The latest issue of the Japanese hobby magazine Figure King (issue 134) is now out in Japanese stores and Snakas has written his usual round-up of the contents on his Blog.� For those who can't read Japanese below is an English summary of the entry.

The Revenge of the Fallen toys for Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Starscream are all shown.� The Bumblebee figure is described as being the "general release" camero this time as oppose to the concept that the figure was based on for the first live action movie.

Transformers Henkei Smokescreen is features in this months magazine along with an article entitled "25 years of Transformers" which includes drawings of Henkei Starscream, Red Alert, Smokescreen and others.� The article ends with the words "The End" suggesting that the Henkei line will indeed end after the release of Smokescreen.

It's going to be really difficult to get hold of one now. I rushed out and bought one after I heard he had been discontinued on the TRU computers. I still had to do a 30 mile round trip to Coventry to get the last one in my area. Since he has been discontinued he is now getting increasingly rare and eBay scalpers are now putting the price back up. On eBay you are probably looking at around £100 now.

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not looking for him sooner, but after what happened with Skywarp I figured I'd have more time and that the price could have gone down. I guess that's the risk you take, now I'm almost certainly going to end up paying above retail. :(

KingGrimlock:

There are some still being reported in stores, but not many now. If I here of any I'll let you know!

thelastallosaur:

Thanks. If I can't get one soon then I'll probably bite the bullet and buy one of the cheap ones from america on ebay. Cheap being entirely relative here, I'd obviously be far better off finding one here. I'll have to react quicker when we get Rodimus.

Gruff:

I dont think I've even seen a piccy of him yet let alone seen him in a shop!

thelastallosaur:

I ended up going for one on ebay. Luckily I won't have to pay for it, it's going to be a birthday present. And of course, they'll start cropping up everywhere now.

quartz:

Ah they really that hard to find over here? There use to be loads and by loads I mean 25-50 in one of the two Toys R Us stores near me, the other one hasn't changed stock in 8 months. I need to go back and see if they still have them then

minion:

Not seen one on the shelves for a while now. It's a sad reality of price watching and waiting for it to (possibly) get cheaper that you may miss the boat. Glad I stumped up the money when I did now.

waraijj:

it's still in stock on the tru online website, i think you can still get it from there.

thelastallosaur:

I had a look, he wasn't listed any more. EDIT: Well, sh*t, he's been listed again. Now I'm really not happy after what I just paid for him on ebay.
