structuraldefect of Seibertron has picked up Classics Optimus Prime from Argos for £14.99, even though he isn’t in the catalogue. Now, many of you will think that this is just a mistake by Argos, but Play.com also have Classics Optimus Prime IN STOCK for £17.99 as is MEGATRON for £19.99. So it seems Classics have reached the UK 1 MONTH AFTER THE USA.
Thanks to forum member knook for the news.
For all recent UK toy releases, see this list.
XyberToys have put up a pre-order for MP-05 Megatron, for £69.90. They are also offering a service to unpack and transform the item so that it can get through customs. Also to note is that it has not been revealed whether it will be shipped in Gun mode to begin with.
***MP-05 may or may not be factory packed in gun mode***
***PLEASE NOTE– VERY IMPORTANT ***
Due to the nature of this toy, Megatron comes packed in Gun Mode. And this may pose problems when undergoing customs clearance to all countries.
Therefore, we would like to highlight to all customers that we WILL NOT BE LIABLE for any actions taken by customs, e.g confiscation or taxes.However, we can provide a service to unpack the megatron toy, and semi-transform him into robot mode, and pack him safely along with the rest of the packaging for shipment to our customers. This would definitely prevent any ‘security’ problems at all customs points, and would allow safe transit of this toy to you. This has been tested and proven to work.
If you would still like to have a mint in sealed box (MISB) item, then please be reminded of the above agreement, that we will not be liable for any consequences of shipping Megatron in gun mode.
We sincerely apologise to all custoemers for all this hassle on buying this really awesome and rare toy, but we need to be honest and upfront on the possible scenarios of purchasing this product, mainly due to the current security precautions and alerts at worldwide customs checkpoints.

Forum member Nemesis Scourge has received a reply from Fan2Fan about the release of MP Megatron.
Not at this time, the sales at Takara-Tomy are reluctant to release info on releases more than 3 months away, I guess they want to keep us focus on their new releases. Anyway I am pretty sure they will be releasing it considering the amount of hype it has stirred. Price and details still unknown.
Out today in all good comic stores is IDW’s Transformers Spotlight Hot Rod. To wet your appetite, IDW has put up a 5 page preview and scans of all 4 covers.
