    We never got all of the Movie line. Several end line items, like Deep Desert Brawl, many of the Allspark Power items, and the Premium series never came out here. Same goes for Real Gears (though admittedly they're hard to find all over) and the Fast Action Battlers.

    I think it is a fact of life that anywhere outside of the USA will never get the full Transformers line. Which is just something to get over and deal with, to be totally, brutally honest.

    Cheetor is definitely nothing special, nice Cat mode but meth kitty has too many shortcomings to be a toy i like (the balljoints on his arms pop off at every opportunity on mine. (might just be because mine was pre-release though

    So, finally we get what we have all been waiting for. It seems that Hasbro werent lying as such when i called them about this, instead they pulled their finger out and got to releasing them now, not in March.

    I couldnt give 2 monkeys about Cheeto, i just want my Hound, Cyclonus and Inferno.......assuming that he is being distributed along with the deluxes?

    The latest sightings on Voyagers have been for the wave after Inferno's - I suggest you put out a wanted ad now while he's plentiful in the US and online to avoid disappointment in case he does not actually come out over here.

    In fairness, we DID get every unique mould from the movie line - I think that must be a first. The only things we didn't get were repaints.

    i'll probably get them off play.com unless I actually do see them before - but i am not going to go hunting all over for them before the 27th.

    and i really hope play.com doesn't delay them like they sometimes do.

    I've ordered Cyclonus from Play.com - I have Henkei already but for £11.99 delivered, couldn't really say no. Kapow already sent me a Universe Hound ages ago. I'm not sure about Inferno.

    Just in case anyone else was looking, Play.com also have Animated Swindle and Blurr available for pre-order on the same date.

    Yeah, getting Swindle, Blurr and Hound off play.com - I bought Henkei Cyclonus just because I like the colors more than the Hasbro version.
