That's not a UK release, Xybertoys ship from Singapore.

Oddly, the first wave of classics deluxes they had were the UK ones, and the got em WAAAY before they came out in the real world. So REALLY not an accurate gide as to what is and isnt out in the UK.

I'd ask when in the US, but there's something about this guy that don't sit well with me. I'll get him, or wait for a blue version(I'm a cartoon fan, to me Rumble is blue) but probaly not open him.

I've emailed Hasbro's Q&A dept twice now about the US release, almost a month with no reply.

I've fired one off too. I'm fully expecting a reply that'll go something like this:

Hasbro Q&A Department wrote:Thank you for interest in our Transformers toy line! Please look forward the Dreamworks Transformers in theater July 4th!"

But I'm a cynic.

The fact that Ravage and Rumble weren't shown at ToyFair worries me, greatly.

Ditto. I was just wondering when they'd be out here... Hearing nothing is a little unnerving for an Alt. completist...

Maybe they are UK exclusives? That would suck for us in the U.S., but I really shouldn't complain.

Exactly. All Alts and the few Energon and Cybertron figures were all North American versions, so expect this to be the same.

why can't the arrive at every store at the same time so everyone is happy and especilly in the UK and the rest of europe. They don't get they'res till like a month later than america.

Sorry about that, I fix it. Someone told me it was a UK store sometime ago.

The word Botcon kept coming to mind when I thought Exclusive. Or Worse two more SDCC Exclusives. Exclusives do drive the demand afterall, especially when they're two figures receiving such mixed emotions.

Still I'm holding out that they are just holding off until the Rumble Figure is built up in volume to ship the full case compliment. Unlike the spaoadic UK releases which just tend to appear.
