E.D. wave 6 is now out in America, which is Shockwave and Galvatron.

Legacy wave 3 Deluxes and Voyagers, A Hero is Born set, at Robo Robo Singapore. Also a Minerva there for those hunting. Edit: Also Transmetal II Megatron (off camera).

Wave 2 World's Smallest Toys (Megatron, Soundwave, Arcee) at ToysRUs Singapore.

Solid cases of Legacy Deadend at Robo Robo Singapore.

Now out in America are the two Street Fighter collaborative 2-packs (re-release of 2017 Japanese toys).
They are likely to be released in Australia, but it was still up in the air last time I checked.

The Megatron/Optimus set is us$113, while the Hotrod/Arcee set is us$75.

Also just out are some of the January Studio Series toys (very early) - Voyager Ironhide in Ireland, and Core class Rumble in Europe.

And the Core class Legacy wave 3 Bomb-Burst has been found in America.

SS86 Voyager Ironhide has also just shown up in America at retail, so maybe it is coming out two months early everywhere.

Also, the Authentics Titan Changer Optimus Primal (with artwork that suggests that it was meant to be released for the new movie if it had come out in June as originally planned), has been found in Peru.... which is ironic that the first place a new "Movie" toy is found is in the country where some of it is set (and filmed).

SS86 Voyager Ironhide has also just shown up in America at retail, so maybe it is coming out two months early everywhere.

Ironhide should be coming out locally very soon. EBGames has updated their release date to 27/10/22 and Titan Pop Culture says 31/10/22. Other specialist shops have been showing November e.g. The Gamesmen and Popcultcha.

I'm so glad this is not an exclusive, not an end-of-line wave and not (I believe) shortpacked, so we should all be able to get this definitive version of Ironhide and leave the Earthrise scalpers to cry.
