But for me, the beauty of Mirage is in the art of its figure.

I fully intend to get Overkill and Drag Strip. I can't wait.

by releasing a far superior version of the repaint of the thing i just imported from the U S of A
so i think that qualifies as screwing me on a personal level

And Overkill is very, very close to the Botcon Customs Class version, but more white!!!
Posted by Tigertrack on September 23rd, 2008 @ 8:04am CDT
Megatron
Optimus Prime
Overkill
The price is $15.99 each and they are scheduled to ship in December. Using the fill your cart to max option, there were 750 Overkills to be pre-ordered at this time.
Go get 'em! And thanks to Chindogg!

HasbroToyShop.com is listing some new Transformers Deluxe Class figures (Megatron, Optimus Prime and Overkill). Will these figures become available through your UK site, or will UK collectors have to get American friends to help them out? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your recent e-mail to Hasbro UK Ltd.
Unfortunately, these particular items are not available in the UK, and we are currently unaware of plans to release them here.
May we apologise for not being able to help you on this occasion. May we thank you for contacting Hasbro and if we can be of any further assistance, either now or in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards,
ASK HASBRO
Hasbro UK Ltd
Well, Yankee brethren (and Aussies too, I understand), looks like you're going to be very popular with the Brits.

Whirly things of death can be very beneficial in daily life - You can use it to cut the grass; stir cake batter; and blow away dead leaves.

I'm really like that Overkill, and I fear aftermarket markup will be worse than paying for excess shipping through HTS.
Posted by Maldroth on September 23rd, 2008 @ 5:40pm CDT
Here's to hoping we can see the rest of the car Stunticons as repaints, there are suitable molds now out for Universe, and a new Motormaster, I just can't see a Prime repaint taking his place very well.

Others posters seem to believe that they will be available in OZ but not the UK. Hard to say. I am sure that Hasbro won't carry it in retail stores being a US HTS exclusive. Hasbro CANADA does not have an online store like the US so I would dare to say they will not be heading north anytime soon.

You pay for the box and the oportunity to shove it int everyone exept the us's face

It's limited. At this time they have no more than 800 pieces of each. Not sure if they are holding any back or not.

Ahh yes. It's limited. Now I see why the price is where it's set. Thanks Tigertracks 24!

800 pieces of each is not that many at all...

$16 is a fine bargain compared to what the markup will be for these later.

Not saying it's not true, but that's a little hard to believe.
But no worries, I just pre-ordered my 2!!

Yes, limited, plus the thousand or so they released in Asia.
