    No, no UK release, no "importers" have had them save for the couple InDemand had at TFNation.

    I'm told Target has them reduced - Ben's World of Transformers - if you can find a chum in the US to get you one.

    They have started to show up in Home Bargains and Quality Save if that helps? The £3.99 ones. Seen them on two branches so far

    Apologies, I meant studio shockwave. Siege shockwave is still £30 in smyths though.

    Astrotrain is still £49.99 @ kapow. That wont change until we get the earthrise wave repack as release has been v limited IIRC.

    Home Bargains have restocks of the POTP deluxes. They had at least two of each on the shelf. The Jazz figures are both the revised version.

    Anyone else have a Skywarp ordered on Amazon.de? Apparently it's meant to come into stock today.

    Given the alphastrike team, originally launched and available a fair while before the phantomstrike set, is currently on sale on amazon usa and has been for sometime after suddenly coming back in stock ($55 delivered https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07P2JB241/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1) ; I wonder if we will get a slow boat delivery of phantomstrike soon.

    It wasn't a cheap set which rules out the casual collectors buying up all stock and to be viable on a production run, they will have ordered 5k-10k pieces at least (really 20k-50k+ on toys) or if a smaller initial batch then a later production run given demand. Real stock sold out so quickly it felt like they only had a thousand available globally if that. Typically mainstream toy production factories won't run less than $100k-$250k min orders and at c $5-$7 boxed on pallet the phantomstrike will have needed a total batch of 20k units.

    Possibly factories and order queues backed up with later siege waves, studio and earthrise.

    Also the running change on starscream may have impacted on it.

    That's from Amazon UK, right? I remember someone posting about that. The German one was due between November 15th to January 15th up until today.
