Does anyone know the date of when it should be out? and Electron I think you're right, it's just best to wait and see!

Mykltron wrote:Thank you for your reply, but it doesn't even attempt to answer my question. Can you please explain WHY Europe gets Transformers *so much later* than the US? It's not as if shipping them takes a long time like it did 500 hundred years ago. We got the first wave of Revenge Of The Fallen toys at the same time as everywhere else but then later releases in that line have *still* not shown up here. Why is this? It's ridiculous and we, the British Transformers collectors, are *very* frustrated by it. Please explain why we have to wait so long.

Lockdown91 wrote:Thanks for the update Mykltron, maybe if enough UK collectors send emails to them asking why we havent recieved half of the toys they advertise, then maybe they'll do something about it in the future, do you hae the link where you sent your emails? or was it by post?

Will Hasbro be bringing the "Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock" figure to the UK and Europe?
Many thanks,

Maybe TRU decided to bypass Hasbro UK and try working with people that know their arse from their elbow?

Dear Hasbro,
As a long time fan of the Transformers Franchise, I often look to try to purchase new products whenever they are available.
I am very interested in the Masterpiece Grimlock figure, but you were unable to answer my query. I have since contacted a leading UK toy retailer who have confirmed they will be carrying the item want. How do they know they are carrying it, but you don’t know that you are supplying it to them?
The state of Transformers distribution in the UK is very poor, we get incomplete lines, and missing waves. It is often easier for UK fans to import the equivalent Takara product or US sourced items form Ebay sellers. Often at a similar price to the RRP.
Why is the UK market treated so poorly?
Regards,
Steve.

Pretty much a word-for-word cut and paste of what they sent to Mykltron a few emails ago. To say that I am fuming about being treated with such contempt by a company that I am TRYING TO GIVE MY MONEY TO IN A RECESSION, is a fudging understatement![]()
They have not attemtpted to enagage the consumer in any reasonable dialogue and have blatantly put this issue in the "too difficult" box.
You don't want anything to do with me Hasbro UK, well guess what? The feelings mutual. Takara, Ebay sellers and UK-based importers will be seeing most of my businees from now on. I will avoid you wherever possible[-(
