Foreign first-release TOY sightings

[MayzaPrime]

That's why I said the same week as here.

I really should read better

The Combiner Wars Gen2 Bruticus set is out in Canada.

The Victorion set is finally out, now found at American Target stores for US$100... so expect about AU$200 when it shows up here.

Is it a special edition of that set or something?
They have it listed at BIG W for $149 AU as part of their mid year layby/sale thing. Price after promotion $169 AU so don't get burned by other stores!

I took a photo of their catalogue on this page above. Also the BIG W thing has its own thread, but I have not looked in that thread yet.

The price was an estimate based on the usual doubling of toys here, which was actually true for the ToysRUs price, at AU$200. BigW is usually cheaper, so it was expected to be less than $200... and even cheaper on sale.

The RID Platinum set of Bumblebee and the Japanese Voyager Grimlock is now out in America, as an Entertainment Earth exclusive.

We are not supposed to be getting this set here, so if you want one, you will need to import it from EE, or from an Asian source.

The next wave of RID Warriors have been found in Hong Kong, which has Scorponok, Windblade and Power Surge Optimus (a remould of the earlier toy to match the big gimmick Power Surge toy).
This wave also sees the new green "Minicon Weaponizers" packaging, so some previous toys are going to be seen over the next few waves as re-releases in this new packaging style, but are the same toys as before.

And for a closer look at the new Scorponok toy (which will be coming out later as a redeco called Paralon), some photos were taken of it at the recent Taiwanese fan event.

RID Legion Ratchet & Blizzard Optimus now out in America, after most of the rest of the world got them.

The licensed RID diecast cars and RC cars by Dickie that Hasbro was promoting at Toyfair, have now been found in England.

(being on display at Toyfair doesn't mean they will come here... it is just part of the display to entice retailers to track them down and order them)

The Titans Return toys are now showing up in America, so they should show up here in the next couple weeks as well.

Deluxe wave 1 - Voyager wave 1

Plus, the Power Surge RID toys as well - Optimus & Sideswipe/Bumblebee.

The big Platinum Edition set of five Autobots from the 1986 Movie has been found in Singapore.
