Not that using the same name for two characters within the same line is unprecedented (Scout Deadend and Deluxe Deadend), but this seems kinda wierd especially considering the rumours of Rollbar possibly being in the movie as a Red Jeep. If he had been included in TF3, then he'd have three forms all in the same movie line!

EDIT: Found another one! http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rollbar_%28RPM%29

It's not the same line (RotF versus 2010) more like the same universe. Been there done that since the Unicron Trilogy.

Touché. I just find it kinda funny that Rollbar went from being non-existent in the Movie-verse to having so many representations, but poor old hound is still figure-less... :sad:

For Seibs and Mkall;

I checked the big store near me yesterday and there were none in, but the shelf-edge label was in place. I asked a member of staff who seemed to know what he was talking about and he told me that they are part of the x-mas range and stock is trickling in slowly. He checked stock on his PDA(!) and explained that there are only three pcs to a case and they are scheduled for ONE case on Tuesday night, ready for business on Wednesday morning.

I am in work today and have to pass two average-sized NW-London stores today on my way, let the Hunt(FTD) continue....

I truly appreciate the update. Please keep us posted!

If there's anything you're looking for that's available in the states, please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Mrs.Skywarp has text me to say that she has secured three of these sets. I am at work and posting from my iPhone, but will PM Seibs and Mkall over the next day or so :-)

That is fantastic! I really appreciate you helping us out like that! Can't wait to do a gallery of this.

Seibs/Mkall, by the time you read this you should both have a PM....

Interestingly the cross sell shows the "Sideways Sneak Attack" pack, I wonder if that will be coming to Europe too...??

Likely a general release everywhere, if not I'll go psycho. And you don't want Psycho Blurrz.

Have multi-packs of this nature ever been general release?

Thanks for the PM ... I sent you a response via PM.

I imagine this set from the UK will be out here in the US as well. It's been an extremely long time since the UK has had a UK only exclusive (not to mention Europe) that had a different paint scheme (Nightwatch Prime being the exception, which I only found out about recently). If I recall correctly, Beast Wars was the last series.

You've got a knack for reading my typos. I meant a general release around the world. And I believe Battlefield Bumblebee vs Infiltrator Soundwave was non-exclusive.

Thats the one!

I'll hook you up if they are easily sourced over here

As an N.E.S.T. promotion that 2-pack had to be, though right now it's shelfwarming pretty bad in the Netherlands without a discount in sight (though the RotF Legends are priced down in one store).

And blame my detailistic view of the world (I only see details, not the entire picture)

Not wishing to stir the hornets nest, but pretty much all of the store-exclusive stuff I've picked up here have been in USA packaging, bar a couple of exceptions. These were in a Euro-box, so who knows?

Talking of UK exclusives would the WFC-Starscream count or is he out of bounds as a promotional/exclusive?

Ah, good point. I forgot about him. Reminds me that I need to finish his gallery soon.
