Wasn't Groundbreakers an officially released set?
I think that if some of these were officially released this discussion would be moot.
No, Groundbreakers was the second set that was never released.

We had them, at least the starter packs, in the stores here. Groundbreakers was officially released, just with a limited distribution.
I gotta throw this out there, the figures from the TFG were Gashapon in Japan. The spinning bases are new, but the figures glued on top of them were molded for a gashapon game in Japan. I have a Bulbasaur, but saw a half dozen or so others that were released as TFGs. I doubt these are fakes, but it's possible they are prototypes with those alredy produced figs glued onto test bases.
with the site update, that link no longer worksHere's a picture on the go-Pokemon site from the GAMA show:
It shows one of these figures among the "upcoming set 3" figures, the Snorlax.
The article is no longer accessible, but the picture is.
