Care of TFW2005 member Shockscream, we have word that all of Transformers The Last Knight’s second wave is now at UK retail. We’ve had Drift and Sqweeks individually since the line launched in catalog store Argos, and specialist comic store Forbidden Planet has recently been carrying the whole second wave, but we can now confirm that Toymaster stores, such as Toymaster Burton, are carrying the full assortment. This wave includes the aforementioned Drift and Sqweeks, along with Steelbane and Slug.
We’re also informed that said Toymaster is carrying The Last Knight’s leader class figures, Optimus Prime and Megatron, although these had been sighted previously.

Steelbane looks like a beast version of Vector Prime. That makes me want him bad.

There's two chains as I understand it. One stocks imports, the other, domestic releases. The style of packaging would be evidence.
That said, they're a specialist retailer, so not entirely the same as a full-on wider retail sighting.

… it used to be in the past, but looking at the photos posted by Neuta, that's definitely packaging intended for the European market, so I stand corrected!
Basically, checking the packaging for the usual signs (European packaging usually has a simple "8+" or "5+" age recommendation label and an EAN barcode starting with "501099", whereas non-European packaging these days has an "Age Edad Idate 8+" or "Age Edad Idate 5+" age recommendation label and a UPC barcode starting with "630509") should tell you whether what you're seeing is imported stock or European stock.

Not to start a thing…but is that definitely correct?

Wave 2 deluxes were also spotted in Canada, Quebec. Saw them at Wal-Mart last week.

Only from Argos. But then they only had Bumblebee and Grimlock from wave 1.

What about wave 2 voyagers?

Forbidden Planet only sells imports, so those would not count as "proper" UK retail releases.

Here's Steelbane and Drift at the Forbidden Planet in Central London yesterday (United Kingdom Transformers Sightings) if that's any help!

Didn't buy any, though, I was after Titan Master Sawback!

Hasn't Drift and Sqweeks been available over there for some time?

No photo on this occasion, but the source is a friend. Good for those who're wanting a Steelbane or one of the others in the set.
