Vicious circle much?

We're now only a few months behind the US rather then a being a full year behind as we were at one point. For the end of cybertron they released a hell of a lot of new figures quite quickly and the shelves haven't been too heavy with countless numbers of repaints or earlier shelfwarmers.
However don't think I've gone soft on them! Far more annoying then the wait is the completely random list of figures that fail to get released over here. Figures such as cybertron Red Alert or his repaint Cannonball. Both of which I own, but only thanks to imports (I own the Japanese version of Red Alert and the US release of Cannonball).

I thought this catch up that H,UK has been going through is only to get in line with the US for the movie figures release. If however they do manage to keep in line i'll be buying a lot more figures from UK outlets.
They still need to work on their wholes in their figure assortment though.

Grrrr
Because you're a TF junkie?!
What's annoying is that they ALWAYS seem to wait until I have the toy before bothering to stock it... grrr.
I could really do with a local TrU.
In my expierence, they don't tend to be much better
