Thanks to a report of 2005 Board member Automorpher, we can confirm that the new Transformers Earthrise Voyager Thrust is out in Singapore.
Thrust has been released as a Target exclusive in the US and as Takara Tomy Mall exclusive in Japan, but he’s been released at Toys”R”Us stores in Singapore. We hope this means other countries will get this figure at retail any time soon.
Update: Thanks to 2005 Board member Cool Hand Lube we can share for you some in-hand images of this highly anticipated figure.
Happy hunting!

Still hoping he'll go back up for order again–I missed the pre-order window for both Thrust and Runabout. Runabout went back up for order and I have actually already received him, but still nothing for Thrust.

No unfortunately, I wish

Thust was found in Sacramento, CA. Target Exclusive EarthRise Thrust Now Out at US Retail – Spotted in Sacramento, CA | The Allspark

Sweet, Thrust's product detail page no longer states "unavailable" it now states, "out of stock at stores near you." This means that he will be in stock soon, since this usually happens when a product is about to be in stock on Target's website. I saw this with Pounce and Wingspan earlier this year, so fingers crossed that Thrust does in fact arrive in stock by Target's new promised release date of Dec. 15th.
EDIT: RATS! Target just emailed to inform me that Thrust is being delayed until Dec. 22nd, there goes the opportunity of having all 3 Earthrise Coneheads before Christmas. At least I was able to approve the delay of my online preorder, instead of Target cancelling it.

Wait has it gone back in stock on occasion?

I am hoping to get my hand set on those guys too, everytime I would check amazon it was always gone quick, I’ve also wanted to get prowl and ironhide but that also has yet to comeback, it says it may not even return so all we can do is sit and wait ig.

I thought Pixelmaster was referring to the Hong Kong market.

Siege Ratchet was exclusive as follows…
USA – Walgreens
Canada – EB Games
Thrust is
USA – Target
Canada – Toysrus
EB is the best to deal with they get stock before the other stores for general releases.
Back in October a guy working in one asked what I was looking for told him just want to see if any new transformers are out. He then says hang on a sec. Goes to backroom and brings me a Bluestreak (exclusive) these are going to be tough to get, you need one?
Yes sir!

I'm really mad about this. They need to do a better job stocking this guy. There's nobody who doesn't want this guy. @#$%%^%^&
Pixelmaster
Normal retail. There hasn’t been an exclusive for ages. Last one I recall is SIEGE Ratchet which was a TRU exclusive.
drmick
No TRU in Europe.
Best bet I have found is Japanese sellers on eBay. I got dispatch notice today.
Chaos Muffin
Nice. Cant wait to get him and display him alone without his conebros.

Does anyone know if the other 2 will go back up amazon cancelled mine and I\'m hoping to get the set

So that’s where all of the cancelled Thrust orders went.

Oddly enough I have seen Toys R Us promote him in the States but linking to the Target page.
SiamGXPrime
I just hope Dirge and Ramjet two pack come out again. =(
Kamphaer
He's not easy to get in the US either. Preorders were gone in seconds, and many stores did not receive it on the 1st. The Target nearest me simply is not stocking him at all.

Thrust looks to be a Toy'R'us release in markets other than the U.S. Not sure if TRU is still kicking in Europe but it is still around in Canada and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to secure a Thrust locally without having to deal with Target.
