That's a disappointingly worded release from Kapow. Don't snub TFSExpress for taking pre-orders you wanted just because Hasbro UK couldn't get their shit together quick enough. When will Hasbro UK deliver theirs? 2023?

The cynical part of me wonders why Hasbro weren't bothered about serving EU customers until it looked like they wouldn't get enough orders.

Pricing to be announced today as well as any possible customs gubbins. Hard to believe there aren't any big name stores in central Europe but, this is quite a coup for Kapow!
I don't think their text was particularly poorly worded, they merely stated the facts as presented by Hasbro and TFS Omegalock decided to get snippy as always.

ActionFiguren24.de is a German Kapow-like company (with a slicker website and a loyalty system), and they have been offering pre-orders for Unicron but obviously not officially after all!
The mainland European ones tend to be pricey, possibly due to tax, and for the past couple of years it has often been cheaper for people to order from Kapow and pay more for postage. Kapow do promote themselves through the main German Transformers fan forum, as well.
Could all change soon though when the UK crashes out of the EU and the EU-Japan trade deal properly kicks in.

Despite this being fantastic work by Kapow, I still reserve the right to be very sarcastic towards Hasbro for leaving it so bloody late. And it's still way too expensive for me. But good that it can be an option for more people, now.
