Cybertron Volume 2 DVD Cancelled?
Earlier this year, a DVD listing on Play.com appeared for Transformers Cybertron Volume 2. This was marked for a UK release on 6th November 2006 (today) but there has been no further news or listings from other stores of this DVD. It would be safe to assume the DVD has been cancelled.
New Hasbro.co.uk Listings
Hasbro UK has updated its online shop with two new Transformers Cybertron listings.
Cybertron Ultra Cyro Scourge – £24.99
Cybertron Ultra Menasor with Heavy Load – £24.99
These are the last Cybertron Ultra class figures not released in the UK. Expect them to appear in stores within the next month.
