Sorry if this is old news. I didn't see any sightings yet and only heard they were out in Canada. US sellers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200131237640 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220134536741 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190134456905 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250147904327 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130137892497 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110153460020 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140139212046 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290142738094 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190134458111 Did anyone see them in stores yet?
Nevermore, no retail sightings to my knowledge. However, the Collector Club store had them at Botcon (none by the time I got to the front of the line, of course).
Why not? "Loads of 'in stock' eBay auctions by US-based sellers" is usually the first hint towards a US retail release. A thread gets posted, people start looking (or even realize the toy they've been seeing at their local Wal*Mart for the last week is NEWS), and eventually someone posts a receipt photo. It worked here and here.
i found one in BC, Canada at a random shop at retail price here. I usually find that items reach America before Canada, so i bet they are starting to pop up.
