I was in woolworths and saw the two pack. Didn't have the money on me to get it (and I don't intend to), I didn't realise thetwo pack was going to be released in the UK, thought it was a Target/Walmart/Whatevs exclusive (and so exclusive to the states)

Some backstock do trickle to Europe, even exclusives. Hell, I got the Wal*Mart exclusive Primus with the 4 Mini-Cons not too long ago, and I live in Holland for Pete sake

Hey the Battle for Autobot City pack even made it to Australia is quite significant numbers (and has sold in quite significant numbers too) which is rare for a US store exclusive figure/pack. (well rare that is was released here at around the same time at least)
I think Hasbro decided to saturate all markets with as much transformers products as they can before the movie, to get sales off people who are getting dragged back into it before the movie is actually released.

Well that is posible, I had a similar expierinc since Alt Ravige is a exclusive I did not think I would ever see one in person but in Germany he is availible in almoest every Toy shop. But I wont be geting him since I think he looks ugly. But The magnus two pac, I'll be picing that up next visit to the UK.

I seen him yesterday in Argos as well as Woolies

If they'd been out a couple of months earlier I might have picked one up, but I'm not sure it's worth it now. I'd quite like the Magnus, but I'm already halfway through repainting a Skywarp, largely because I figured if it was coming out here, it wouldn't be for a while.
If I get the money together, I might grab one anyway, but I doubt that'll happen anytime soon.

In Argos too? Wow, aren't we thought of?

I expect nothing less than us Brits getting what the US gets.
I call it fair.

Yes, I've seen the set in WW too. And I look forward to buying it tomorrow.

Why did they even bother saying the RRP was £30? It's always sold for £15...

Dang. I've already painted my own Skywarp. With some red bits on him, that look surprisingly good. If it was £15, I may have picked them up, but I wouldn't pay an extra £20 for a figure I have no interest in.
