Our thanks go to Mr Neurie for letting us know that The Entertainer now has the 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime in store for £49.99.  You can view an image of the toy in store below.

TFW2005.com members Locustreign and Unitedbot have posted a response from the Hasbro UK Transformers Brand Manager regarding various Transformers items that should see, and in some cases will not see, a release on this shores with 2010.

The email states that the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen N.E.S.T. Scouts and Deluxes figures will be released and that Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in the 2nd half of the year as a Toys 'R Us exclusive.  The mail goes on to state that both the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen N.E.S.T. Voyagers-class and Transformers Animated Arcee and Autobot Ratchet Cybertron Mode will see not be released within the United Kingdom.

Now even though the email is from the current Transformers Brand Manager this is not a 100% confirmation that those toys will not be released.  In many instances in the past we have been told that figures would or would not be released within the UK which went on to be dis-proven.  This is often because the brand managers do not know specific names of items within assortments, that they simply make a mistake, or that things change over time and certain stores import the figures through US based partner companies such as Target or Walmart.  This is more likely to be the case for the NEST figures as Hasbro were pushing them hard pre the UK toy fair.

Well the new Argos catalogue is out and the only new items are Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Legends Devastator - £21.99 (388/1147) and the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen N.E.S.T double pack of Bumblebee and Soundwave - £19.99 (388/2081).  Credit to  gojira72 for letting us know.

­Our thanks go out to Mr Neurie for sending us through news and images that Tesco have dropped the price of Transformers figures.  Deluxes now cost just ­£6.47, Voyagers £14.97, Leaders class figures stand at £29.97 with the Bumblebee voice changer mask priced at £25.97. As Mr Neurie points out, it now m­eans that scouts now cost more than deluxes in Tesco!
