I think it's a similar story in the UK, NZ and Aussie, you'll get the first few waves of a given toyline, but beyond that just pick them up online as you'll probably never see them.

Farmers does occasionally get some decent Transformers exclusives though!

Ah, there's a few of us around no doubt.

You've pretty much got it right though. Distribution is the true bugbear of the modern collector. I've been cherry-picking MU since it left so It's not like I've truly been missing out. Part of the fun for me was the hunt though, so I do miss that. Yet on the other hand, as you suggest, we recently got the transformers "cyber-tattoo" exclusives well before they even appeared stateside!

Anyway, I fear this may be getting a bit off topic?
