A friend of mine just gave Moose a call, and it's looking like TRU may pass on carrying Season 5 in the US.. I'm going to contact TRU and ask about it tomorrow, because I really don't want them to disappear here.

BEETRICE! She's so pretty close up! Are her antennae translucent or just plain white?
I love the BFF set.. Bellafly has such a sweet expression on her face and Butterluv reminds me of a butterfly/kitty mix!

Unfortunately just because she's not available in a country doesn't mean they won't stick her on advertising. :\ It's unfair, but it's cheaper and easier for them if they just make one poster image to advertise and then stick it on all their products rather than specialize packaging per country.
I have some Series 1 Zelf boxes that have stickers with English writing covering the box. I assume that is because under the stickers is probably the same writing but in another language. I bet this means they use the same packaging for all countries, just change the words. So that could be why Clover appears on the box but hasn't been seen in Spain yet.
@DaintyDalek and LuckyLeaf - where did you see this info about the Australian exclusive? I just checked all the Australian websites that sell Zelfs and didn't come up with any exclusives, and I didn't see anything about it on the Zelf facebook page either.
There's a couple Zelf fan pages on FB where Aussie collectors were reporting in about the boxed set. Would it be ok for me to post the names of the fan pages? (not sure what the rules are about that) Here's one of the pics that were posted. The white one is Bellafly, the pink butterkitty looking one is Butterluv, and the green one is Buddykins, all girls: visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Someone on Facebook also posted about a three pack of butterfly zelfs that was exclusive to Australia. Does anyone have any more information about them? Is there anyone in AU who could nab these for US collectors?

Ohhhh my gosh!! Did you guys see this new ballerina zelf on eBay?? visitors can't see pics , please register or login Seller says she's a large size.. she's GORGEOUS!! I hope she's being released with Series 3!! Dragonflitter: I saw the Lil' D prototype! I thought it was really neat! But the blue one called to me, haha  I dubbed it Miney-Mo the bluecap zelf. I also snagged a few of the fakies that were up on Taobao a couple months ago; their hair isn't as soft and there's glue visible on the eyes, but they're kinda cool. One of them looks like he could be Flamy's brother.

Payday is Friday, I'm going to see if I can snag the new Zelfs then! Curious if any of the wave 2 supers have started showing up in the US yet?

Shorthair cats, doxies, great danes, and cocker spaniels seem to net higher prices than most of the other molds, so those I would probably separate.

Yep, Hasbro's actually redesigning the G3 line for fall! Someone on the LPS forum was calling them G3.5s, which I think is cute. Here are some videos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZNXJ7sgg0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD3jx_lQ9dk So basically, it looks like the numbering system -might- be going away for these, and they'll all be getting names. Big focus on customization and "decobits" and themed playsets. The style has become even more dynamic, and from the looks of it, the heads may still bobble like the later G3s. Lots of characters from the TV show, including Madame Pom, Sugar Sprinkles, Minka's turtle pal, one of Vinnie's dancing lizard friends, etc. There will be repeats of the core cast with different expressions and poses, but also a LOT of new unique pets. G2 did also make a return! Nothing displayed at Toy Fair but I think Hasbro recognized that the G2s are very loved and missed and may continue to produce them simultaneously with G3.5. So yeah, G3's getting an upgrade this year, while G2 is getting an encore. We've also got a couple waves of blind bags that are G3 molds with the older G2 style eyes. One has Minka as a chase pet, and I think the wave after that has Zoe. I collect all the gens so I'm pretty excited about everything!

I really hope they stick around for a good long time. Moose Toys looks like its had good luck with its Trash Pack brand and they're using similar methods with the Zelfs (chase figures, waves, etc). They seem pretty popular! I don't see many that just sit on the shelves here.

I just purchased a few of the supers from Series 1 on Amazon for my daughter (she wanted her own collection!) and it ended up being slightly cheaper than going to TRU for them. But we also use Prime so that saved on shipping. I couldn't find the masquerades or anything for a decent price on there though. :/

One more video with some nice clear shots of some of the new characters! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG9r6Zz_tp4 Looks like Petal is the.. does that say garden elf or gargoyle zelf? I can't tell.. she's the last one on the poster. The panda is named Pandala, and the bunny is Cottontail. Cute! Here's a list of the probable names so far. The first five are from the Zardenia PDF that was uploaded briefly with some of the season 3 characters, but later removed: Billy the duck (from the Zardenia pdf: "Loves making her friends quack up", so I guessed this one was the duck) Cupie the cupid ("Love blossoms wherever the petals fall") Petal the garden?gargoyle? ("Friends are what dreamz are made of") Sealia the seahorse ("Horsin' round in the rock pool is the mane place she lives") Lullaby ("Her secrets are safely hidden in her dreams"). No clue which one she'll be, maybe the moth or cloud? Frostette the cupcake zelf Bubbles the bubblegum zelf Pandala the panda Cottontail the bunny

OMG, Calico_Star, zelf ponies would be darling!! I kinda wish Pega Sue had a little horsey tail, since she's supposed to be a pegasus. I'm wondering if the mystery pink medium zelf is the playset exclusive for series 3, since the honeybee is for the Zelicious set? I'd also love to know if those mystery supers are going to be made into the other sizes too, because man is that dragon beautiful!!

Found another toy fair video! This one shows the Zelicious series AND the white tiger!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmaLNrMZhiM I wasn't sure how to get screencaps, sorry! Can anyone make out the names on the series 3 Zelfs? Also, does the tiger zelf look flocked to anyone else? Edit: Found this vid too! Looks like the Zelicious line will have some repeat characters like Buttershy along with the new ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbt3WPrPM4g
