WTF! Hasbro UK really likes to screw with you Brits. I would riot or offer more bullets to the gun that Hasbro UK keeps shooting themselves in the foot with. Maybe in time they will get it right and aim for their collective heads!

This is what I like to refer to as Overlord Syndrome. Way back when, the UK was blessed with the Overlord Powermaster figure that had previously been only available in Japan, and the United States did not get it.

Now, fifteen years later, the people in the UK have to pay the price for it. Ultimately, I don't know why Hasbro seems so intent on screwing over the fans across the pond, but they seem to have perfected the method for doing so.

Part of the solution, a UK fan needs to mail me a G1 Overlord, and perhaps the Overlord Syndrome will be cured.

...HEY! It was worth a shot!

I honestly wouldn't be worried until the UK is a few waves behind the US in terms of Animated.

It seems strange that they would be cancelling it since they showed the show in Ireland during the summer and are advertising and are giving us new stock and it is selling well.

Hmm, our local TRU is alwasys stocked to the gills with figures from Animated, Movie and the odd Cyberton Leader. I havent seen so much TF gear in there ever, including during the height of the movie sales.

I dont know which channel TFA is shown on in the UK but its not one of the main, freely available ones otherwise I would have seen it in the listings.

I have only just in the last week seen a TV advert for TFA and it features the Prime/Megatron + DVD box set which is how old?

Hasbro UK dropped the ball once again. They should all be fired and I will do their job. Honestly, how hard can it be?

1. Ensure a decent supply of figures comes into the UK
2. Make sure that GMTV, ITV or the BBC gets the cartoon, NOT CARTOON NETWORK or whoever and ensure it is aired straight away.
3. Make new or dub the American adverts well in advance of the UK launch.

Oh look. I just did their job for them.

Most know my opinion about the show and the toys. My nearest Walmart seems to have a problem moving them from the selves as well. My friends that have kids don't like the show so they don't like the toys. They're all over the Ben 10 stuff!
Spectacular Spider-man is a better written, better animated show and has a better theme song... Hands down!

That's odd. My local stores (several each of TRU, Target & WalMart) seem to rotate through their animated stock pretty well.

The peg warmers in my area are SunStreaker and Prowl.

I've heard at least 2 parent/kid conversations where the parent was looking at Sunstreaker and the kid was like "No, mom, I want Bumblebee. I don't know who that is."
For Sale:
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose

Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)

PM If interested

It's odd really, Transformers Armada does well in the UK, sucks so much in Germany that Energon gets canceled.
Then Cybertron shows up in Germany, well what the rest of Europe left that is.
Movie lines does well in the UK, Germany still has wave1, except TRU.
Now Germany gets TFa on the best children's channel, adverts for the toys on that channel regularly during the week, 2 adverts back to back before and after the top viewed weekend cartoons. And they seem to get shipped out in big cardboard shelves that don't fit into the usual toy store corner. The shelves are almost empty every time I go to a store! And the very same line just seems to die out in the UK :shock:
Seriously, that is fu**ed up!

I blame Gordon Brown for being negligent. Parliament needs to address this failing Transformers issue and make Hasbro UK get their act together. :D Then they can worry about minor things like impending financial doom.
