Due to the current economic climate in the UK we have to pay 20% import vat and 20% sales tax so you can imagine how a case including 2 optimus 1 shockers and 1 skyhammer has a wafer thin profit margin in the first place, throw into the mix supermarket and big box store deals and we're pretty much buggered.

We'll probably pick it when and if the later waves stop surfacing here because as cheesy as it sounds we did get into this whole thing to make sure the UK can get stuff at what are hopefully reasonable prices.

One thing on the Hasbro profit announcement which will be of interest is that you've got to take into account the fact the 2nd quarter includes all the pre-sales of DOTM to retailers worldwide, its the biggest hit they get on a new product, the telling time will be the 3rd and 4th quarter after the initial hype has died down.


You mean all the retailers buying from hasbro?? Didnt think of that. Kinda backs up what my local smyths says in that they really aint shifting.

All i can say is keep up the great work at Kapow!!

Never been to Kapow Toys. I can say that my local Walmart has far too many Autobots and not nearly enough Decepticons. And please STOP the multiple versions of Bumble Bee???? I've had to go to the web to get the Transformers I want.
If you listen to the metal genre of music, you want to hear "DARK BLU"
