Good news for my fellow UK chums – the third assortment of the Combiner Wars Deluxes, the Protectobots, have begun appearing at UK retail. First Aid, Streetwise, Rook, and Blades were found by TFW members awesomeist guy and Destronus at a Toyland store in the Brunswick Shopping Centre in Scarborough.
It does unfortunately look like the second wave – containing the rest of the Stunticons and Air Raid – have been passed over for a UK release, though reports go they may yet appear as Toys R Us exclusives.

I got a good deal on deluxe wave 2 combiners.
TRANSFORMERS 2015 COMBINER WARS SERIES 2 ALL 4 DELUXE LOOSE FIGURES No Packages | eBay
£63 total for the four of them with comics and shipping from America. I was going to throw the packaging away anyway.
I know. I don't like it either. £15 is the most I would pay for the toy itself, but £2 shipping from America for something that won't get released here for months, if at all… I'd rather pay a little more than to miss out entirely. I don't know if its because you're in Ireland, but I've not been paying additional customs costs. Or I've been lucky so far. The price I see on amazon is the price I pay. Its not always a good deal but sometimes it is.
Nevermore
Germany as well.

I normally would – I ordered Quickslinger and Break-Neck, and I've got a Leader Megatron coming who worked out at £45 – but Amazon's new fondness for charging $19 for an ordinary deluxe can, basically, jump right up its own ass. I'm **just barely** willing to pay £16 off a shop shelf here, and I ate £17 for QS and BN because they're exclusive – but post and customs turns that $19 into £19, and NO.

Good job hasbro

No TRU in Italy, there were but now we have a lousy monopoly of Toys Centers which overprice and get toys months laters if at all… We felt so very lucky when Wave 1 got released countrywise in normal stores (ie: Deluxe CW at Toys Center 30 €, retail store 22 €, mall 17 €).

I don't think W2 was released by Hasbro EU at all.
Leaders, only UK sighting was TRU. If TRU in your
country don't have them by now, probably not coming

Ah, well now I feel silly. Thanks for clarifying, though!

Great. Now if the stores in my area can clear out the Wave 1 voyagers, I might help myself to the Stunticons.

I found wave 2 at my walmart in florida on the panhandle

Awwww, come on!
Here in Italy we're still waiting for wave 1 leaders and the whole wave 2… As usual we're below Afghanistan with Hasbro releases…

Forbidden Planet is the answer!
Hi all, I pre-ordered mine from Forbiddenplanet.com a while ago, and have them in hand now, the pre-order still says June, but I think they are gradually getting more shipments. I wanna put this out there because it seems nobody on here has noticed. TRU is not the only hope, the UK ones suck anyway. Forbidden Planet is the answer! Got all mine in hand now from them! And I have Megatron and Blackjack on pre-order, they haven't come in yet.

Um… Andy and I had a row a while back and he told me never to darken his doorstep again. I think I'll try placing a deposit with TFS-Express.

Man I've got 4 protectobots. Need Hotspot.
Autovolt 127
Yeah same with me.
also Scarborough….Brunswick. Canada sure took a lot of names from the UK?

Kapow Toys are my fave UK retailer for the UW imports. They're very reliable and friendly, check them out! They've got UW Defensor up on preorder now.

Both the items you mention are out of stock at Amazon.com and only available through Amazon sellers at the moment. There's a difference.
Amazon have had them, and may have them again, at regular retail price

Some of them are more expensive, take a look at the prices for Motormaster, Air Raid & Deadend…all more expensive than the others

It's nice to know the Protectobots will finally get a retail release here, but I want to see what's happening with Takara's Defensor before I buy anything.

Online where most people got'em….

I tend not to count comic stores most are smart and import US stock. if it was multi lingual then it could be EU stock but 1 store is not really going to get the rust of us hunting around.
