Found this on the shelf at TRU in Brent Cross, NW London.

As with some of the other store exclusives, Hasbro have again gone to the trouble of putting this in multi-lingual packaging, increasing the possibility of this reaching mainland Europe.

The best bit however, is that TRU-UK are offering 25% off all DOTM toys and this set scans as part of that promotion. It is priced at the usual Hasbro exchange rate of £37.99, however with the discount it was only £28.49 :D

Who said it was for her? ;)

What do you think of the figures, PS? Any comment, both positive and negative?

Feel just as good as their single pack releases, although I'll confess to not having been a massive fan of the Bee head sculpt from the outset. Maybe because it looks so bloody big compared to Prime and Megs!

I get a very "Tron" vibe from the paint schemes, but I was a massive fan of the game and can see that they have tried to emulate the "overshield" animation from it. The Megs is too purple so becomes Galvatron without a doubt!

Deffo a buy with the discount, especially if you missed out first time round. At full price, if you already have them, I'd save for the Darkside set instead.

Shout me as usual if you want them :D

I already have Prime and Megs, thank you. :) Besides, I'm going to the States in less than 2 weeks, so hunting will be a bit easier for a while.

And now that you mention it, have you seen that Mini-Con 8-pack recently?

This one?

For an EU exclusive I only ever managed to confirm its' release in THREE countries, France, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It definatley didn't show here, in your neck of the woods and Dead Metal didn't see it in Germany. 27 member states my ar$3...

I ended up getting one from a French Ebay seller....

I did hear from somebody that it had been released in Hugary too, but nothing detonate. I'm surprise we got the ROC set tbh, given that it is pretty much Generations in all but name and Hasbro pulled it here at wave 2.

Even more so that the figures in this set constitute half of what was released!!
