Hasbro is set to be present at this year’s Independent Toy And Gift Show (UK) with their product lines for 2017.
This is the first official appearance of the company in UK, following their decision to decline participation at UK Toy Fair for the year.
On previous years (pictured), Hasbro brought with them their upcoming toys for the UK Market including Transformers, My Little Pony and Nerf. We expect them to do the same at this year’s show as well.
Hasbro is rumored to feature the biggest stall on the show floor.
Licensed Merchandise manufacturers of various Hasbro products will also be present at the event.
The Independent Toy and Gift Show will take place on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th April 2017 at Cranmore Park Exhibition Venue in the heart of the Midlands.

Oh I see, I would think however that other news sites might have gotten there too but it seems like nothing is being shown yet

Sadly, it seems press coverage has not happened. If I was in UK, I'd have definitely gone to check it out. Pretty sure TLK Wave 1 and 2 had been there.

Why isn't there anything as of yet despite this fair being over already

Has any new stuff been shown at this?
Seth Sunthay
Yes

Any news so far
Blitz.
I fully expect it to be a giant inflatable middle finger. But really if some one could quiz Hasbro on us getting anything collector aimed at a decent price that would be cool. It's insane that they flooded us with AcidStorm and SunStorm yet StarScream? nope.
Seth Sunthay
There are chances to see the MPM's?.
SilverOptimus
Oh, I just got a very good news for you. Be right back.

Yeah hopefully we'll be getting more than we did for AOE. Though with online stores probably importing figures quicker than they're officially distributed it becomes a bit of a viscous circle where they don't sell as well in stores which means less is ordered in. Guess we'll have to see what the prices are like in different places.
SilverOptimus
Not much of a huge coverage, but you'll see videos on You Tube by those who attended.
They usually showcase product line for UK, so it's important for the folks over there (including you, I believe) to learn what Transformers toys will hit the stores this year (at least the first couple of waves).

Fingers crossed we might get a sneak peek at something new, but I suspect it'll be more of the same.
