I am going to say that since these aren't showing up on the national UPC database.. that they just haven't entered the united states yet. Give it a week or two and we will more than likely be seeing these show up. General time frame from something showing up in the Philippines to finally reach us is about 2-3 weeks. So there is no reason to go into panic mode right now.. or speculating that these are Asian exclusives.. There hasn't been a single ME figure that I know of that hasn't reached the US at some point. This includes the cancelled Target vehicle wave.. which originally showed up in the Philippines months before we finally got them. But since these are not a cancelled wave..I say wait.. and see.

None of which were released in the Philippines. Those were all loose and carded samples from Chinese sellers. None of them were produced and sold at retail outlets.

Except..I don't think the Asian markets give half a flip as much about Joe as they do Transformers.

Anyone have any luck out there? I tried at one dollar general store and the woman on the phone was extremely nasty. Asked who I was and why I wanted the info.

Exactly. There is a WORLD of difference between Joes and TFs. Even "Canadian exclusives" usually make it to the US - even if only via Ross.

Just got my case in today. I love them. They are much more interesting than the retaliation figures. Duke is simple but my favorite.
