Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[griffin]

Legacy wave 3 Deluxe now out in America - Skullgrin, Pointblank, Crankcase, Deadend.

Also out in America (according to Entertainment Earth) is the new wave of Botbots. They are still being noted as series 6, but the actual packaging doesn't appear to have it on there like the earlier waves.

Studio Series Core Rumble and Laserbeak (pink Bumblebee) are also out in America at retail (Laserbeak was on Amazon America a couple weeks ago).

Looks like we got two of the Vintage Beast Wars toys before America (after they had been getting their other ones months before us), as Wolfang and Retrax were just found at US Retail.

We are supposed to be getting the last two (Iguanus and K-9) in Australia this month, so it will be interesting to see if they do show up here, or in America in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, over in the UK, they have the first sighting of Legacy Evolution Core Class wave 1 (Soundblaster and the Dinobots).

And over in Singapore, the newest Buzzworthy Studio Series figures have been found - the re-release DOTM SS-44 Trailer Optimus, and the black redeco of SS-96 Ratchet and SS-95 Bonecrusher. (the redecos get a new number, while the re-release has the same SS number)

All three have been released in America - the two black redecos were on the Target website a few weeks ago, while the Optimus re-release was found at a retail store.

Legacy Breakdown at US retail.

Apparently, all of the first wave of Legacy Evolution and Earthspark are now out in America.

Legacy Breakdown found at US retail - it is in Legacy packaging, but would have been released as part of Legacy Evolution wave 1.

Legacy Evolution Core wave 1 found at US retail (Sludge, Slug and Soundblaster)
https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/01/25/...-retail-474048

Earthspark Tacticon wave 1 found at US retail... at the same time as their first sighting here in Australia, despite America supposed to be having a 3 month lead on the Earthspark toyline. It is really puzzling too, as the Hasbro people doing the exhibit at the Sydney convention in September were unable to say why we had to wait an extra 3 months, but then for most of the toyline it didn't even matter, as we only ended up being a week or two behind.
