And no, there is no xenophobia here, there is only logic and numbers. Numbers don't have the ability to lie nor do they have an opinion, they just are.
Hasbro Asia is NOT an independent company, it's a division of Hasbro Corp. If you've ever worked for a global corporation before you'll know how these things work (I'm guessing you haven't). Directions are sent down from on high (corporate HQ) and everything trickles down from there to the subordinate satellite divisions all over the world. Hasbro Asia (and the others) don't do anything without the corporate HQ blessing first. Having said that it all goes right back around to my original argument about Hasbro (corporate) making bad decisions with their distribution.
Listen to ANY American based Transformers podcast and you will hear constant gripes about product that collectors want not being on store shelves. So it isn't just me and it isn't just in my area, it's all over the place unless you live in a foreign market that seem to have plenty based on online stories I read at least two or three times a month.

I can pretty much promise you I'll never see that in any store within a hundred miles of my location. It just keeps on making my original point.

wouldn't have noticed if you mentioned that... but... yeah... they aren't supposed to be packaged like that.

I'm also planning on heading to Universal Orlando next weekend, so if I see any of these while there, I'll be sure to report it! Unless someone else beats me to it.

Maybe this is why there has been a delay and why orders were canceled.

I thought it was the minibots that got cancelled most. several people have been getting their starscreams starting last week.
