Sorry if there has already been a post about this, but does anyone have a clue when the UK can expect to start seeing some DOTM wave 1 on the shelves? Cheers

The official street for most of Europe is mid- to end of June, but breaking those dates seems to be hot now: Sweden already has them for sale.

June? Where did you get that from?

A local shop told me they are expecting the toys in May. When I spoke to them in April they didn't know what part of May.

I said "Most", meaning mainland. It's close to the UK date it seems.

Anyone know if RTS/Generations are done and dusted over here? It would be nice to know if some of the later waves stand a chance of the odd case turning up in a TRU or if they all have to be Ebay after the Wreck-gar/Perceptor wave.

Transformers At The Moon member Duckstar has posted in the message board an email he recieved from Toys R Us in the UK. He wrote asking if the UK street date was the same as the US. This is the reply he recieved:

Dear Mr Hughes, Thank you for your recent e-mail. I can confirm that the release date for the range in the UK is also 16/05/11.

I hope that this is of help to you.

Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Talking about language...: Even when it's about the UK they use their own language. :P

Anyhow, here in the Netherlands a lot of DotM toys have hit the high streets since last Tuesday.

Wow Armada Prime - you've just had your grammar corrected by a foreigner!

I went in a local non-chain toyshop yesterday and they confirmed they'll put the toys out on Monday. They already have them in but won't sell them.

I'm Irish and we usually have the same release dates as the UK and I saw DOTM Voyager Ironhide Optimus and Megatron in smyths(irish toy store) today, they told me they weren't aloud to sell them yet but since they have them they are obviously getting ready for the 16th, they also said they have lots more in the back, but I only got to see the 3 voyagers since they were on top of the shelf
