Has anyone actually seen any Marvel Transformers in the shops? Because I haven't (granted, I usually forget to check the Marvel toy sections) and I was wondering if they'd actually been released in this country.
I don't recall my current main wholesaler having them, but I might just have not noticed because I had Wave 1 on preorder with the supplier that went out of business.

I've never seen them, but Ralph reported seeing the first and... maybe second wave in Forbidden Planet. Certainly no non-specialist toy departments I've been in (Toys'r'us, John Lewis, the back of Argos) have had them. I want a Thor, dammit!

FPG had wave 1 in for about a week a few months ago. I had just assumed we weren't getting the range as a general release over here.

Hmmm. I need to speak to my supplier. I shall enquire after the Marvel line when I call, if I remember.

I've seen them in Tesco's and Toymaster over here, and they don't seem to be shifting too fast.

Our local Asda has them now, though I don't know which, as I didn't see them myself. Also, they are listed as "awaiting stock" on one of my supplier's websites, which supplies to independents. It looks like they're finally becoming widespread.

In my defense, T and R are next to each other on the keyboard.

Eanks are small furry creatures from a Hell dimension just left of Bradford. It is best not to invoke their name!
