The manager contacted head office who confirmed they had 'cancelled any expected deliveries' as of yesterday of the U.K. exclusive.
This was due to 'the line being discontinued' but he did confirm 'it would still be made available to the U.S. market' !
So once again Hasbro U.K. continue to withhold the love...

Masterpiece?
That was their words exactly, but I believe it only refers to the U.K. release of the Masterpiece Thundercracker.
There was debate as to whether this was going to use the older mold used with the first few releases of the Masterpiece Seekers or the newer remolded version.
Despite the alleged U.S. release, I wonder if they knocked it on the head with the U.K. release with a eye to releasing something a little better!
Bring on the Masterpiece Optimus Prime 2.0!!

Last month Seibertron.com member robotmel had reported that he had managed to pre-order the figure through one of his local Toys"R"Us stores. After checking the status of said pre-order he discovered the figure has been canceled for the UK, although it does appear it's still scheduled for the US.
Thank you for the front page! Appreciated.

So I popped into my local branch of Toys 'R' Us to enquire about the availablility of Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker (again)!
The shift Manager remembered me from way back when I started this thread which I was surprised about!
He had a dig about and confirmed... absolutely nothing!
Nothing on Thundercracker. Nothing on Optimus Prime v2.0. Nowt!
In other news, I have just won myself a loose Transformers Masterpiece Thundercracker (v2.0) from a friendly US based Ebay seller for £44 shipped!
