G1 Reissue Prowl has finally been released in the UK at £14.99, 3 years after the last reissue. The first sighting was by Crumplezone of Seibertron. Also, on the inside cover of the box, Inferno, Red Alert, Tracks and 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime are pictured. Inferno and 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime have already been confirmed, but Red Alert and Tracks are still rumours. Stay tuned for more news soon.
TF@TM are reporting that Star Wars Transformers wave 2 are out in the UK. This means Anakin and Darth Maul. Also Star Wars Transformers are the number 1 selling selling toy line in the Toymaster member stores.
Hasbro have finally updated the internatonal version of their Cybertron Website. The product page has also been updated with new figure listings that haven’t been released in the UK (yet). Hopefully they will be released soon
Scout
Clocker (Wave 2)
Hardtop (Wave 2)
Recon Mini-Con Team (Wave 2)
Deluxe
Red Alert (Wave 2)
Override (Wave 2)
Leader
Megatron (wave 1)
The “Where to buy” page has also been refurbished, but the link to hasbrotoyshop.com isn’t very useful. The site only ships to the USA and so is no use to people in the UK.
Sharkticon of our forums has spotted some new Cybertron figures in Toys R Us. Brushguard, Wreckloose and the Street Speed Mini-con Team, all wave 4 Scout Class figures, should be appearing in other stores soon. This adds more weirdness to Hasbro UK’s release schedule.
They also appear on toysrus.co.uk website as well as Backstop.
UPDATE Backstop has been seen by Skeggy.
Play.com have wave 1 of the Star Wars Transformers line (Obi-Wan, Grievous & Darth Vader) on sale from Monday. They also have Han Solo And Chewbacca on preorder from 6th June.
If you have any sightings of new Transformers in the UK or Ireland, come and post them here.
Chris McFeely has given us a sneak peak of the cover to Metrodome’s upcoming Masterforce DVD Box set, due for release on 24th April in the UK. See the image here.
After the past month of rumours of whether the UK would get any more reissues or 20th Anniversary Prime, Bluestreak56 of TF@TM has provided some more confirmed information:
let me just make this clear. The following reissues have entered the TRU warehouse as of 29/1/06
Inferno £14.99
Prowl £14.99
Smokescreen £14.99
Thundercracker £19.99Also 20th Anni Prime has entered the warehouse as of 29/1/06 £49.99
All Cybertron classes have also arrived in the TRU warehouse on this date.
Please be aware however, just because something is in the warehouse does not mean it will be distributed this week. It may be a few weeks before you see them on shelves.
It has been confirmed by TFAuctions that Transformers Cybertron will launch, in the UK, later this month, but TF@TM have received word that Toys R Us have the entire range listed in their computers, as well as some G1 reissues and 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime (better late than never), all due for delivery soon!
Expect some more news soon, especially with the new Argos Catalogue due for release in a couple of weeks.
