@transformertoys just spotted tf dark of the moon reduced in smyths. Deluxe £9.50 and voyagers £16.99. All wave 1.
So the Transformers Dark of the Moon toys are back being discounted again, at least in Smyths.
Thanks to new father Paul Hitchens (The Spacebridge) for reporting the Transformers Dark of the Moonhas now already been launched in the UK (2 days early). The toys were spotted in Sainsbury last night.
Evening guys
It's been mentioned already in the UK sightings thread but I thought I would confirm with some pictures DOTM TOYS ARE OUT IN THE UK!
I found them in Sainsburys but there have been sightings in other stores
I found voyagers (Prime, Megatron, Ironhide) Deluxes (Lots of
Bumblebees!, Starscream, Roadbuster, Crankcase, Ratchet) and loads of
the lil Cyberverse toys (They also had the larger Cyberverse Prime's and
Megatrons)
Prices all gone up sadly, Voyagers £22.99, Deluxe £12.99 and Cyberverse £4.99. The bigger Cyberverse were £7.99 I think
Pictures below, happy hunting!!!
FullMetalHero.com, the website / community front-end for Kapow-Toys, are reporting that they have received wholesale listings from Hasbro UK for 4 Transformers Prime assortments. The assortments listed were
1) Prime Deluxe Assortment
2) Prime Voyager Assortment
3) Prime Entertainment Pack
4) Prime Role Play Blaster.
No release date was given for the toys though.
FullMetalHero.com are reporting an interesting rumour that a UK exclusive Transformers Dark of the Moon Leadfoot figure may be coming later in the year. According to Red Leader, "a well known UK high street wholesaler on Thursday indicate that the UK may be getting a Leadfoot figure in a limited capacity, no figure class details were revealed but the order quantity must be 5000 for the exclusivity and it may possibly be stocked by a high street chain well known for serving the UK with sci fi products, it is still an open offer so anyone can still bite. Go on TRU, you know you want to!"
This would certainly be an interesting and we will let you know if we hear any more
In an update over on FullMetalHero.com, Kapow Toys posted the following announcement yesterday:
"We received the full UK product listings up until Wave 3 today and the
new HA Basic's are not listed unless they are infact included in the
cyberverse line up but that looks unlikely. Perhaps this is a direct
result of the poor sales of the ROTF Human Alliance line which as most
people know Hasbro are still trying to clearance at half price and
without much success.
We will post the full UK waves later today and try and hopefully get firm word on the the fate of the HA line soon."
Does this mean that the UK won't get the scouts at all, or will they find their way into Tesco and Asda via their US deals? Time will tell
"This has yet to be confirmed directly by Hasbro but Forbidden Planet UK
have listed the following prices via their wholesale arm as the official
price points, the wholesale prices supplied which we cannot give out
would back up this price point if retailers are to make any money
1) Deluxe - £14.99
2) Voyager - £29.99
3) Leader - £59.99
4) Cyberverse Ark set - £44.99
5) Cyberverse Legends Basic - £5.99
6) Cyberverse Scouts - £12.99
Now this seems like a crazy move on Hasbros part if true, especially
after retailing RTS between - £10.95 - £12.95 on the domestic market."
