Hasbro UK will more than likely ditch the DOTM later waves and tail enders like they have done for every other line. Pre-order them from somwhere like Kapow if you want them...

How can they ditch the end of every wave to make way for a new line? You'd think they would only need to do it once to catch up but they continue to do it.

Thing is, the consumer base in Europe is a lot smaller than it is in the US. Less gets bought, less gets ordered by stores. As a result, lines are ended prematurely in order to get the latest line in time. Always happens.

The high prices with VAT included (the Netherlands VAT is 19% for merchandise, and 6% for food) doesn't help matters either.
