Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[griffin]

Flip&Change Drift has been found in America, which looked to be 3rd wave according to some online sources, but might have ended up being a wave 2 revision wave... as it has just shown up with Wave 2 Lockdown and Bumblebee.

Rescue Bots "basics" wave 2 have been found in America, which is Bumblebee as a Raptor and Optimus as a T-rex (looking very similar to the electronic version that came out a few weeks back, so must be looking like that in the cartoon).

I can't tell if it is Prime or Primal on the packaging though, as the electronic version was Primal, while the news posting says it is Prime.

I noticed on Amazon tonight that a number of gimmick items must have been released in the last week or two in America.

Construct-Bots Warriors Wave 2 - Bumblebee/Nosedive, Bulkhead/Wideload
Rescue Bots "Titans" - Chase, Heatwave, Boulder, Blades
Rescue Bots Electronic Heatwave "brontosaurus"
Mr Potato Head 2-pack Optimus & Grimlock
Wave 1 Hero Mashers - Basics, Battle Upgrade, Electronic, 2-pack

Found in Singapore - Walmart 3-pack (Stinger, Bumblebee, Strafe) & Deluxe Lockdown.

We have that '3' pack here in New Zealand, for a rather absurd price.
