So, I was informed that the Japanese Coneheads are coming out soon, they might be the same production schedule as the ones coming, if any, to fulfill orders in North America...as the figures for this line in Japan are the same, but with altered packaging I believe. Good luck....
Not ncecessarily. China has their own distribution network with Hasbro Asia (it is through them that BBTS used to get TTMall exclusives for instance) and several primary retailers have e-bay stores. So not resellers.
Those e-bay sellers have been a good option for exclusives in the past, I remember them being the best option for the Platinum releases like the G1 Blaster/Perceptor set.
