    What is the usual U.S. release time frame from being released overseas?

    are these going to be in the same packaging or the new movie packaging I saw in another thread?

    I reckon it's highly likely this "first batch" will be in the TFU packaging. And then once the movie is released (or weeks/months before) the ROTF packaging should surface at mass retail.

    I will get them.. I just don't want the movie packaging.. I think that the universe looks much better!

    are there any websites where you can pre order it?

    Agreed completely, that smirk on Superion's face in the ROTF Packaging just screams "KO" to me :lol 

    I wouldn't know since they are available at mass retail, but shouldn't the usual HTS and BBTS have them?

    Does HTS sell store exclusives (I don't think they do)? I imagine it'll be on Target.com a couple of weeks before they're out in stores...other than that I'd say it's up to eBay and maybe BBTS or something, but I haven't seen pre-orders for any U.S. retailers yet.

    Oh that's right, good point, I forget that they were Target Exclusives in the US. So you're probably right, Target.com ought to have them up soon :)

    We most likely won't get them in the UNI2.0 packaging in the U.S.

    They will show up in ROTF packaging as Target exclusives based on what we have seen so far. Maybe early release figures or something.

    You must have missed this from a few weeks back:

    Universe Superion in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Packaging - Transformers News

    Notice the Target sticker on the package? Evidently they are UNI2.0 outside of the U.S. and ROTF within the U.S. Most likely Target wanted Exclusives in the ROTF line so Hasbro just tossed them into the packaging and called it good. I'd bet that the UNI2.0 stuff released outside of the U.S. was already manufactured before Target got their way and Hasbro had to sell them somewhere so the Aussies and Singapore got them.

    That's kinda stupid. Ah well, at least they're being released SOMEWHERE in official Universe packaging... That means they can be used in the fiction without problems. Then again, I'm sure we'll see Big Daddy and co. in Classics fiction should it return. (and I mean COMICS, not the prose fan-fiction that I simply don't enjoy no matter how "official" it may be)
