Thanks to our very own TFW2005 member Nevermore, we can report that Transformers: The Last Knight Autobots Unite 1-Step Turbo Changer 2-pack Is Out in Germany.
This pack contains 1-step versions of TLK Bumblebee and Hot Rod and it’s part of the “Autobots Unite” sub-line. It was spotted at Intertoys in Moers for not so economic 29.99 Euros.
As Nevermore let us remember, this 1-Step 2-pack has been available as an Asda exclusive in the UK, as a Prisma exclusive in Finland, as a Tottus exclusive in Peru, as a Walmart exclusive in Mexico and as an ICA Hemma exclusive in Sweden. In the US, it’s officially a Walmart exclusive, but was never found in stores and only available from the Walmart website around the same time it was instead found at discounter Ross.
Happy hunting for all German fans. You can check out the mirrored image after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards.

Also found at the Intertoys stores in downtown Herne and in Herne-Wanne (aka "Wanne-Eickel"):

Yeah. Intertoys has a tendency to be on the expensive side.
They also have a tendency to eventually lower their prices and call it a "sale", banking on impatient early customers.

Nice catch…. is it 29 Euros????

Found at Intertoys in Moers:
The usual caveat: Intertoys is a Dutch chain that operates stores primarily in the federal state of North-Rhine Westphalia, i.e. near the Dutch border (plus a single store in Frankfurt am Main), so this is probably more of a Netherlands release that also happens to be available in Germany rather than a "proper" German release. Oh, Europe.
Thus far, the 1-Step 2-pack has been available as an Asda exclusive in the UK, as a Prisma exclusive in Finland, as a Tottus exclusive in Peru, as a Walmart exclusive in Mexico and as an ICA Hemma exclusive in Sweden. In the US, it's officially a Walmart exclusive, but was never found in stores and only available from the Walmart website around the same time it was instead found at discounter Ross.
Along with the Autobots Unite Legion 2-packs (which I haven't seen in person yet), the 1-Step 2-pack has been listed at Intertoys' Dutch website and also at Bart Smit (owned by the same parent company, Blokker Holding), so I assumed they'd eventually pop up at German Intertoys stores.
