when do the new rotf figures come out (mindwipe, bludgeon), and how do so many people have them and prototypes already

The new figures that you've asked about, Mindwipe and Bludgeon... Mindwipe should be released in North America sometime in January/February. Bludgeon should be release sometime in December.

The assortment that includes Bludgeon has been released in Asia for a good month or so now. That's just how things goes.

Prototypes are usually stolen from the factories and sold on EBay, 'nuff said. And North America isn't actually the first area of new releases. As the factories are always located in Asia, Asian countries like Singapore and the city of Hongkong get first dibs. Furthermore, what's faster: a single package via air mail, or whole containers via the oceans?
