We popped down to ExCel, London last week for the Toy Fair. We chatted to Hasbro, Cards Inc and played with lots of Transformers that aren’t available yet. We also snapped some great photos of the toys we played with. Check out what happened here.

News from Toy Fair 2003 in ExCel – London
This is just a quick note to keep you abreast of things; we’ll have a full feature article up on the site as soon as the photos are developed.
I popped down to the UK Toy Fair in ExCel (London) today to see what Transformers we can expect to see in our shores this year. I spoke to Hasbro about Armada and G1 reissues and the news is surprisingly bright. They had reissues of Optimus Prime, Starscream, Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod, all of which we can expect to see in the UK at some point before Christmas.
Most of their Transformers display was centred around Armada though. The Armada Optimus Prime looks superb, and actually transforms himself. Now that’s lazy.
I spoke to CardsInc about the Generation One sticker album, and that will be out this year in all good newsagents around March/April time.
There are more surprises to come, and loads of great photos so stay tuned. The Toy Fair is now moving on to Germany, and then to New York so our American cousins can catch up on what we’ve already experienced.
Ha!
