Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[griffin]

The RID 12 inch Titans (non-transforming) Drift (and probably Grimlock) have been found in America. Probably out for a while, but they aren't a popular item, so don't get reported.

Found the "transformers autobot heroes platinum edition" at takashimaya earlier today for SGD$299.90.

Legends Titans Return toys now found in America.

Shouldn't be much longer for Titans Return toys to start showing up at our major retailers.

Wave 3 RID Battlepacks is now out in America (which we shouldn't be getting here), which is the new Strongarm and redeco Sideswipe in blizzard white deco.

It seems that the 3rd wave of RID Minicons (the first wave for 2016, with Swelter, Hammer, blue Slipstream & Back/Forth), has finally shown up in America (half a year after other countries), at a discount chain.
And more amusingly, the whole confusion about if a particular Minicon was called Back or Forth, has ended up with it being both, as one person found both at the same store (post #8 if you can see TFW attachments), which looks to be identical (toy & packaging) except the name on the front of the packaging.

The next wave of RID 1-steps with Bisk and Ratchet have shown up at American retail (a month or so after some online sources got them).

The sixth wave of RID Tiny Titans have also been found there as well.

Wave 2 of the Titanmasters have been found in America, very soon after wave 1.

Rescue Bots Racers found in America - these are the ones that are about the same size as the transforming RB toys, but have pull back motors to them... so will be more expensive, at US$15 (the regular ones are just US$10).

Now that SDCC is over, ToysRUs in America are now selling the Masterpiece Bumblebee in stores for US$65, as they had their exclusive advance release at SDCC.

And RID Legion Groundpounder/buster has also been found at US retail.

Titans Return wave 2 toys are already showing up in North America, as well as more of Asia... so not just here (with Soundwave being found here already).

It still begs the question - if both waves of 2016 are already being released in July, does that mean we get nothing new released until December for the first wave of 2017, as we only appear to have two waves of TR for 2016.

Wave 2 of the Titan 6-inch (non-converting) figures have been found in Europe, which has Grimlock and Strongarm, and could be a world first release.

Wave 2 Titans Return Legends (Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble) are now officially out at American retail after being at some online stores for a few weeks.

And for the Rescue Bots fans, the newest wave of converting bots (Quickshadow and Morbot) are also out at American retail, just a week after being found first on Amazon.
