I know it's been asked but it's been a week or two since...
Has anyone found Ryan, Mike or Treasure Thomas anywhere in the USA yet?
We are anxiously awaiting them and already preordered the shipwreck rails set from fisher price which is set to ship June 11th per FP customer support.
all out and available in UK but please note the Shipwreck Rails set in UK and Oz are different to the one being released in the US .
Well I've done some searching and probing of my own, and without confirmation, it seems part of Fisher Price's new global marketing scheme is to limit certain characters to only be released exclusively in limited countries!!
Ie: Crash & Repair Salty and Fearless Freddie are Australian exclusive...just like Muddy Spencer & Gordon are Great Britian exclusives. It's gonna be a global market so...
GOOD LUCK COLLECTING THEM ALL NOW!!
Play nice & have fun!!
Muddy Spencer and Gordon were the UK TRU equivalent of Snowy Gordon and Spencer from TRU US .
plus the marvel/minis crossovers which will be sold at sdcc. [clarification: sdcc = san diego comic con]
honestly, mattel doing this is no surprise. ive seen them do the same with the pixar cars line over the years. they started with limiting numbers of this or that character.
then they created chases, where you might find one per 5 cases opened, and then super chases which are supposedly limited to 20,000 pieces worldwide. more recently, they made some super chases country exclusives.
pixar cars have done a crossover with star wars after disney bought the rights
