What still baffles me is the disconnect between Hasbro UK and Hasbro EU - meaning that the entire continent gets different kinds of awful distribution and availability! But yes, there is also the big part played by the various retailers, especially TRU, in terms of prices and what makes it through at retail.
Sigh.

All the exclusives are still under TRU, and I've never seen any of the 'better' figures around Italy, France, Germany or the Netherlands. Just ask RhA, JelZe, or Dead Metal - they get a lot of their stuff from UK fans, or import shops directly.

Yep!MightyMagnus78 wrote:Hasbro UK's marketing strategy for AOE was all wrong IMO, they should never have made the deluxe/voyagers TRU exclusives for a start. TRU could effectively charge what they want, as a result they're all self warming with nothing from later waves (which people might actually want) being pushed through. Crazy.
Thanks for this, I picked it up in store today.Crankcase79 wrote:For those interested I've had an email update from TRU to say that the evolution optimus prime packs are now in stock on their website. Message said possible limited stock so buy! Buy! Buy people!

ZeroWolf wrote:Marvel figures (well comic figures), some statues but they'll be more of an online thing. I'm still figuring stock out as there is still some Japanese toy lines I need to look at. On TF stuff, generations are the big draw as I want to do my part since domesticly we're let down. I do want to handle 3rd party and imports. Vintage figures, I'll stock what I can source, I'm allowing trade in on old figures.
