Unfortunately, even though Transformers is currently the top selling boy's toy line in the UK, it does not mean the line is not subject to weird delays and cancellations. We have received word from Red Leader of site sponsor Kapow Toys that the fourth wave of Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe toys (including the Ice Cream Truck Twins Skids & Mudflap, Dead End, Jolt and Blaze Master) and the Wave 5 Voyagers (Long Haul and Grindor) have been respectively delayed for a release in the UK, and in the case of the Voyager wave, outright canceled. The reason given for the delay in the release of the wave 4 Deluxes is that there is an increased demand for the assortment in the US, which has taken up the stock originally allocated for the UK market (although there is a chance they might still become available later - they are only delayed, not canceled for a UK release, yet). No reason is given for the apparent cancellation of the fifth wave of Voyagers.

However the news is not all bleak for UK fans - the fifth wave of Deluxes, including Arcee, Stalker Scorponok and Swerve, has begun to creep into stores. This ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy release report is brought to you by TFW2005 member tikgnat.
