Generations Minicon 8 Pack EU Only?

Motto: "Know that I am Razorclaw, that my reality is not yours, and while I share Tigerhawk's dual Spark and Vok heritage...
I am NOT he!"
Weapon: Ion Particle Blaster
Or, how to make Razorclaw0000 cry the bitter tears of desperation...

Remember the Minicon 8-Pack in Generations-colored box we told you about in the summer?

The Allspark reports asking Hasbro and Hunter PR (Hasbro's public relations firm) what the status of that set was, and received this response:

Hunter PR wrote:The Mini-Con 8-Pack did indeed ship, but only in the EU. Sorry.


The original boxes seen on TaoBao did have multi-lanaguage text, consistent with a European release. If anyone has purchased this set in Europe, or elsewhere, let us know so we can keep everyone informed.

I'd consider myself lucky finding one. Our stores aren't "grand" enough to carry it... well, maybe ToysXL will.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

It's nice to see Hasbro UK/Europe sharing the "love" to our Trans-Atlantic collector brethren. Anyone know anywhere in the UK that it shipped to? Older TFs have a habit of turning up at shops hereabouts so I could theoretically pick one up for someone who wants it.

edit: I could swap you for something or other that's US only. (Or for which pre-orders are sold out here in the UK.) IF I find it.

assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Not me but I'll be happy to help if I ever do. Did I mention that I live within a five minute walk of Hasbro and you'd never believe it?

Going to Liverpool tomorrow, their more likely to appear there, but they could always end up in Tesco, Asda or even Argos.

If I have the cash, much like DM I'll happily shove it on ebay for the same price as a Buy It Now, Hopefully with the Transformers brand lowering down at the moment we may be able to snag these at a decent price, the more the merrier :D

I for one, even with my love of minicons these dont appeal to me for some reason, possibly because I own a few of the molds already :???:

How lucky we are here in Slovakia. Deluxes for 19 EUR, voyagers for 38 EUR, leaders for 66 EUR, Human Alliance for 48 EUR. We almost never get anything past wave1 or wave2, and sometimes we are treated with something special like NEST BB+Soundwave 2-pack for mere 49.99 EUR. All those people envying the Europeans some petty "exclusive" item should think twice. For me, 75% of what is commonly available in the US is exclusive.

Having said that, I confirm this minicon 8-pack has been sitting here on the shelves for almost 2 months now (and I heard they were available in Hungary too).

If anybody is interested, I can buy these for your or trade for something I want and will never see in my country.

Oh, one small detail, be it Hasbro EU pricing or greed of our retailers, the 8-pack was 23.99 EUR, IIRC. Just as expected.

EDIT
I took this photo on November 8, 2010 in a tesco store.

And this is the only one ultimate leader "Starscream" we got. You see... battle damaged OP with hooks everywhere for very affordable price of just 66 EUR and Starscream only gets here by mistake and only his box!!! Hurray, we got the super rare minicons, wooow

OK I've just visited the likeliest places that should carry this, and well nothing. But I've found out that the Generations Wave 1 Deluxes have started to arrive so we might be getting this and the blister-pack mini-cons later.
