For checklists of all lines currently out in stores, see here.
http://tfarchive.com/community/showthre ... adid=28067
Everyone feel free to post any "first sightings" from other websites as well. Note that only the first sighting of a toy in US retail is of relevance. Please remember to include links to the respective sightings unless you're the first one to spot them. In that case, receipt pics would be appreciated.
All further sightings still go into this thread.
I'll keep new toys in for about a month until I kick them out.
Hong Kong tends to get toys up to two months before they show up in the US, although they're the same releases. I'm including them so you know what to expect to show up soon.
Okay, here we go:

Taken back the sighting for Universe Bonecrusher & Scavenger due to the lack of any evidence, confirmation from other sources and some dubious details in the sighting that didn't make sense.
