Hi, I jsut received word from HobbyLink Japan that they currently have stock of Wave 1 of TT's United line and MP Rodimus. They will be shipping orders out within a few days, so for anyone who's put in an order for Tracks, Lugnut, Jazz, and Rodimus, keep your eyes on your mailboxes!

Good news!
I missed out on this first United wave, but I've got my HLJ order in for the next wave, including Kup, Wreckgar, Scourge, Rumble and Frenzy, and Wheeljack.
I was lucky with Wheeljack, by the way: I was able to order him yesterday, and today noticed an HLJ order stop on him. Might be an advance warning of more order stops for the rest of the March wave.

I had Rodimus on order with them too. But decided to cancel the order due to generally unfavorable reviews, combined with my general lack of enthusiasm for Hot Rod / Rodimus as a character. I actually ordered United Wheeljack, Blurr and G2 Laser Optimus with HLJ to compensate.
The only good thing about not having direct access to the Generations and RtS in Europe is the fact that cost-wise, there is very little price difference between having to import figures from either the US (Generations / RtS) or from Japan (United).
