    There's one on at the mo. BB is long gone in TRU UK, and Ratchet is going the same way if not already gone. There's no carry over from one wave to the next on UK figures so there's a small window to buy them in.

    That is the final packaging as taken by a TRU UK worker who supplied the report and images.

    Okay. Just seemed a really odd choice to have that big white box in there.

    All the americans are shocked,but these are the prices we've always been paying in Europe. Makes the USA pricing feel a whole lot less outrageous huh? Our gas Prices are higher too.

    Not sure about the price, but I'll most likely get it because my 2 year old split Bumblebee into 7 different parts and lost 5 of them.

    And it's quite sad seeing him trying to play with Bumblebee with only a torso and one leg. He always says "Megatron hurt yellow robot daddy...".

    Sorry to bump this old thread.

    I just saw this two-pack at the local Toys'R'Us, so it's out in Germany too now.

    Price was 24.99 Euros.

    Just thouht people might be interested to know that i emailed ToysRus 3 weeks ago asking about the price issue. i got a generic email every day saying they were looking into it, then today I got the following reply.

    "> Dear Mr ******,
    >
    > Thank you for your recent e-mail.
    >
    > After further investigation into your query, I have been informed that these items are correctly priced, therefore, you do have the option to buy these separately or by as a pack.
    >
    > I hope that this is of help to you. Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
    >
    > Kind regards,
    >
    > Luke Anderson
    > Toys R Us Direct"

    Nice to see they put a lot of effort into he reply, giving absolutely NO justification for the price fixing. I did email them back thanking them fully for such a helpful answer, and yes it was a little sarastic.

    Strangley enough its now been redued to £15 online, ooh I think I may have upset the apple cart but they wont admit it. Ha Ha Ha.

    The Toys R Us Christmas catalogue is showing this as £14.99.

    One of the 3-4 Transformers items featured, looks like they really arent trying to push them this year.

    Really? When I went into one of our nearest ones the other week it had been expanded to about 1/3 of one side whilst retaining the front of an aisle. The front was all Animated, with the 1/3 space split up as 2/3rds were movie toys , 1/3 was universe and the last third was a mix of robot heroes and animated.
    Though they were still months behind most TRU store in terms of stock on shelves due to the back log.

    They still have so many Cybertron Primes for sale as well, he must be the longest selling Transformer ever in that shop.
