Dear *******
Thank you for contacting us regarding our Transformers product line.
I am happy to confirm that we will be offering the Fall of Cybertron line this coming summer and that it will be exclusive to the Argos chain.
In the interim, please check your local retailers for the newest products from the Transformers Prime line, including the recently released Revealers: Ratchet and Knock-Out.
Kind regards,
Tracey

So it looks like the FOC toy line will come to the UK, the first wave at least, but do take this with a grain of salt.

im not sure how happy i am about argos. the nature of the store means you cant just pop in to check their figures, its near impossible to accurately report sightings and they are monumentally bad for regular restocks. thank god for Kapow. id rather pay an extra few quid on postage to get the full wave immediately without the fuss

FP is a well known import store....
The only stuff to hit the UK was wave 1 and possibly 2, but I never saw it personally.

I'd say it would take more time to do it that way. The folks working through the deliveries at the stores and the distribution centres would still have to go through each case one figure at a time, not to mention the extra time and effort required to create seperate catalogue numbers for each character some of which you'd potentially never see. It just wouldn't be worth it logistically.
Argos is no different from any other toy retailer. It's hit-n-miss no matter where you go, the only difference is you have to talk to someone first at Argos before you leave disappointed. At least if Generations is exclusive to Argos chances are they'll get more variety: you know, as much as variety in the UK goes.

I want to see more of the FOC line before i put money aside for them, but it's great news for those interested It's just not going to be fun trying to track down all the componants of bruticus :/ especially at Argos, yes it's managable, you just have to ask if you can check which they have in, but it's still a pain, i much prefer seeing my choices on a shelf.

Probably not. We were never that good in keeping more than one line.
