Hasbro's UK odd website

Does anyone know how accurate this site is? It has a really weird selection of stuff. Don't know if anyone else is holding out on importing any Generations figures in case they don't make it over her, but they have Voyager Rhinox and Doubledealer, Deluxe Goldbug, Waspinator, Skids and Dreadwing, and Legends Swerve and Cosmos as if they were out now. I don't know if the site is updated regularly or is accurate, but with my limited knowledge I take it to mean that these figures should be cropping up soon. I found it noteworthy that figures such as Sharkticon Megatron and BH Prowl that are definitely out are not listed. Neither are the Legends class Megatron and Starscream which I would have expected before the Cosmos wave.

Is the website a load of crap, or is this actual information that is worth bearing in mind?

Edit: Oh, and it has Commanders Bludgeon and Unicron Megatron, which as far as I can tell, are not out.

The website is ridiculous. I never ever trust it.

I trust the TRU UK site more, and that's saying a lot.

"odd" might be the most polite way anyone's ever described Hasbro UK or their website.

Cheers Va'al. My poor logical brainputer cannot handle that level of irrationality.

I assume people must have emailed or phoned them at various times about the site. Do you know, has Hasbro ever responded with any kind of explanation? If so, do you happen to know where that response might be found? If not, I have a new mission.

It has the Botcon Hall Of Fame videos on it. That is Odd.

Right, time to get my game face on then! I do so love complaining when there is something worth complaining about and a poor mook who's not getting paid enough on the end of a phone to complain to. Really cheers me up! ...And what's that, a freephone number? Oh, that's sweet of you!
