How about never? Or maybe the odd one will turn up in the summer.

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.
