Stores already have the catalogue in but they are not unpacking them until tomorrow morning (at least they shouldn't). If your local branch does put them out early, let us know what Transformers listings have been added.

FullMetalHero have posted a reply from Hasbro U.K regarding upcoming Transformers releases. The answer is as pretty generic as you would normal expect, basically saying stock will depend on demand and to try Toys R Us as they have the most listed, but you can view the reply below.
Thank you for your email and we apologise for the delay in our response.
Regarding Fall of Cybertron, we do not currently have confirmed dates as this can change depending on availability and retailer demand but we are bringing in new waves of Deluxe and Voyager throughout next year and Toys r Us will be a good place to find these lines as they have them listed. We are not aware of any double packs scheduled for UK release.
The Kreon Microchangers are currently available from retailers such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys.
Kind regards

Great news for UK Transformers Prime fans, Hasbro Inc's UK support staff are now replying to enquiries regarding the release of Wave 3 of Transformers Prime by telling people that the figures should start appearing in stores towards the end of June and the start of July. The figures, which are suppose to be available from all good retailers, will mainly be found in ASDA who have one of the best track records over recent months for actually stocking new figures (just not around be us).
Wave Three includes another release for Bumblebee, Arcee and Ratchet (who have often been difficult to find) as well as the official releases of Knockout, Hot Shot and Vehicon. Keep you eyes peeled.

Following on from the recent news story regarding the Australian release of Masterpiece Optimus Prime version 2, where we commented that we'd expect Toys R Us to pick him up within the UK, well it seems that Hasbro UK have now come out and pretty much confirmed out thoughts. TFW2005.com member Sweeny28 has posted a copy of an email reply sent by Hasbro UK to a question he posted them regarding a possible UK release. The email, which can be seen below, confimred that Hasbro are hoping to release the toy on these shores in the Winter and that they are looking for a major toy specialist to pick up the figure in order to distribute him.
Here's a copy of the full email:
"RE: Transformers MP10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime
Thank you for your email.
We are hoping to be able to bring the Masterpiece Optimus Prime in to the Transformers line this winter and if available you will be able to find it major Toy specialist stores. More information will be available in the coming months
May we thank you for contacting Hasbro and if we can be of any further assistance, either now or in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards,
