    And you know, the UK actually managed to the ENTIRE Prime toyline, too. No skipped deluxes, Voyagers, Weaponizers or any Cyberverse stuff - so we've actually wound up not just getting "one thing" that the US didn't get, but rather, a BIGGER LINE as a whole than the US got. :)

    Good for you guys! Hopefully eBay prices on this might go down a bit.

    Question. Do it look like the normal case assortment, Skyquake/Magnus/Thundertron/Optimus?

    TFsource and BBTS are not TRU, which is what the news post said. Can anyone verify?

    Didn't anyone else see this Las Vegas DD's sighting?

    Wow, so that means we actually got the whole line for the first time ever! (RTS doesn't count as there was the unreleased scout wave.

    No Hasbro, it's spelled US not UK. They got the address wrong on the big box of Skyquakes.

    Seriously though, I'm glad they got shipped to a country with a large and dedicated fanbase that will make sure they all sell and don't shelf warm..... Wait, the US has that too? Oh well, here's some spikes, they're just as good right?

    You lucky so and so's. You already have the women with the sexiest accents, the best comedy shows and some of the best actors, I spose though, England gets boned in so many other lines, can't begrudge you a win.

    ...and yet there's still this myth that somewhere in Europe there are RTS Rumbles.

    Wait, you didn't see those? I bought about 300 at my local Wilkos, they were only 99p a pop. I set them all on fire, cheaper than central heating!

    While I'm glad he's been released somewhere I just wish he'd show up in the US already. Oh and this gives flashbacks to Energon UM all over again.

    Okay, so this isn't related to them being in the UK, but regarding US releases?

    Found one at DD's Discount in Las Vegas. JIMIVEGAS found another out here--posted in the Ross/TJ Maxx/Etc. sightings thread in regards. Only two I know of. This was a couple weeks ago or so.

    I've noticed that when DD's gets hard to find stuff and no Ross or TJ Maxx chains get them...they usually won't. But it's a possible sign?

    im not sure. theyd cleaned up the transformer section a bit in plymouth toysrus and they had a nice row of (front to back) 4 x optimus 4 x starscream 4 x thundertron, 3x skyquake (-1:)  ) 1 x starscream and 4 x magnus. on the end cap (wich i checked first...silly me) had a right mess of megatron, prime, starscream, thundertron, bulkhead and magnus....... so to be honest i cant tell what the hell was in the assortment????
    but if it makes you feel any better plymouth has no mp prime and well never have mp thundercracker.
    so swings and roundabouts and ive got a bloody long wait for any beast hunters stuff!!! lol.

    Thanks. Looks like it's the normal assortment then. Shame. Was hoping it was 2 SQ's a case. Sounds like Hasbro did cut short their production run then.
