Thanks to a sighting by TFW2005 boards member Napalm, we’ve got confirmation that Combiners Wars Leader Megatron has been released in the United Kingdom! Both versions of Megs were found at a Toys ‘R Us in Warrington for £49.99.
Happy Hunting!

I doubt Europe likes the idea of selling toys tbh
Nevermore
… what.
Combiner Wars Deluxes "only" cost €23 here…
Seriously, do your stores not want to sell toys?

Prices seems to be a problem in Europe these days for Transformers…in Scandinavia, the biggest toy retailers are Toys'R Us and BR leker (BR toys) both owned by parent company Top Toy.
Both retailers generally doubled the Transformers prices going from Age of Extiction to Robots in disguise/Generations, so that there is no point in buying domestically anymore.
Examples, converted from NOK to Euro. Exchange rate cannot explain this:
Age of Extinction Deluxe:€29
Age of Extinction Voyager:€47
Age of Extinction Leader: €79
A couple of months later:
Combiner War Deluxe: €59
Combiner Wars Voyager: €77
Combiner Wars Leader: Nightmares, I guess
Robots In Disguise Deluxe: €47
When questioned, they just say "thats the best price we can set in accordance with the price we pay ourselves" or nonsense like that…but small toy retailers here still sets the RiD deluxe prices as €26, so we believe they are trying to scalp us badly.
Generations is exclusive to Toys R'Us/BR as well, no one else can sell them…
*Wants his Megatron*

Well done Napalm.

It just depends really, MP soundwave, CW stuff, even MP prime we're hanging round for ages in the one near me – it's just odd what doesn't sell sometimes, and they are great moulds – wouldn't argue that, but £50 is not going to go quick – hope they do shelf warm a bit and get reduced
Victory Liner
Both moulds are really good I doubt they will Shelf Warm
jame5y
£50?!
Jeez that's ridiculous, no doubt if other tru's have them give it 3 months before they're on offer, tfs above £30 just sit shelf warming for an age, and then when I finally succumb to getting them –THEN they'll disappear haha

OMG I have to get to a TRU ASAP screw waiting for AA to get him TRU here I come
