Aye. I nearly posted this yesterday, but just had the barest info to go off.
http://www.toynewsmag.com/news/29047/Dr ... n-revealed
Which makes reference to the individual lists, but gives bugger all in the way of detail... good to know we've got access to the actual press release now. Didn't think "somebody's given the info out" really warranted a story...
Grrr. Argh.

Order hath been restored.
Now you can buy that Optimus to one of your young family-members and instead of being teased, he'll be the coolest kid in school. ^^
I also see that My Little Pony is back in full power among the girls. The 80's doth live in all of us.

I'm curious. Do those voice changers and Ultimate BBs sell well in the UK? They just collect dust and space over here.

If we had Ult BB in stores he'd probably sell well. No such luck forthe voice changers. Leader OP is most definitely sold out in Singapore.
That BB MP3 speaker though looks interesting.
EDIT: I take it back - local shops have been restocking in a frenzy, and now you can find OP everywhere. Got Arcee instead though.
