Thundercat Toys UK Release Date
 

Greetings All,

First time poster, Long time lurker.

I have received a reply from Bandai UK about the release date of the figures:

Thank you for your enquiry

Bandai UK will launch Thundercats from 1/12/2011 in the UK.

Kind regards
Bandai UK Ltd

Looks like a long long wait.... :(

December? Wow, that is a long wait. But at least we have official confirmation they are making it over there.

Yeah, decided this morning to send the mail and ask. Lo, and behold, when i returned home from work, there was the reply.

I am kinda hoping that they take off like Ben 10 over here, because that is mental. From what I understand, Ben 10 is bigger on this side of the pond.

Congrats on the news, guys! You'll have to let us know when you get them in hand!

First Post and it gets front paged. This is epic.

This is the first site I have posted news on and got any credit, I will try to get as much information as I can on this side of the pond to help out this site.

THUNDERCATS HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better late than never. It's good to know they'll be available in the UK. The more support for the line, the better.

Being from U.S.A. Do these uk and other country toys look the same? or is it just the wording on the packaging that changes? i mean why the big wait? toys should b like a tv, that includes english, spanish, french, chinse ect, I never understood why these other plces get stuff months after we do. but im glad they get sumthing. so thats kool

Could be a number of reasons. Licensing is probably the key here. Licensed properties like this have to be negotiated on a "per territory" basis.

the hell?!?!? can't we order somerwhere else?!?! man that's too long....

oh? i didnt know that.
Imagin if they said no or like, didnt aprove of these toys or watever? man that would piss alot of people off over there, lol surly they can order em online but it suxs when ur own country, or state , doesnt aprove of sumthing u want/like.

Thats good news, i guess thats when the cartoon will be shown then.

That's my Xmas present for myself sorted then, now what to get everyone else..........

Confirmations
 

I have just received confirmation as to the reason behind the wait for us here in the UK,

'We are sorry but this is the earliest we can get stock into the UK and launch across all retailers.

Kind regards
Bandai UK Ltd'

At least it seems we are getting it all.

Just have to wait now..............

Awesome! Now where the hell is the info for a Canadian release?

Congrats to the UK fans I hope the hunts go well for all of you!!

Gee, great, now where's the Canadian release!? :mad:

Glad we're getting everything. And just before Christmas too - woo-hoo!

Do you know which toy stores they will be going to yet ?
