Yeah, some of those questions made no sense to ask Hasbro UK. As for the ones that did, the answers were non-commital at best. Not enough to stop me importing, despite the added effort.

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.

Cybertron was shown at the LAST UK Toy Fair, why wasn't it relased after that??



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.

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.

Hasbro co. 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.

Just further evidence that Hasbro UK is nothing more than a distributor. 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.

The thing is GDS that importing isnt an option to all people, It was a strain just gettin 20th Prime from Japan, plus we shouldn't have to fork out extra money by right for the same toy, granted if ya want a die cast version of alt meister for example, thats fair enough, but for toys like cybertron, ya shouldn't have to.

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.

Ngh. No wonder they tried to bluff their way out of the question 15 - they don't have an answer other than "we're incompetent".
