14/12/2003 Hasbro Reissue Wave VIII Announced

by Specimen-17 on December 14, 2003

Hasbro have said that Skids will be released in Summer ‘04 for the Series 8 line, and according to Canadian TRU computers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are coming with him!

In other news, all of Energon wave 1 has been sighted in America now, and most in Canada.

Superbase Prime has been marked down to £30 in the Salisbury branch of The Entertainer, so I assume they’re that price in every branch now.

Panini has said that Issue #9 will be last of the Armada UK comics (hurrah!), Powerlinx Jetfire and Red Alert have been seen in the UK, and I have an Armada Wheeljack thanks to Marie and Ira in Australia ^^;

That’s it for now, in the meantime send all fan your fan mail to Specimen_17gh@hotmail.com and get a free reply.
