Here's a little bit about the reason why Cybertron toys have already been spotted on shelves in New Zealand, buit nowhere else in the world yet:

He hehe , looks like someone from Hasbro somewhere reads the assorted TF message boards as when I went to order more Cybertron toys yesterday , Hasbro NZ had been told to stop selling them untill approval from Hasbro united states came through .

They arent supposed to be released yet ,and we were the first oin the world to recieve the cases , but I got a call today saying it was all ok now and they can be released again  .

So if thats the case , maybe our yankee friends will have them relesased early as well now before the June 18th street date .

Interesting......

 

Apparently, Cybertron is supposed to be released simultaneously in the USA, New Zealand, Australia and probably also in Hong Kong beginning June 18.

 

The toys have already been shipped, but are being held back at Hasbro USA's request.

 

But since New Zealand stores are completely sold out of their remaining Energon stock, some stores ignored Hasbro's request and started stocking Cybertron.

Wow

 

I thought only Lucas enforced "Street Dates" thus everyone KNOWS when a new SW figure comes out but for TFs -there is like a 3month window when you might be seeing the figures.

 

So if there has always been a June 18 street date why have we been speculating ??

 

And why did Hasbro-USA put a hold on it when all the other contries say move forward?

 

neato info
