Hasbro Nordic informs us today that Scandinavia will see Transformers Animated and Transformers Universe (aka Classics 2.0) toys on shelves around August 1, 2008.

No information on actual assortment contents, nor if we will get the TV show or not.

In a thread over on TFW2005, LocustReign posted a report a stock list which he says was sent across from his toy shop's wholesaler. The lists showed the Transformers Animated figures has having a release date within the UK of April 4th, with the Transformers Classics 2.0 figures due on May 9th. Previously Hasbro UK told us that they had no plans to release the Transformers Classics 2.0 figures within the UK. With the UK Toyfair being held next Friday, confirmation of dates and items will probably be available after the initial press day.

Here's the post

"Just had an email from my toy shop's wholesalers saying that Animated Deluxe, Voyagers and the 2-pack are to be released (in the UK at least) on 4th April 2008. The price list also mentions leader class Bulkhead and Megatron - not sure if we've heard of these before???

Universe (aka Classics 2.0) deluxes are listed as having a release date of 9th May (just after my birthday, YAY!). Ultras and Voyagers are down as release date TBC."
