It stands to reason, they are not letting spamS ship to the UK because retailers will get hit hard if UK collectors already have them. They will want retailers to pick up future waves. I also got a reply from bandai themselves via email saying they will launch thundercats on 1st Dec, i really cant see why the classics wouldnt launch either. Definitely wait and see its a strong possibility we will still get the classics. Exactly what I was thinking. Bandi has a small market share and need to move units in the UK to build retailer confidence and prove people want the figures. If they let online retailers sell them th the UK those are that many fewer figures that will help them at retail. On a few of the Tundercats fansites there are people in the UK looking for figures and making deals to get them from US fans because they doubt they will be able to find them at retail. If Bandi is blocking spamS from selling them overseas it is most likely because they are planning on releasing them there as well.

I picked up a couple classic Lion-o's on Sunday. It is an awesome figure that has quite a bit of articulation and cool accessories.

Saw the Classics in my local TRU 22.99 I'll wait as 16.99 is the suggested retail and I'm sure Kmart or Target might get them. i passed on them. There spread all over the place the vehicles are in the Ben 10 aisle, the classics were mixed in with the Halo/Neca stuff, and the role play was near the DC Marvel section.

Bandai will be shipping the classics to the UK so dont rush on eBay and spend way over the top. Ive got quite a few of the old LJN figures and a lot of newer stuff in terms of statues. I must try and get a few pics up once i have them all on display. The LJN figures from the 80s cost a bomb mint on card. I have a few of the old LJN figures MOC, including Lion-O. Got them quite a few years back. I have all of the current 4" figures, deluxe, thundertank, and classics. On the fence about the 6" because of the price point.

I like all of the figures, but am sticking to the 4" line myself. Bandai has said they will get more 4" out before the end of the year, including mutants and deceased characters. They hope to have the 6 Thundercats all released in Classic form by the end of 2012.

Good to hear, I can't wait for more from this line. I hope they release a classic Mumm-ra also.

Not a big fan of thundercats but they look great for 4 inchers

I saw the deluxe 4" Mumm-Ra & Grune figures today, but at $15 each couldn't pull the trigger on them.

4" look like crap. 6" were decent, but not at $18 a fig. The classic line will be what I stick with.

What happened to Mumm-Ra? I remember dude being huge, that figure makes him look like Herbert the Pervert.
