I do it on purpose, the feet look terrible to me  

 

So I emailed IDToys about my pre-order of SS Bee Optimus and Rampage, basically asking when they will be in. They told me that Optimus is expected later on this week (or at least around then), and as Rampage isn't being stocked in UK they are importing he and Scrapmetal from US. They said they will be in stock somewhere in April (I think) but nothing confirmed. At least I can settle my nerves  

 

Does anyone have experience with Star action figures? I ordered Optimus and Bonecrusher. But they’ve sent me the wave 1 optimus! Despite picturing number 32... Anyone else had any trouble like this?

 

I've ordered from them a few times without any issues. It's probably (hopefully) just a mistake by the packer.

Have you tried contacting them over their FB page or email?

 

I’ve emailed, but FB page would let me add photo evidence so I’ll try there if I don’t get an email back after a while

 

Oh dear. Was considering collecting the Devastator components if I saw them in the wild, but that’s evidently not gonna be the case. Glad to hear BB Prime is still on the way though, I preordered him at Kapow.

 

Isn’t it weird that the Devastator figure was revealed at a UK convention, but those figures aren’t gonna be sold here. Very bizarre. It seems there will be uk stock for long haul and Hightower (at least those are the ones that are on Kapow. So hopefully this is just a weird choice for that wave.

 

Maybe it’ll be a situation where all the figures they’ve missed so far (so like Siege Chromia apparently is too) just end up at discount chains a lifetime later. We can dream! The Smyths I used to work in got CW Starscream in like nearly a year after his original release after all.

 

And yet they don’t have Scrapmetal for preorder yet!

Personally I got bored waiting and preordered Scrapmetal from TFS-Express.

Another symptom of Hasbro UKs slack attitude, that they aren’t going to sell all the parts for Devastator in the UK. I guess us UK folks can go without a hand or leg, we’ll be just fine  

 

It could well be the Studio Series Rampage and Scrapmetal won't be shipped in solid cases, which is what we think IDToys and Kapow order, but might be in the assortments, like what we believe has happened with Chromia

The Soundwave I ordered from Amazon is apparently arriving tomorrow (12th April) which I didn’t even clock when I ordered it. Looks like it’s time to clear some cabinet space! Still no Starscream or Ironhide, but Prowl is apparently in stock on the 16th.

 

Peg leg devy will be a UK exclusive, then they'll all be jealous of us, mwahahaha.

 

Ok, I'm officially confused. The Amazon order for Siege Ironhide that they "cancelled" back in Feb is now supposed to be landing with me tomorrow.

Ok....

 

LOL   It would seem my surmise that Sixgun would be a latter release because I've ordered him was right then!

 

Have they charged you?


For Studio Scrapmetal and Rampage, importing from Amazon US is the same cost as buying in the UK.

They have stock.

I presume Hasbro UK will look to release all constructicons in later waves as doesn't make sense to release disparate characters 12-18 months apart for UK market esp given their historic approach.

 

There’s been an update from Kapow on Facebook. Kapow Toys LTD

Prowl in stock now, Ironhide and Sixgun processing, BB Movie Prime on Monday due to a Hasbro system error. In news that’ll please everyone they’re also intending to use Hasbro UK ‘as little as possible’ going forward, so although things might get a bit pricier, at least they’ll be more on time (and in Devastator’s case, actually show up!)

 

They're making no promises about SS Scrapmetal though so if you're assembling an SS Devy I'd recommend picking up an Amazon US one, or sourcing elsewhere.

 

Ha, I also see Kapow have Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus in stock which I presume is Hasbro UKs official release with a nominal delay from the originally predicted release date.

 

Hi guys in Smyths today found series 2 of botbots if anyone’s looking for them
