Our thanks go out to Michael Cicharski for forwarding us an email he recently received from Toys R Us UK regarding the Transformers Generationsand Marvel Universe figures. Michael email themlast week to find out why his local store had not had any new stock and this was their reply.
"Thank you for your email regarding Marvel Universe and Transformers Generations figures, I have contacted our buying department and they have advised that we have no further orders in place for both of those ranges and that they are being discontinued.
I am afraid we have sold through the remaining stock of the transformers Generations figures throughout our stores nationwide. With regards to the availability if the Marvel Universe figures we do have a lot of stock available in other stores, if there are any specific figures you are looking for we can attempt to locate them and have them transferred to Merry Hill.
Once again thank you for taking the time to contact us,
Yours Sincerely
Toys "R" Us Customer Service
Michael contact Hasbro UK's customer service team regarding whether this was a general discontinuation or whether it was just Toys R Us stopping stocking the figure, but they have thus far declined to comment.
KOToys.com recently posted some images of their first upcoming Ghost Conehead seeker Thrust. The images also include the wings for Ramjet / Dirge and can be seen here or via the mirrored images below.
Our thanks go to Pete Brown and Shadowdancer for the following Transformers toy sighting reports.
Shadowdancer reports that he has "just been to Toys R Us and they have in stock Generations Scourge, Sergent Kup, Cliffjumper and Soundwave. I also noticed small 4 figure pack Legends (DOTM) and the massive Sentinal prime, Bumblebee and Prime as of yet no Shockwaves. Also at Toymasters in Letchworth they had a few RTS Windcharger at £7.99 i got two of them."
Pete Brown, on the other hand, has sent in some Tesco sightings and discounted figures. "My local tesco at Tower Park, Poole is selling all Dark of the Moon deluxes for £8.49 and the Legends size cyber-verse toys for £2.99 each."
The Allspark.com report that there are "three new auctions have appeared on Asian auction site TaoBao.com. Three auctions for repackaged Cybertron Scouts on Generations packaging (Like the Mini-Cons before them, the card backs do not actually say "Generations", however they are the same red as the Generations card backs, and not the yellow of Hunt for the Decepticons or Reveal the Shield). The auctions are for Undermine, Wreckloose, and Backstop.
For those of you that may not think this newsworthy, as these toys have had multiple card backs before, a closer look at Backstop may be in order. Instead of purple and mustard, the toy is now gray and blue!
