Thanks to TFW member Seeaich who has spotted Transformers Prime Beast Hunters 2014 Cyberverse Legion series in the UK at a Halifax Home Bargains. The series consists of Rot Gut, Divebomb, Bluestreak and the Ace Vehicon. Click the discussion link to join in the discussion.
Nevermore
They're still available in Germany…
payres
There hasn't been anything past those released!
russellestate: you may have missed the boat on these: they came and went very quickly, especially the Commanders.
Hanzkaz
Not too pleased about that either, myself. I haven't seen anything past Voyager Grimlock and Deluxe Bumblebee.
russellestate
Anyone willing to pick some of these up for a US fan?
FigureGunplaFan
Only wanted that Magnus…and Bludgeon if needed.
Dillatron
They look pretty good.
RedAlert Rescue
Argos don't restock if no one buys the previous ones and my local Argos still has wave 1 Cyberverse commanders.
But I will check other towns when I have the chance if it does not show up in Tesco in the meantime.
payres
Both been in Argos for months now: easy find. Just get em to pull all their stock on a customer view. Tescos have had them and, iirc, ASDA and TRU.
Huffer was in the same wave.
RedAlert Rescue
It looks like the ones that will be tricky to find are the Green CbV cmd Optimus and Cbv cmd Shockwave.
My Local Home Bargain had everything mentioned above Plus Rescue Bots Energise Bee and Optimus as well.
They also sold the Kreo Non-branded sets that are themed around aliens/zombie attacks.

Please bare in mind these toys are all in European Packaging so they are not stock originally destined for Canada or America and then imported as clearance to the UK (that does happen) but it's not the case with these toys.
It's nice to finally find Dlx Prowl and Nightshadow Bee though. I've wanted them for ages…
It would be nice to see some of the more obscure Constructbots though as I've yet to see a single one of the Beast Hunters branded ones… Skystalker looks very appealing to me.
Consider the UK just got he newer Rescue Bots (bar Bumblebee for some odd reason) and the missing wave of CV Cmmd has also shown up in Tesco. as have some of the 5 step combiners we are doing OK – all be mainly with items well off the beaten path in terms of core brand or current relevance. (excluding the Beast Hunters stuff I suppose).
The only concern now is the ongoing stupidity of Generations being an exclusive to TRU-UK (effectively killing the whole point of a 30th Anniversary toyline stone dead in the UK) now if only the 2013 Botshots would finally show up too then I'd be super happy.
It is a shame that Tesco never took the 2nd wave of Predacons Rising toys though. There was some stuff in there that appealed to me.
payres
You didn't say so at the time. Are you sure you mean the white Ace Vehicon as opposed to the normal grey Air Vehicon? Because there's no recorded Ace vehicon sighting in the UK before this week and none in ASDA full stop.
Neo-Primus
That's cool, shame I moved from Great Wyrley a few years back, my local Home Bargains has nothing lol
Sol Fury
Yeah skipped our usual "full price" places.
And I'd not conspiracy theory Hasbro as being responsible – more like stores didn't want to buy it for similar reasons to what you said.
Ravenxl7
Hopefully these make it to US retail… somehow. All I need is Bludgeon and the Ace Vehicon and my TFP Cyberverse collection will be complete… in my eyes anyways.
BB Shockwave
I wonder who it is who decides what makes it to the News part of TFW2005. Makes a really odd sense to put UK news there but ignore Canada and the rest of Europe, where these have been out for a MONTH now.
ZapRowsdower
Is this straight to discounters in the UK? I'm a bit surprised…
These are already out in Canada… so… wtf? I think Hasbro is purposefully withholding shipments to the USA, because they want to let the stores make space for 100% Movieverse stuff, come May. If they gave stores this shipment, stores would have even less space for the flagship Bay-toys. Right?
Tytus
Bet these never make it to US retail.
Big Lots or fivebelow, maybe.
Raiju
Damn, I really want Ultra Magnus.
BB Shockwave
They have been out in Germany, Slovakia and Hungary for a month now, we even made posts – but sure, only the UK and the US are frontpaged.
Bludgeon, Ultra Magnus, Unicron Megatron and the oversized Voyager Predaking and OP are out too here.
payres
The final Commanders Wave (UK#4/US#5 – US Wave 3 got split between 2 waves here) has been found too:
