Let it never be said that the UK always misses out on the Transformers toylines – while it is true we get shortchanged most of the time on anything past about wave 3, once in a while there is a turn up for the books, and today is one of those days, because Transformers Prime Voyager Skyquake has been sighted in UK Toys R Us stores up and down the land. Skyquake was the last of the toyline to have not been released in the UK in some shape or form – with this the entire Transformers Prime toyline has made it to these shores. Skyquake is in US packaging complete with “The Hub” adverts, indicating this is import stock rather than Hasbro UK domestic releases. It follows the very limited release of Skyquake through Toys R Us in the US.

Poor USA and UK, they have it sooo bad with TF figures!
Hah.

Damnation, no sign of it in any of the local TRUs I've checked here in NI. Fingers crossed they get some in soon.

At the risk of being awkward, for those getting excited about us getting the whole line, I'm going to point out the PRID Entertainment Pack and the Dark Energon stuff…
simond
They shouldn't be too bad, I just sold one on eBay for £32
Laserjet840
The prices for him are crazy, I refuse to pay this no matter how much I want it
sinwithme13

Nice to know the only toy in the line I really wanted, I will never get!

Kapow Toys seemed to get the entire UK stock of Deep Dive (multi-lingual boxes).
videriant
Thanks. Looks like it's the normal assortment then. Shame. Was hoping it was 2 SQ's a case. Sounds like Hasbro did cut short their production run then.
Autovolt 127
Nice Find. Give this man a credit.
EnergonWaffles
That figure is mighty fine…
might have to go take a look
JAYSCREAM
im not sure. theyd cleaned up the transformer section a bit in plymouth toysrus and they had a nice row of (front to back) 4 x optimus 4 x starscream 4 x thundertron, 3x skyquake (-1 ) 1 x starscream and 4 x magnus. on the end cap (wich i checked first…silly me) had a right mess of megatron, prime, starscream, thundertron, bulkhead and magnus……. so to be honest i cant tell what the hell was in the assortment????
but if it makes you feel any better plymouth has no mp prime and well never have mp thundercracker.
so swings and roundabouts and ive got a bloody long wait for any beast hunters stuff!!! lol.

Okay, so this isn't related to them being in the UK, but regarding US releases?
Found one at DD's Discount in Las Vegas. JIMIVEGAS found another out here–posted in the Ross/TJ Maxx/Etc. sightings thread in regards. Only two I know of. This was a couple weeks ago or so.
I've noticed that when DD's gets hard to find stuff and no Ross or TJ Maxx chains get them…they usually won't. But it's a possible sign?
NemiMonkey
Can I sig that?
While I'm glad he's been released somewhere I just wish he'd show up in the US already. Oh and this gives flashbacks to Energon UM all over again.
Chris McFeely
Yeah, but those didn't come out ANYWHERE. we got everything from that line that Hasbro offered.
(Did we get Deep Dive?)
Erector
Wait, you didn't see those? I bought about 300 at my local Wilkos, they were only 99p a pop. I set them all on fire, cheaper than central heating!
wildfly
…and yet there's still this myth that somewhere in Europe there are RTS Rumbles.
Mister Gone
No Hasbro, it's spelled US not UK. They got the address wrong on the big box of Skyquakes.
Seriously though, I'm glad they got shipped to a country with a large and dedicated fanbase that will make sure they all sell and don't shelf warm….. Wait, the US has that too? Oh well, here's some spikes, they're just as good right?
You lucky so and so's. You already have the women with the sexiest accents, the best comedy shows and some of the best actors, I spose though, England gets boned in so many other lines, can't begrudge you a win.
BigPhill
Yes. I saw the unopened box I got mine from. All US Single language boxes.
Rotorstorm
Wow, so that means we actually got the whole line for the first time ever! (RTS doesn't count as there was the unreleased scout wave.
