The Allspark.com member Darkmount recently contacted Hasbro UK to ask when future waves of Transformers Generations would be released in the UK (so Wave 3 onwards), the reply he received back was that there would be no further Transformers Generations figures released within the UK. Now its quiet possible that the customer service representative only has the release schedules for this year and thus is not aware of 2011 releases, but time will tell
Thank you for your interest in our Transformers product line.
Regrettably, I can confirm that we will not be offering any further case assortments from the Generations line.
I
can confirm however that we will be fully supporting all other
Transformers lines, including the newly released Stealth Force toys.
Please continue to check your local retailer for new products.
Kind regards,
Sarah

Kapow-Toys have announced that the Wave 2 Hunt For The Decepticons figures are now hitting UK retail. The wave includes
1) Elita 1
2) Hailstorm
3) Sidearm Sideswipe
4) Tuner Skids
Kapow also pointed out that they received a solid case of just Sidearm Sideswipe so it looks like some it might prove difficult to track down some of these figures

As well as emailing regarding the Power Core Combiner problem, Adam Forse also reported finding the Deluxe Generations figures in his local Toymaster store (Exeter) priced at £9.99! Adam has rightly asked the question is this a "mistake, or a new price point?".
Let us know about sightings in your area whilst we try to find out from Hasbro UK
