While I'm open to correction (and I did consult some top-level pedants), it looks like us UK-based people have finally got an interesting exclusive toy. Back in the day we got all sorts of crazy stuff, like reissues of the Autobot cars a decade ahead of anyone else and a bunch of new moulds such as the Turbomasters and Predators; the downside was that from Beast Wars onwards the general British public seemed to lose interest massively and not really perk up until the 2007 film came out. This meant that for most of the interim lines we largely only got early waves (well, later figures were released, but as shelves were still choked with the earlier ones, they often became hard to find).However, the tide has turned with what seems to be the UK-only release of the 'Ravage Infiltration' boxed-set (exclusive to Sainsbury's supermarket, and still avaliable reduced in most branches). Okay, so it's no great shakes, being just a group of recolours, and the main reason it's UK-exclusive is almost certainly that no US retailers were interested. And Flak and Rollbar are diabolical figures I'm not even going to grant a review. But there're some neat little soldier figures, a biox with a Diego Garcia diorama insert and a recolour of that Legends Ravage figure I kept meaning to get. Go UK!
