Its time again to bring you the latest batch of UK toy sales charts, courtesy of the N.P.D. As usual, all Transformers related records appear in bold and in capitals.
April saw Transformers sales continue to slow, but overall both the Movie Legends and Movie Deluxe figures managed a good showing despite the lack of new releases in that period. Sales were helped by the fact that Transformers ranked 24th in the advertising expenditure list for the month, the 10th highest Hasbro property.
Ben 10 continued its dominance of the chart and will prove to be the big test for the Transformers Animated figures, which are of course out in stores now.

are reporting that the British actor Matthew Marsden has been cast in Transformers 2.
"Marsden has been cast in the role of “Graham,” a character who is
part of the British Special Forces. Although the film’s plot is being
kept under the tightest veils of secrecy, it is known that the flick
will depict an even more worldly battle than the first “Transformers”
film, and will shoot all over the globe. In the sequel, Graham teams
with Duhamel and Tyrese’s military characters, joining their efforts as
they do battle with the evil Decepticons.
The casting of Graham, and the presence of the British Special
Forces, would seem to indicate that Bay might do some filming in the
U.K. Cameras are scheduled to begin rolling on the fast-forming flick
in a matter of weeks."
Matthew Marsden is best know for appearing in the UK soap Coronation Street but he recently appeared in the new Rambo film as well as Resident Evil: Extinction and Black
Hawk Down

Just a quick reminder to our UK visitors that Transformers Animated episode 24 S.U.V - Society Of Ultimate Villainy, will be broadcast this afternoon on Nick Toons. From tomorrow the UK will pass Canada, and will broadcast the first English language showings of the last 5 episodes of Transformers Animated from Wednesday through Saturday.
British tabloid newspaper The Sun have an article regarding 30 year Australian IT consultant Brad Jayakody who was recently stopped from boarding an aircraft at Terminal 5 at London's Heathrow Airport for wearing a Transformers Movie Optimus Prime t-shirt because a gun was shown. He was told he would be arrested if he changed back into the t-shirt. The Sun asked a Heathrow spokesman regarding the incident and was told "If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it for example, a passenger may be
asked to remove it. .... We are investigating what happened to see if it came under
this category."

With only 62 days to go until Auto Assembly 2008, we thought it would be worth starting the first of our pre-convention weekly updates bringing you some of the latest major happenings in the final run up to Europe's biggest Transformers event in 2008...!
Quite a few things have happened in the last 7 days and we've been fairly busy so we'll try to cram as much in here as we can...
* Guests *
Our guest line-up for AA2008 is probably one of our biggest and best ever and we currently have TEN confirmed guests so far! Our guest of honour is Dan Gilvezan - the voice of Bumblebee from G1. Supporting Dan is a plethora of comic guests including legendary writer Simon Furman, artists Andrew Wildman, Simon Williams, Geoff Senior, Staz Johnson, Lew Stringer, and colourists Jason Cardy, Liam Shalloo and Kat Nicholson.
That's not all though, we are STILL talking to more possible guests although it's partly down to YOU whether we get more! Remember, the more people who pre-book, the greater our budget is for the convention!
* Competitions *
We've got a load of competitions taking place at the convention and in the run up to the day itself - art, fiction, model and kitbash competitions, a kids colouring competition and a quiz on the day itself. We've now got full details of all of these and information on how to enter up on the website as well as a downloadable entry form! There will be plenty of toys up for grabs so why not give it a shot!
* Charity Auction *
We started to give you all some details on this year's charity auction earlier in the week but it's already looking great. As well as a load of signed items from a lot of Transformers voice actors, we've now confirmed at least three pieces of BRAND NEW artwork from some top Transformers comic artists that have been specially commissioned for Auto Assembly 2008! Obviously, we're open to anything that anyone wants to donate to this or our charity raffle so please get in touch!
* Goodie Bag *
The infamous goodie bag is shaping up reasonably well at the moment. We've got four items confirmed right now with more in negotiations. Every attendee will get two more Auto Assembly exclusive postcards, one featuring Bumblebee illustrated by Simon Williams. The other will be drawn by another top TF artist but we're not saying who yet! Also, all attendees will receive a pack of Cards Inc G1 stickers and we have plenty of other gifts but these are going to be limited so if you want some of the other items, you'll need to register quickly. For example, we have assorted copies of the ladybird G1 storybooks, but these were limited for the first 80 or so attendees so they've all been allocated already. We do have a lot more items to sort so keep an eye on the website.
As you can see, it pays to pre-book early!
* Booking Confirmations *
We know that many of you have been asking - both directly and through various forums - about booking confirmations and when you're going to be receiving them. Well, now that we've been able to secure our guest of honour, we're now working on getting them sorted!
We're working like crazy on getting the information pack finalised, talking to hotels to chase up discounts on accommodation so we can sent out the most accurate information packs possible and these should start going out in the next 7 days to the first batch of attendees who have booked.
Obviously, as soon as we have hotel discounts sorted, details of these will also go straight on the website and we're hoping to have the first of these done by the middle of the week at the latest.
* Pre-Registrations *
One thing we can't stress enough for those of you who haven't already done it is the benefits of pre-registering for Auto Assembly 2008. Not only does it get things out of the way and means that it's one less worry for you on the day, but all pre-registrants get earlier entry than those paying on the door so you can get at all those bargains sooner!
Not only that but pre-registering helps US as convention organisers. At Auto Assembly, we have a break-even point financially. Not only do we have to pay to hire the venue and cover our guest costs, but printing, postage and numerous other expenses. However, once we have covered all of those, anything left over can be reinvested to make AA2008 a better convention either going towards bonus guests or extra gifts in the goodie bag.
For example, we are producing two exclusive postcards this year but once we have covered all of our costs, all it needs is an extra 15 adult attendees to give us the extra funds to produce a THIRD card for everyone but we can't do that if people leave booking until the last minute or pay on the door and it's the same when it comes to finding extra funds towards bonus UK comic guests!
Put simply, if you want a bigger and better Auto Assembly 2008, it's in YOUR hands...!
* Volunteering *
Finally, as always, we're looking for volunteers to help out with the convention on the day and in the run up to the event and in helping us to promote it. For more information, see the volunteering page on the website and download a form!
Well, that's it for now, but we should have a few more announcements over the next few days so keep an eye out on all the major TF websites and forums and look out for our next update next weekend and we hope to see a lot of you all on 2nd August!
As always, for all the latest information on Auto Assembly 2008, to book online or to download booking forms or for more information on anything in this weekly update, visit the website at www.autoassembly.org.uk
