Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[Bidoofdude]

The last of the Generations toys for 2014 (Brainstorm) has now been found at American retail, so for those waiting for it to appear at BBTS or Amazon, it shouldn't be much longer now. (hopefully)

If Brainstorm, Arcee and Chromia arrive at BBTS or Amazon in the next week, there will be a lot of happy fanboys here on Christmas.

Really hoping they do. Arcee is set for early December and my POL ships on the 1st automatically. Unless a miracle happens and she comes in on the first , she misses the boat. Hopefully Brainstorm will make it before the end of the month.

A correction was made a few posts up that Generations Arcee and Chromia were not actually released yet in America, so the wait is dragged out even longer for those waiting for the final 2014 Generations toys.

The Construct-Bots Stinger 3-pack (with Bumblebee & Strafe) has apparently only just been found in America at Walmart... some six months after it was released here. I had it noted on our Checklist as released in America in June, but I may have put that in by mistake, or saw a false sighting or a sighting for a different Walmart Stinger pack. It is US$20 in America, while ours was AU$38 at BigW.

The final wave of Movie One-Steps that were listed as "in stock" at the Target website a few posts up, have now been physically seen in American Target stores to prove they are in the country.

And Germany have been able to get the Grimlock and Sunstorm Masterpiece toys released there recently.

I see that BBTS now has the Gold MP Megatron in stock, so it must have been released in HK a couple weeks ago.

Platinum Dinobots now in Canada, but not yet in America.

RID toys are showing up in American stores, Amazon, Ireland and even the UK.

Generations Combiner toys (Legends, Deluxe, Voyagers) have shown up in Singapore at ToysRUs... so hop on over there if you want them for Christmas.

Now out in America.
One-Steps were on the Target website as "in store", while the Power Battlers were in stock at Amazon.

Power Battlers Wave 3 have now been found in stores in America, a month after being in stock at Amazon.

I see that BBTS now has the Gold MP Megatron in stock, so it must have been released in HK a couple weeks ago.

I think BBTS got their hands on early stock, as this was only just in-stock at a HK source almost a week later.

Generations Arcee and Chromia now found at US retails... after online sources have been receiving cases with just Chromia in them.

Looks like the Combiner Generations were rushed out to UK stores as well for Christmas.

And more of the RID toys are being found in America, in particular, the Warrior class (slightly smaller and cheaper than Deluxe).

The UK and US are certainly getting a pre-christmas rush of Transformers toys... which should be something Hasbro should do more often, and here as well of course.

The UK have the Combiner Deluxes being found (the last post was just the Voyagers), while the US have the two new transforming Rescue Bots toys (Boulder/dumptruck, Chase/SUV).
