Thanks to Snakas for pointing out that the Nippon Broadcasting System's Event Shop at LFP Goods have a listing for some Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Memorial Stamps.

You can see the collectable stampset which celebrates 25 years of Transformers.

The set costs 3150 yen and comes with a specially-made holder with a unique serial number. There appears to be only 3000 of these sets being produces\d, with a maximum order of 3 per person.  The set is due to release in January 2010 and is on-sale until midnight of the 27th of December.

To promote the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on both Blu-Ray and Video, Paramount Pictures and Shine Communications asked Facebook and Twitter users what Symbol of London would they like turned into a Transformer.  The answer was one of London's "bendy buses" and so on the 28th November 2009 the Transformer, made from actual bus parts, was displayed in front of both Tower Bridge and the London Eye.  The result can be seen in photos below courtesy of Marco Secchi and Getty Images.

RTE News reports that Hasbro Ireland are planning to cut 22 jobs from their workforce of just under 250 employees as part of a plan to improve competitiveness and reduce costs.

Pat Gilhooly, head of global manufacturing at Hasbro Ireland, said: 'We regret having to seek these job losses given the current economic climate in Ireland but it is absolutely necessary that we reduce our costs now in order to protect as many as possible of the remaining jobs at the Waterford plant.  The continued weakness of the US dollar has also had a negative impact on our competitiveness.

The redundancies we are now seeking are designed to align the core workforce with the anticipated level of market demand during the off-peak period and avoid short-time working as happened in the early part of this year.  The competitiveness measures we are seeking are necessary due to the imbalance between costs in Ireland and in the countries in which our products are sold."

The firm is hoping to implement the redundancies on a voluntary basis. A competitive redundancy package will be on offer for employees who fit the selection criteria.
