Actually, now that I think about it - if we've got Shockblast ,why didn't we get Jazz?

 

 

Or Meister even??  It seems like European distribution on Alts is broken into two sections:

 

Example:  Italy gets Hound and Meister

                UK gets Swindle and Shockblast.

Damn - was really hoping for Wheeljack....

 

Oh well, Ebay here I come!

 

Good news for all who have been waiting for Shockblast and Swindle. Enjoy!  As tempted as I am to pick these up, I've made a deal to only collect one of each mold!

The North Finchley Argos store has them in, I just reserved both Swindle and Shockblast for pick up today via the website's check and reserve function.

 

Happy happy joy joy, Sort of. Now I need Hound and Meister but Ellismodels said that they will be getting them in stock.

 

Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent them.

 

Dear David Ellis

 

Just a few quick question about the Transformers Alternators you have

advertised on your web site.

 

Q. Will you be getting back in stock Battle Ravage and Swindle?

 

A. Both Battle Ravage and Swindle will be restocked.  Swindle will be early

next week, Battle Ravage will be around 5-10 days.

 

Q. Are Wheeljack and Shockblast in stock yet or do you have a delivery date for when you'll be getting them in stock?

 

A. Wheeljack and Shockblast are scheduled to arrive any day now.

 

Q. Will you be getting Grimlock, Decepticharge and Prowl in stock soon?

 

A. Grimlock and Prowl, we will be stocking at some point.  Decepticharge is

harder to get at the moment.

 

Q. Is there any chance that you'll be able to get Hound, Deadend,

Tracks(Blue) and Meister(White) in stock?

 

A. Hound and Dead End, yes.  Tracks almost definitely not since he is quite

rare in the US.  Meister we are currently looking at since his UK release

has been cancelled.

 

Q. Will you be getting in stock 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and Ultra

Magnus?

 

A. The US version of 20th Anniversary Prime has been discontinued now for

over 6 months and the Japanese release has been for over a year.  It is

unlikley either of these will be restocked.  Masterpiece Ultra Magnus is in

stock now; http://ellismodels.com/store/view_product....duct=MP-MG0ZE16

 

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Kind regards,

So I don't have to bother with Swindle and Shockblast now since i'm getting them from Argos, but i'm going to have to find Tracks and Decepticharge from somewhere.

Well I'm back from North Finchley with both Swindle and Shockblast so i'm very happy right now transforming them, also here's a bit of news, on the backs of the boxes they have Battle Ravage and Meister so fingers crossed Argos will get them in as well.

P.S. The boxes are Hasbro UK boxes encase anyone asks.

and hasbro uk say tfs aren't a popular line (i presume thats what they assume)

 

no shockblasts in stock and only 1 swindle, which i got, really likeing his visor.

 

and skeggy the bonnet thing happens with meister as well so *shrug*

 

i really dont see how hasbro uk claims not having this line even though it comes in boxes with their name on it
