Hasbro UK are just testing the water to see if it's worth bringing Universe over here I think (though considering they're in Energon packaging, shouldn't they have renamed them minicon combiners?). They've sold very fast at work despite being only half the price of a minicon set with a third of the figures...

there's nothing to explain
series 1 = protectomicromasters (already out in Benelux)
series 2 = constructomicromasters (already out in Benelux)
and the TFU Tiny Tin minicons where Armada Tiny Tin minicons in Benelux
this because Europe will never get a full TFU line

I found all 6 in Tesco tonight, at £2.97 each, so I bought the set.
Thanks to Mininin for the sig.

Well, I brought mine from the 'co too... but somehow picked up Prowl twice instead of First Aid. I'm an idiot...

My local TRU has them all except for Hot Spot so I did'nt bother. Knowing my luck. I'd buy the 5 and then never see the one I need.
TRU also had Energon Bulkhead, Unicron, Prime and Landmine on the shelves. Also had Armada Leserbeak still there and loads of G1 Powermaster Primes.
DID get one suprise though when I went in there. They had Galaxy Force figures (Convoy and Megatron £49.99 each and Thundercracker and Starscream £24.99 each) Picked up a Starscream

This makes the fourth (!) "Prowl" toy in the Universe line. So far, we have:
- Armada Emergency Team Mini-Con Prowl repaint (came with Universe Stockade & Magna Stampede)
- KB Toys exclusive Micromaster Series I repaint of Operation Combination Road Police
- Wal*Mart exclusive RiD Prowl repaint
- Wal*Mart exclusive RiD Spychanger Prowl 2 repaint that looks like G1 Red Alert (came with Universe Spychanger Optimus Prime)
A fifth "Universe" Prowl toy would be the repackaged "G1" Spychanger Prowl (yet another RiD Prowl 2 repaint) that was sold in Australia.

Best damn Universe figure yet, by miles. Not only did they put some effort in and actually change the thing, but they didn't let some sugar-high eight-year old decide the colour scheme with some crayons.
The G1 Prowl Spychanger rocks too. Amazing what decent paint apps can do to a mediocre mould, as Prowl2 was one of my least favourite RiD Spychangers...
