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.

[Deceptic_Optic]

because Generation Drift is Australian...lol

It's happened before when animated first came out, we got the first wave a week or so before the seppos. I'd like to think it was Hasbro Au being nice to the fans because of all the crap they dump here, but it's more likely to be a mistake somewhere

Remember we also got the world premiere of the live action movie in Sydney that a lucky few of us were able to attend. I bet that upset a few people in the noorthern hemisphere
