Siege Exclusive Preorder News with Smokescreen in Canada and Firestormer Pack in UK

This is typical. The US is the country with the cheapest transformers. The way the UK works is they usually simply use the US price as a nominal value and change the Dollar sign to a Pound sign.

But even $64.99 USD would be a ripoff for 2 deluxes and a battlemaster.

You're forgetting about the "exclusive markup tariff", that non-standard box ain't going fold or print itself

Except wasn't there some kind of leak or finding about the sets for the US being about $50? If that was true, why is the UK getting screwed so bad on price to begin with?

I don't think the prices have been announced other than "similar to the leader class price point", besides all territories that isn't the US or Japan get screwed on price and/or availability. Not that I think that's fair or right.

I would venture a guess that in the states we'll see a MRSP of $49.99 though.

Well €74 is definitely not similar to the price of a leader class. £65 is not similar to a leader class price

Owch, hopefully the set will drop in price like the potp nemesis style prime did.

Hasbro Pulse is completely down as of this moment. Hopefully this means they are updating with new content - including Brunt. Pulse made this big deal out of saying they were timing their figures availability with retail availability. But I see no evidence of that. We've got Wave 3 Siege sightings in some retail outlets, but none on Pulse. And Pulse hasn't added any new figures to the roster for weeks - it's been stuck on 28 since mid-April.

The Hasbro Pulse apple doesn't seem like it's fallen far from the HasbroToyShop.com tree....

Hasbro said their site would be synched with the retail release date, not when retail stores choose to put their items on the shelves. The wave 3 release date is in July.

We have some pretty big news regarding international Amazon sites. Firstly, Transformers Masterpiece MP-47 Hound is now available to order at Amazon Japan. At the moment, he is ￥ 13,590 which is around $125 USD. there is a $10 shipping charge as well and, as you can see below, a customs fee depending on your country. The example below is Canada, which adds almost an extra $20. Clicking the pic will get you to the listing.



For Amazon UK, we now have a listing for Siege Greenlight who is £ 33.99. Amazon UK will be getting all these Siege exclusives and seems to be the go to place for affordable Siege toys in the UK with the sought after Soundwave for only £23.99.

Unfortunately, the limit is 2 per person, so you can't order all three Refraktors at once! But hurry and get them, if you're having trouble finding them on the shelf!

Oh, and that Decepticon Micromaster team is there too - it's just harder to get excited about those....

Thanks, bud. Been needing to use that $5 coupon they gave me.

For those who just can't get enough of that Moonracer mold? Nightbird is now up for pre-order at Hasbro "Pulse"!

https://hasbropulse.com/products/transf ... -nightbird

She may not be able to combine, but she can disguise herself as Moonracer, or Novastar, or Greenlight, or Lancer, or Chromia! Who can tell?

Grab this one before it disappears like a puff of ninja smoke!
