It appears that our friends down under have got the jump on the USA! The Power Core Combiner figures Bombshock and Skyburst have been found on toy store shelves in Brisbane months before the scheduled US release in August!

Over at Oz Toy Collectors Alliance a board member called Griffin has seen and bought the Power Core Combiners, as well as the new yellow-packed Scout and Legend class figures. The yellow-packed Scouts are Hubcap, Brimstone, Backfire and Crankstart. The Legends are Cyberfire Bumblebee, Fireburst Optimus Prime, Ravage and Rampage.

The Voyager class figures (Seaspray, Payload and Night Ops Ratchet) and the Power Core Combiner 2-packs were apparently also in stock though they were not yet available to buy.

Between early PCCs and that Voyager Class Martha Jones in the third pic, there's never been a better time to emigrate!

I'm hoping that they'll release these in time for Botcon in the US. My Target and TRU (in VA) have been having a lot of sales on movieverse stuff lately. Maybe they are trying to clear the pegs before putting the new stuff out...

I want to give Hasbro my money! Why cant they release these early in the US? It's been so long since i have seen any new Transformers around my area, I'm about to go nuts! I honestly can not recall what the last new Transformer I bought was...

I think I'm more impressed, if anything, by those nicely full-stocked shelves. I've seen nothing but barren racks over here in the states for months now :\

Actually, my boss and I go by the rule - "Fulls shelves are bad shelves". If they're looking low or even empty, thats good because we've sold stuff.

Unless the shelving is empty because the store doesn't have enough funds to remain properly stocked. Because, y'know, that's bad. :P

Lucky guys, over here in the UK there's only the same old ROTF stuff.
