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....

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.

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

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.

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..............
