Today while browsing the shops in a Target in Australia, I came across Jetwing optimus Prime (Retool Rotf Prime With jetpack Parts). This toy wasnt in the toy sightings area so I thought I would post it here. If this isnt new news please take this down.

Jetwing Optimus is not a Japan exclusive? Chance of it being released in the US so I don't have to pay $200 online for it?

Really? Sure you're not confusing him with Ultimate Optimus Prime? Big dude with trailer that combines into armor?

Jetwing Prime was just recently released. big dude with jetpack and huge guns, but no actual trailer.

It's not uncommon for Japanese toys to find their way to Australia, via Tomy.

I just find it odd, that a figure slated for a July release in its primary market would be available anywhere else 2 months earlier.

It's not Ultimate he's talking about tho. The interesting thing is, that Jetwing Optimus Prime was released in Australia, with translated packaging and all, a week before he was released in Japan.

I know he's talking about Jetwing. Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't Jetwing released just this month?

He's saying Jetwing's been around for 2 months in Australia.
