But the main thnig is he"s out now and you can pick him up three days early.

Gasket and Guardshell out

It would appear that Galaxy Force toys Guardshell and Gasket have now been released in Japan. The Japanese Image Board, http://transformers.hp.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/imgboard.cgi, has a picture of both the toys. Since that site does not like referral links, you will need to copy and paste the address into a new broswer window. Check the Japanese Image board later in the evening and tomorrow morning for what will no doubt be more images of these toys. Parents beware, the Japanese image board can sometimes contain images of a pornographic nature and may not be suitable for children.

Wal-Mart To No Longer Carry TF:Universe?

Transfandom.com are reporting that ....
once the after-Christmas toy aisle reset was complete at your local Wal-Mart, that all of the Transformers Universe has mysteriously disappeared? This seems to be a trend arising, at least from some initial reports, including my local Wal-Mart. There has been no official word if Wal-Mart has actually stopped stocking Universe but its something to keep an eye out for.

We"ll be keeping an eye open for more news on this story as it emerges.

Index 2005 Catelogue - No TFs

Thanks to I-Primus for posting this on our message board here.
...The new Spring/Summer issue is now out & count out Index for the next six months if you"re after Transformers "cause they ain"t go "em.

In what seems a very limited toy section Transformers don"t get a look in. Whilst you will find the old TFs on clearance via the web-site all you"ll get via the Catalogue are PRs, TMNT & bits of Batman/Spiderman.

It has been a mixed day for UK fans, with postive news from Argos and negative news from Index
