As you can see I've done a little archiving to remove finished toylines from the main list. The contents are stored in posts which are linked from the head of the main list in post 1. However this early post caught my eye: I cant believe they have again skipped not only a show character but one of the best toys in the entire line. If not the best. Shockwave is seriously good. Hopefully it will still turn up for people. There's rumours of Shockwave turning up in TRU recently. Can anyone check amnd see if it's imported US or UK packaging? |

One-Step Changers Galvatron, Slug, Steeljaw and High Octane Bumblebee have been sighted in the UK back in October: www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-sightings/86570-united-kingdom-transformers-sightings-3741.html#post11719054Megatron, Prowl, Rollbar and Strafe are/were listed at the Smyths website. One-Step Stinger has been US released (as an intended Walmart exclusive that was also spotted at multiple Target stores with a "Walmart exclusive" sticker). Odd he hasn't been found in the UK, because I personally found him at several chains (Real, TRU, Galeria Kaufhof) here in Germany. |

Megatron, Prowl, Rollbar and Strafe are/were listed at the Smyths website. But I believe they were never actually in stock! |

Question: Has RID Warrior Class wave 2 been released in the UK, or only Drift? I.e. are there any confirmed sightings for Optimus Prime, or is this the result of conjecture?
I'm asking because I've only seen reports of Drift being released both in the UK and Germany, and have only seen Drift in person at local retail.
I'm wondering if this is another case like that Megatron-less Legion Class wave from last year.

You mentioned seeing a load of DOTM BB with STL labels on at work: now I'm thinking about it I remember seeing loads of DOTM BB in B&M too...
There used to be a greatgrey importer named MBC, with a Chorleywood address, some years ago. They brought lots of TFs, and Star Wars, into the UK!

Meanwhile, I'm getting lots of reports of Warrior Drift at German retail (in one case up to five figures!), but not a single sighting of Optimus Prime yet.
Weird.

Okay, this is ridiculous.  Eight (!) Drifts at the same store, not a single Optimus Prime. Is Hasbro shipping solid cases to retailers again? I thought we left this type of prank behind us with the Armada era. |

It'd be consistent with earlier UK sightings of just Drift....

Drift did have case mates, but he killed them

Question: Someone on Ben Yee's Facebook claims that the super-rare never-released-at-US-retail AOE Power Battlers wave with High Octane Bumblebee, Vehicon and Junkheap was available at Toys"R"Us in Aberdeen in Scotland, and also appeared at Tesco and Asda. Can anyone verify this claim? |

Generations 30th section updated with grey import info. I've been looking into which cases were available and what we got and it's quite interesting....

Interesting. The time I saw these in the Portsmouth TRU they had Skybyte, Blaster, Roadbuster, Springer & Sandstorm all sat together. Which implies I wasn't quick enough to find a Blitzwing there...
On Monday they had none of these at all. All gone.

How many Blasters were there? There should have been an identical number of Blitzwings

One if I recall, sat at the back. Wonder why Blitzwing is Mr Popular given he's the knackered mould. Rarity I suppose.
