No. I thought these were already out in the wild. I'm used to being one of the last to find these things.

This is typical. The US is the country with the cheapest transformers. The way the UK works is they usually simply use the US price as a nominal value and change the Dollar sign to a Pound sign.

I don't think the prices have been announced other than "similar to the leader class price point", besides all territories that isn't the US or Japan get screwed on price and/or availability. Not that I think that's fair or right.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Except wasn't there some kind of leak or finding about the sets for the US being about $50?

I would venture a guess that in the states we'll see a MRSP of $49.99 though.

Pulse made this big deal out of saying they were timing their figures availability with retail availability. But I see no evidence of that. We've got Wave 3 Siege sightings in some retail outlets, but none on Pulse. And Pulse hasn't added any new figures to the roster for weeks - it's been stuck on 28 since mid-April.
The Hasbro Pulse apple doesn't seem like it's fallen far from the HasbroToyShop.com tree....

I understand the frustration, but according to other online stores that wave is currently scheduled for July release.
