    I'm not sure if its a restock or a revision or what. But the Twin Cities are seeing Leader Starscream popping up at Target despite most stores long since moving to Skywarp.

    So, just a heads up.

    Just noting a few more new releases in Australia for your list, which are currently being overshadowed by the release of Fort Max and other Titans Return toys here.

    - GEN Combiner Victorion at ToysRUs for $200.
    - GEN Combiners G2 Menasor and G2 Superion are also at ToysRUs stores for $200, after only being available so far on the Target website.
    - RID Power Surge Bumblebee & Sideswipe at Toyworlds for $60 (possibly a world first retail sighting)
    - RID Tiny Titans wave 6 at Coles. (also possibly a world first retail sighting)

    I truly don't get it. Hasbro will oversaturate a country that usually can't afford their stuff, the same country that usually finds importing to be cheaper on some things, but they won't give any of these (at retail) to the home country...that Australia imports from.

    I'm so at a loss for words....

    It's not just on Hasbro, US retailers don't want to have shelves crowded with big toys like that, not in the summer when people are thing about outdoor play. If Hasbro would wait until October for the big gift sets Wal-Mart would be more the happy to put them out.

    Heck, it doesn't even have to be Walmart for me. It could be TRU or Target for all I care, but just once I'd like to see these boxsets hit retail shelves. I'd love to see something new and/or rare on the shelves and just bask in the glow.

    I'm so tired of basking in the glow of my screen just to see these beauties.

    Unless it's a Wal-Mart exclusive once they pick it up the others will too, but yeah I think most of the blame can go to Hasbro for always releasing Titan class toys in the summer.

    Not sure if it's an online return, but a user just spotted the Junkion Set in store at a Target in Richfield, MN: Pic here.

    Please note that I'm currently on a vacation trip this weekend, so I cannot add any news such as SDCC Fort Max until Sunday.

    Newest wave of RID Warriors sighted in Singapore.

    Edit: Titans Return figures have also been found by other members in the Singapore sightings thread.

    Post a thread about it in News & Rumors. This should be front page worthy.
