Masterpiece THUNDERCRACKER Available For Toys'R'Us UK Pre-Order

This is great news for all UK Transformers fans and collectors alike!

Whilst scouting my local Toys R Us, fresh with the knowledge of a US TRU exclusive of Masterpiece Thundercracker in their systems, I quizzed their very helpful manager Darren on the matter.
I asked if I could place a pre-order for the Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker which Toys R Us had gained an exclusive release for. He tapped a few buttons, called a colleague and hey presto, there 'Cracker was on the UK systems and available as a pre-order (delayed pick up)! :grin:
As you can see from my picture below he is priced at £59.99 but not going to be instore until late August/early September time.
There is still no confirmation as to which mold will be used for this version.

Thanks to a little detective work by Seibertron.com member robotmel we have more information/confirmation regarding the recently discovery Toys"R"Us Masterpiece Thundercracker. After speaking with a Toys"R"Us UK store manager he was able to successfully pre-order the figure. It was priced at £59.99 (about $92.00 USD) and scheduled to arrive late August/early September.

Cool, though I may not jump at that price. I got Skywarp for £20 out of Argos so may wait and see what happens with Thundercracker.

SDCC is right around the corner. Seems that Hasbro is waiting for that to show the bulk of the big reveals of the year. With a little luck, we'll see Masterpiece Thundercracker and Voyagers Breakdown and Thundertron.
