Why Australia suddenly getting toys earlier than most of the world?!

[christalcase]

not that I'm complaining, but just that I'm wondering why we're getting the new figures (Generations, PowerCore Combiners, HFTD) earlier than America and in most cases, the world?!

I know there haven't been any official annoucements or something along those lines, so just asking for some possible theories

Shipped to the wrong country and to expensive to send them back

I don't believe that there is any rhyme or reason, it just comes down to distribution methods. We sometimes get other countries left-overs too

leftovers I understand, it's old stock (and I dont mind them, sometimes they have huge clearances of them ), but it's just that I'm really (pleasantly) surprised we're getting first distribution of these new lines, when Australia's market isn't particularly big compared to USA or Canada, I mean, they're not expecting theirs to be in retail until August, and we're getting them 2-3 months earlier, I guess I'm just so used to me waiting 1-2 months for toys to come out here after other countries

Perhaps it's related to the newer lines coming from the Vietnam factories? I'm not sure why that'd make a difference but the timing seems to coincide with the change.

Don't ask stupid questions! Once the magic is gone, and we understand it, it may go away.

I hope this is true^ only time will tell I guess.

I thought it was because the states still had a greater plethora of ROTF stock to get rid of and japan has their home-grown animated line to keep themselves busy.
