With all the sightings of Generations, PCC and Leader Starscream from around the globe I'm getting frustrated cos ROTF Long Haul still hasn't shown up in the UK. I contacted Hasbro UK with the following questions:

1) Can you please tell me when we will be getting older Revenge of the Fallen figures such as Voyager Long Haul? He was released in the States many months ago but hasn't shown up here anywhere.
2) When will Power Core Combiners be available here?
3) When will Leader Class Starscream be released here?
4) When will the Generations line be released in the UK?
5) When will newer Movie figures such as Voyager Mindwipe be released here?

I got a reply the same day which is as follows:

I am happy to confirm that the Transformers Power Core Combiners, Generations range and Leader Class Starscream are all due for release in our autumn/winter range. We would advise that you contact us again at the end of the summer when we will hopefully be able to provide you with specific release dates/ stockist information.

Unfortunately we have no information currently on file with regards to the release of Voyager Long Haul and Voyager Mindwipe in the UK, leaving us unable to satisfy your request.

So there we have it fellow Limeys, we have a long dry summer ahead of us. If there are any Americans who would like to help us out by shipping them over and accepting paypal then PLEASE let me know!

Seibertron.com member Mykltron has sent Hasbro UK an e-mail asking for details concerning Transformers toy releases in the UK, here is his e-mail:

5) When will newer Movie figures such as Voyager Mindwipe be released here?

The reply from Hasbro came the same day:

This further cements the news that the NEST line in the UK and Europe will be missing the Voyager range.

In Brazil is the same story

[ShGarland_1383]

Good news for Brits about PCC, Gen, and Masterpiece Screamer, but not so much on the NEST voyagers...

? are you sure masterpiece starscream is coming to the uk?

[Swiftknife24]

Oh...No wonder I couldn't find Long Haul anywhere! Had to get him from eBay!

The only time I've seen him before is in Forbidden Planet in Leeds (which usually imports new stuff) last year...after that; nothing. :/

However I have seen NEST figures in various places...But only Deluxe figures.

The only HFTD figure I've seen is Battle Ops Bumblebee (though again it was the same Forbidden Planet, so may be another import).

In Italy is the same sad story.

Hasbro has a chaotic and unpredictable distribution here. Last week I have found Rotf Thrust and Gears together with a re-stock of deluxe Skids and Chromia and Legends Springer and Jetfire. I have seen neither leader Jetfire, voyager Long Haul and Grindor, nor the NEST line. In the end I get them from BBTS.

Every year, because of Hasbro Italy inefficiency, one half of my tf budget partly vanishes in gasoline to find them, and partly in shipping cost when I surrender and get them from USA.

I have seen the war for cybertron line but it was in a videogames store, I believe an import.

The European line must be called HUNT FOR THE TRANSFORMERS!!!

In the UK its getting to the point where its "if you see it nuy it as you may never see it again" when it coems to transformers.

Ive only seen the delux lockdown/brawn/ravage delux case in 1 tesco and only got those for my friend as i opened a box which was on top of a shelf and took the ones that were in there as I saw the employee look in the box then stash it on a different shelf down the isle.

[Lockdown91]

i was still holding onto hope

everywhere just has:

leaders- prime, megatron, jetfire
voyagers- mixmaster, megatron, ratchet, the fallen
deluxe- jolt, soundwave, bumblebee, the twins, ravage, blazemaster, wheelie, the bike twins

and then there's various boxes, soundwave & bumblebee, whirl & bludgeon.

in my local tesco they have a few packed boxes on top of the shelves that say 'transformers voyager assortment' and 'transformers deluxe assortment' or something, and they had one box open on the floor with lockdown/brawn/strike mission sideswipe/ratchet, but ive been back and theyve still not opened those other boxes, im hoping that in those boxes there'd be mindwipe, recon ironhide, bludgeon and the rest but im doubting it now :/

i saw in home bargains they have the superion set for £15, and i think some others but i didnt get a good look as i was in a rush that day. sorry for the long post!

Must have been imports. Comic stores do that alot, you know?

[Phill_D]

The Generations figures which are out in the UK aren't imports. They were shipped by Diamond UK to stores yesterday. They're Euro standard 12-language cards.

If the box's are there just open them my local tesco staff dont mind that.

and post as long as you want thats what this place is for after all

hmm yeah, thats what i did when i got sideswipe, brawn and lockdown, there was one box on the floor so i opened it and got those three, but the other boxes are right on top of the shelves and no ones ever around for me to ask if they'll get them down. When i last went (a couple of weeks ago) they had about 5 voyagers left, and I suppose that when they've gone then they'll probably open up one of the newer boxes. I just hope that if they do then it won't just be the same ones again.

Hasbro replied saying that the HFTD line will be released for their autumn/winter time so i'm also hoping that argos's new summer catalogue will have NEST figures, especially voyagers, and then the autumn/winter catalogue will have HFTD stuff!

Does NEST include Mindwipe?

[Lockdown91]

Does NEST include Mindwipe?

Hmm i thought mindwipe was part of the NEST line, and that's why he's nowhere to be found, Or has the UK simply not received any new voyager waves since wave 3.

I just checked on tf-wiki and it says that bludgeon and recon ironhhide were wave 6 and and that mindwipe was wave 7, so if thats right then mindwipe must be in the NEST line as he came after bludgeopn and ironhide.

[Neurie]

The last voyager to get released was Stratosphere. According to hasbros released info for the next wave of tf's well be getting banzaitron and seaspray.

Hasbro uk will not be releasing the green decipticon dumptruck, bludgeon ironhide or mindwipe if the information they have released thus far is any indication

[The Legend]

HasbroUK is releasing a poor selection of overpriced figures. I fail to find the news there.

[Pretender Skywarp]

I recently got the whole set of wave-1 Generations figures from "Toyz & Gamez", they were all multi-language, Euro cards.

The new stock is on our shores but has not hit "mainstream" shlves yet. What voyagers we'll see next are anyones guess.

As an aside, when ROTF toys came out, my TRU suddenly got a selection of 2007, Wave 5 Voyagers, all in US/English language boxes.

To my knowledgde, they hadn't been released here, god knows where they got them from...

[Electron]

new argos catalogue is out soon, so i think its best to wait and just see

Does anyone know the date of when it should be out? and Electron I think you're right, it's just best to wait and see!
