[QUOTE="David Tree, post: 46776, member: 198"] It's swings and roundabouts for release dates, sometimes the Uk are ahead of the US, sometimes behind. However any of the last known waves never hit the UK. It has always been the case since Episode 1. This is no fault of Hasbro, but more the buyer at the toy retailer end not being able to distinguish that they are the same product and going for 'the new line'. Without Argos, Woolworths or Toys R Us putting in any orders, it becomes very unlikely that they hit highstreet retail. This leaves UK independants (Forbidden Planet included) to buy from UK distributors like Paugus and Toy Revolution, so it is always worth supporting local toy shops and dealers as they have to pay higher prices and go further than retail giants. If people don't support, they won't bother ordering as the 50p made on each figure sold (and I ain't kidding) isn't enough to support a business or a home. Dave. [/QUOTE]
