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.

Due to the recent server problems we missed reporting this news on Saturday.

Oddsey posted the following sighting on our message board of Transformers Animated Wave 3 Sentinal Prime and Swoop being in stock at Sainsbury

"Just picked up Swoop/Sentinel for £4.99 each from a Sainsbury's in Nottingham.(Castle Boulevard store)
I think this is the first sighting of that wave so far, so you may want to wait before trying your local store. Give it two or three weeks just to be on the safe side.

Be aware that some stores also do not stock toys, or may have only a small range that does not include Transformers.

Use this page to find the details of your local store, including phone number so you can ring and check if they have 'em in stock.

Also be aware that there is the possibility that they may have sold out of said figures before you arrive.

There are many other possible reasons that your local store might not have them available, such as Fire/Flood, other acts of God, industrial action, amongst others."

T-4-E posted this evening to remind everyone that "The 1/2 price sale in Sainsburys is only until this wednesday. I picked up a Swoop & Sentinel Prime on Sat for £4.99 each plus some Wave 1 Uni Legends at £1.49 each and Uni Robot Heroes for £2.99 each."

Happy hunting

Thanks to Break for letting us know Wave 3 of Transformers Universe are now in stock at Toys R Us UK/  Wave three includes Silverstreak, Sideswipe and Ironhide who are on the shelves along side Acidstorm and Galvatron.  Break points out that he does not know if Bluestreak has the blue face or the corrected silver one.

Also look out for a special offer later this week on a on a certain UK Exclusive 2-pack.

TFW2005.com members Boardwise and Sinestro have spotted some multi-lingual packaged Transformers Animated toys in Forbidden Planet in the UK. The figures, Lugnut, Grimlock and Blitzwing, are from Wave 3 of Transformers Animated.

Some Wave 2 figures, Blackarachnia and Ratchet have previously been spotted in some stores, and as Forbidden Planet is an import store, who occasionally stock UK products, these could turn out to be imports (possibly from Canada?) or pre-released European toys. Toys R US are known for releasing toys before their official release date (something confirmed to us by Hasbro), so it could be that Forbidden Planet did indeed purchase these figures from Hasbro UK.

For the moment we suggest that this story is treated as an import sighting, though we plan to try and speak to Hasbro next week to see what we can find out.

Cybertron.ca reports that Transformers Animated Wave 3 toys, Snarl, Oil Slick, Soundwave and Jaxx, have all been spotted in stores. Grimlock and Lugnut have also been spotted in stores.
