For years, t-shirts, spectacles, lunchboxes, trainers, you name it have all been made better by having Transformers images emblazoned all over them; now this August you can add postage stamps to that list. That’s right, you too will have the opportunity to own possibly the only Transformers merchandise to have been personally approved by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II! Royal Mail is releasing an official TRANSFORMERS themed stamp collection and has chosen TFNation 2022 as the place to reveal the designs to the world. TFNation attendees will be the first to see the collection’s specially commissioned artwork. You can see examples of other stunning Royal Mail special collections here - shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-issues but naturally, a Transformers collection will of course be… More Than Meets The Eye! Our friends at Royal Mail have also managed to enhance this collection with a few special accessories which will only be available at TFNation 2022 and will be joining us to talk us through just how this all happened. Remember, philately will get you everywhere! TFNation 2022 will be taking place from 12th-14th August 2022, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, in Birmingham, UK. We encourage you to be the type of first class attendees who secure their tickets early, by visiting the following link: tfnation.com/2022/registration/ |

This is the announcement I'm most excited about so far this year! I hope I don't miss out on talks or merchandise by my attending only Sunday. I don't collect stamps as such, but I do like to get presentation packs of subjects and designs I'm interested in. For this, I'll be buying first day covers, uncut sheets and whatever else they release!  |

I have been sitting on this for months knowing this would absolutely appeal to many here and knowing how mental it actually is when you stop and think about it.
I have also seen all the stuff.
OOOOOOOFT is all I will say.

Anyone going to get a set to put with the Dr Who stamp set? How many stamp are normally in a set?

It varies between six-ten, I think, depending partly on whether there's a mini sheet in addition to the main set, and which stamp denominations they use.

I guess none of the designs will feature Stampy. Nor Beast Wars Inferno - for the Royalty Mail!

I assume all characters will be depicted in their post Cybertron forms? Also, I hope the detail in the art is followed to the letter. Also, I hope Arcee is on one - wouldn't want just the mail characters appearing. I look forward to them address-ing this at the office-ial event.
Wait a minute...STAMP of approval! Hah hah!

Good lord. I see the Post Office have moved a bit beyond simple first day covers. That is quite a lot of tat.

I'm always glad when Ralph feels compelled to spend money.
Mind you the art on these is quite nice. A presentation booklet wouldn't go amiss.

*looks more closely*
Hang on, this is new Andy Wildman art? Who coloured them? That looks like John-Paul Bove's style. This is a bit more serious than I thought.

Oh definitely. I assumed being the PO this would be some stock Bay movie image stuff, but as this is specifically celebrating the contributions British creators made to the comic, this needs a purchase or two.
