    i hope your info is right, it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro uk have been wrong about something (the repeated alternators fiasco for instance)

    That would explain how I missed that. I don't go there.

    I think whats most likely is Fall is the release time for Universe, and Animated is still what it was before.

    I personally think that they are refering to the Robot Heroes when they say Beast Wars. As cool as it would be to get some updates to some Beast Wars characters, it most likely won't be happening for a while, as at least this first run is centered around real world alt-modes (aka no animals, dinos, or futuristic/non-realistic alt-modes).

    Plenty of time to prepare for the massive wallet-harvesting, then. :D

    Also, what are "Home Bargains"..? (The fact that I'm not aware of the store, let alone the figure release, does not bode well for the future.)

    Ah well, if they are to be later in the year, that's not too bad. Either I'll be able to get someone to pick them up for me from the US first (hurrah!), or I'll be able to save more Nectar points (hurrah for the rising cost of petrol!).

    And this is also really good news, because it proves that 2007 wasn't *completely* rubbish...

    Ooo, it said Animated will be "hitting screens from march". Hopefully it's not too late into March!

    The new Animated and Universe toy lines are definitely getting me excited!

    But animals and dinos are real world alt modes. At least I know gorillas, rats and rhinos exist for real. ;)
