And now, as with everywhere outside the US, the 25th line is deemed inappropriate or something, since it's collector-oriented and only the US has enough toy collectors to warrant releasing anything that isn't meant for kids to actually play with.

It's a good job the line is flimsy crap incompatible with the 25 years they claim to be celebrating, otherwise I might care.


"Here here.. Sacrilege" shouts I...your not suggesting hasbro are ignoring us in the UK are you?
In all fairness i'd stand in line and defend hasbro.. but i can't.. from what we were promised in January.. they just simply haven't delivered.

And Stormer your right.. considering these figures are supposed to celebrate 25 years they've certainly made a complete goof up on it.
