Thanks to NinjaCyborg for posting a round-up from the British Toyfair on our message board.
Transformers selection was clearly visible through the booth window so I
don't see why I shouldn't report what I could see. Not like I signed an
NDA or anything.
A lot of the display was current releases - ROTF scouts, HA Bumblebee, Leader Prime.
On display, but not on general release yet, was:
Leader Starscream, ROTF Bludgeon
and more importantly from the new stuff was:
WFC Optimus - looked bigger than deluxe, more like Voyager size
WFC Bumblebee - awesome vehicle mode, and even more awesome, metallic gold paint/plastic
Universe
Seaspray - ultra sized I think, since it was bigger than ROTF Bludgeon
that it was next to. Looks just like a huge version of the original
Same blue and white and yellow for the turbines. Very nice.
Some new
G1 style legends - I think I saw a jeep, Outback maybe? or Swindle?, It
was khaki coloured but the view from the booth window was too far to
see the smaller toys
Some kind of combiner - could have been power
combiners, but looked to me more like it was built from Legends sized
figures - and it was definitely not Devastator. One of the legs looked
like a jet or shuttle of some kind. Could be a Legends Bruticus set?
Was very lanky and with wiry limbs, but humanoid in shape.
'Leader' ROTF Bumblebee or whatever it's going to be called
Also visible through the Hasbro window was some Marvel Universe stuff, but nothing new and no Iron Man 2 that I could see.
Also saw the A-Team figures on another booth. Not bad likenesses of the new actors. Still hate Neeson as Hannibal though.
Funny that Mattel or Mattel distributors are totally absent from this fair. No wonder you can't find Avatar toys anywhere.

Big Bad Toy Store have updated their website with some new Takara Tomy
pre-orders. The Device Label Broadcast is re-listed. Now it appears that for some reason the US sites still think this figure was cancelled. As we correctly have reported all along the toy was never cancelled. What happened was the figure was delayed three or four time, and after the last delay stores stopped taking pre-orders as they were told that the figure would not be out until the summer of 2010, when it was originally due in August / September 2009.
Also listed is a new Device Label Cheetor , a third recolour of the Ravage mold, Alternity Starscream , Alternity Skywarp (based on a Okamora Orochi and finally a Disney Label Buzz Lightyear.
