Seibertron have a report that Woolworths have updated their website with a new Transformers product listing, that of Transformers Classics 2-pack Skywarp vs Ultra Magnus!
Woolworths
has the set listed on their website for £29.99. However, the listing
does not show the correct figures. View the listing for yourself by
clicking here.
There's no news on when the figures will be released though, as it's assumed this is simply a pre-sale advertising at the moment.

Hasbro has reported the highest net earnings in its history for its full year 2006 buoyed by the growth of its core brands.
That's the focus of the story on
ToyNews today, which reports that the US toy giant made a record $230.1 Million Dollars.
"The company recorded net earnings of $230.1 million, making 2006
Hasbro's sixth consecutive year of earnings growth. Net revenues also
rose, up 2.1 per cent - or $63.9 million - to $3.2 billion.
Strong
performances from Transformers - which will receive a further boost
with the release of the movie in May - Monopoly, Playskool and Littlest
Pet Shop helped drive up the earnings. And, despite there being no new
film, Star Wars continued to perform well, contributing a massive
$284.9 million in revenue for the year.
"2006 was another good
year for Hasbro, we achieved the highest net earnings in the history of
the company," said Alfred J Verrecchia, president and CEO. "Our
performance for both the quarter and the year is a solid indication of
the success we have had in growing our core brands.
"Given the
exceptional performance of Star Wars in 2005, it is particularly
meaningful to have grown revenue 2.1 per cent for the year and 4.1 per
cent for the quarter.
"As we look ahead, we have momentum in our
core brands and commitment to continued innovation," Verrecchia
continued. "With the richest and most diversified toy and game product
line in the industry, including product tied to upcoming releases of
the Transformers and Spiderman 3 movies, we're very excited about the
opportunities for 2007."
International segment revenues for the
year were $959.3 million compared to $988.6 million a year ago.
Operating profit was $90.9 million for the year compared to $106.4m in
2005, as adjusted to include the impact of stock-based compensation
expense."

Transformers Time-Line to their website. Well now Seibertron.com have

As the updates are on Hasbro.com, we the links above do not suffer from the "regional barring" that the Transformers.com website often does (redirecting you to the UK site).
