As the title says! I know it's a toys r is exclusive in the US, has anyone seen them in the UK? I really want them (maybe just the individual figures for now) or is this yet another toy we're going to miss out on?

When I was last talking to Dave Tree he was trying to get some of it in at All the Cool Stuff. Could be worth giving him a ring as he's not the best at replying to emails or pms!

I sent a message to him on Facebook, he mentioned he was trying to get a deal on some! It's so bloody frustrating when you know they should be £2 each!

The TBP set looks amazing from what I have seen posted elsewhere.

I have some of these and I'm getting some more sent over

I'll let anyone know about any spares I have, sadly after shipping they won't be £2 though...

I wouldn't actually be that shocked if the Kre-O made it over here. I mean, they *did* release the Kre-O Battleship line. I would have thought it was more likely to be released than Retaliation figures... but that's probably just me bitter we've had no Joes since Risible... I mean Rise of Cobra :D

From what I've heard Hasbro have no intention of bringing any GI Joe Retaliation product to the UK as there's "No market". (How's that make your blood boil?)

Kre-O, although owned by Hasbro has it's exclusive Joe line at TRU so maybe they're going to bring some over! I really hope so as they're cool figures and sets, I'd love to have even the basic blind bag sets.

There's also some Star Trek Kre-O coming out which isn't a TRU exclusive so should be more readily available here. I've looked in to getting Joe Kre-O but have no hope if it's a TRU exclusive.
