Maybe they'll release it (in non altered packaging) for the 25th anniversary......
Seriously, if you're one of the people waiting for Hasbro UK to release this toy... you're going to be waiting until the Winter Olympics take place in hell. Quote: |

As usual with Hasbro UK, one hand doesen't know what the other is doing, and neither of the hands are actually doing very much. Quote: |

A good chunk of us just import. If you want a steady stream of new TF's there's no other option. 'Energon Starscream'
Barricade and Roadblock had a very limited distribution in the UK. Not sure if they appeared here. As far as i can tell World of Wonder was the only place in Ireland that could Scorponok and Landmine. |

UK sound like the guy the store owner asked to watch the store for an hour or so, and he got flooded with customers, in that hour, and know absalutly nothing about the products in the store, so he just beat around the bush, and dodged all the Q but the easy ones.

They seem to have next to no input on the line and instead just sell whatever Hasbro US sends them. And I'm sure this thing with Cybertron running up until the movie is just in the UK and not in the US. My Collection |

Hopefully this forthcoming Hasbro UK online store will carry more than a couple of TFs and a crapload of Action Man (which I really would not be surprised to see). | Yeah, Hasbro UK seem to be stuck on Action Man.
Incidentally, High Wycombe's Tesco had some Cybertron this evening. Snarl, Sideways, and some scouts. Since that's not far from where you are, maybe they get stock from the same place and will pop up there soon.
Though my local Woolworths is a wasteland. Last TF I saw there was an E Ultra Magnus who has been warming that one spot for near on a year.  Quote: |
