Besides, there are probably quite a few fans here who didn't realise we got MP Barricade here (particularly if they didn't have a TRU near them), and the news people in America definitely wouldn't have known every toy that was released here... so they can be forgiven for assuming that it was new here.
(and unfortunately, the Exclusives section of the 2018 toy checklist was the one section I never got around to (yet)... so they had probably didn't have an archive like that to check up on either)
