The Official 'Will we get this in the UK' Thread

[Stomski]

There have been numerous threads from the past asking if various waves/cases will make it to UK shores, so thought a single thread for people to ask may be a good idea. (Also because I have a question rrrrright now, durr)

Obviously this isn't an exact science due to over produced toys randomly finding their way into discount stores etc, but y'know.


So to start things off-

Anyone know if we're likely to see Generations Deluxe Fall of Cybertron Starscream over here? Not too keen to spend £22 on him right now.

Cheers!

I haven't heard anything from my suppliers.

I was offered preorders of Waves 1 and 2 in August. Wave 1 turned up in Toys R Us and Smyths in September. I had two suppliers who expected Wave 2 in October, though in the end they weren't released until late December/early January. Make of that what you will.

Thanks Nigel - I was thinking you might be the one in the know on this! Normal Wave 3 chance of release minimal then #sadface

Gavin Merrifield and I saw wave 2 (Bruticus) in Hamleys in Glasgow. Take from that what you will.

I've just seen that Ratbat toy - hope that we get the release over here.

Since it looks like a Japanese exclusive I'd say the chances are minimal....

[Bogatan]

TFSource do list it as Hasbro which could mean Hasbro Asia which could mean US release at least. Though it does look more of a Takara release.

[Philip Ayres]

TFW have aJapanese generations number for it

yes but it would've been dearer than TRU, which is £9 something! Forbidden Planet Glasgow also have them too! but they're still dearer there also.
