Thanks to Break for letting us know that Toys R Us UK are now selling the first wave of the Transformers Universe Deluxe figures (Sunstreaker, Prowl and Tankor) as well as Wave 3 of the Transformers Animated Voyager figures (Grimlock, Lugnut and Blitzwing).

TFW2005.com members Boardwise and Sinestro have spotted some multi-lingual packaged Transformers Animated toys in Forbidden Planet in the UK. The figures, Lugnut, Grimlock and Blitzwing, are from Wave 3 of Transformers Animated.

Some Wave 2 figures, Blackarachnia and Ratchet have previously been spotted in some stores, and as Forbidden Planet is an import store, who occasionally stock UK products, these could turn out to be imports (possibly from Canada?) or pre-released European toys. Toys R US are known for releasing toys before their official release date (something confirmed to us by Hasbro), so it could be that Forbidden Planet did indeed purchase these figures from Hasbro UK.

For the moment we suggest that this story is treated as an import sighting, though we plan to try and speak to Hasbro next week to see what we can find out.

Cybertron.ca reports that Transformers Animated Wave 3 toys, Snarl, Oil Slick, Soundwave and Jaxx, have all been spotted in stores. Grimlock and Lugnut have also been spotted in stores.

You can see the posts here.

TF08.net have posted detailed galleries of both Transformers Animated Grimlock and Lugnut, final released boxed versions, in and out of packaging. The detailing on the toys is fantastic and the quality of the galleries are high too.
