This has to be an ID toys issue not Hasbro uk as loads of places have stock due and Smyths have received theirs + restocked already at my local store. Maybe Hasbro prioritised the allocations to the biggest orders.

 

Was thinking it was a bit strange to cancel when people have been posting about smyths having that exclusive seeker (name escapes me)

 

A mate of mine picked up the netflix megatron and hotlink today or yesterday (he only posted the pics of them today) that he says he got them from Smyths Nottingham click and collect, so they are out in the UK somehow.

 

Spoke to in demand and was told to pick up the voyagers if can from Smyths if they are instock which I since have been to pick up from York.
In demand are not getting any they say and possibly having to source the deluxes from somewhere else as likely Hasbro uk cancelling them also.

I don’t know if it’s a case that Smyths have got them in and it’s only going to be what they have had so far and that they might not get any more. Also might be worth checking those that have ordered with kapow?
But all I’ve been told is that Hasbro uk has cancelled with in demand last minute.

This has happened before with Hasbro uk and it’s likely down the line it will happen again.

 

How is the pick up from smyths? Are they open like normal or is it click and collect only?

 

Click collect, outside collection point.

 

Is this the same with kapow then? In terms of Netflix voyagers?

 

Don’t know you would have to check with them bud, depends if they’re getting their stock from Hasbro uk.
I’ve been told by in demand toys it’s a case that Hasbro uk didn’t realise that the voyagers had been agreed to be sold via Smyths (being Irish owned) by Hasbro Europe so Hasbro uk shouldn’t have offered them out.
In demand can get the deluxes though as they aren’t being shown in Smyths brochures just the voyagers and Magnus.

 

This! I’ve no attachment to God Neptune and it wouldn’t fit with anything else I own so it’s an easy pass....

I can’t believe Hasbro UK have yet again dropped the ball on Siege-Flix, I hope my Kapow preorders are safe...

 

Smyths do have the deluxes still listed.

 

Never have I pre-ordered so quickly  

 

Zavvi are still listing the voyagers

 

In Demand have now got a pre-order up for the Selects tape pack, due July at £25.  
PRE-ORDER Transformers Generations Selects Micromaster WFC-GS10 Soundwave Spy Patrol (3rd Unit) Team

 

And ordered! Heads up appreciated  

 

Thanks, also pre-ordered!

 

So just to repeat what some others have been saying, I just got an email from Matt at Kapow Toys informing me that HasbroUK have cancelled general retail for Netflix Megatron   I'm getting really pissed off at Hasbro UK right now. Not even just for myself but for how it sounds like they're screwing around the shops actually trying to sell their stuff! I've asked for clarification if Hasbro UK have cancelled general retail or just the boxsets like Megatron and Hotlink. I'm wondering if they're going to be store exclusives or some crap like that.
Matt did say they're trying to source them from elsewhere though.

 

Did you order Megs and Hotlink or just the one? I’ve ordered the pair, but no email as yet....

 

I haven’t had an email yet, I ordered Megs & Hotlink but also had some of the deluxes on the same order.

Edit: Ordered with ID

 

Nothing from Kapow yet either - but ID refunded my Hotlink this morning.

Sigh.

 

IIRC - and forgive me I don't recall where I saw the source for this story - Hasbro Europe promised them as a Smyths exclusive, failing to realise Smyths - an Irish firm - operated in the UK. Hasbro UK thought they were general retail and offered them to the usual suspects. Smyths printed up their UK catalogues saying these and Magnus were an exclusive and at some point the problem was realised. Smyths seemingly won the argument and if you want the Voyagers that's where you need to get them from.
