Found at Dominoes toys in Leicester:

Skyshadow and Wing Sabre were there too (I know they are for sale on Hasbro UK's site, but I think this is the first time they have showed up in an actual shop.
It's the non-Unicron version by the way. I didn't want it (I wanted the zombie Unicron head dangit!), but seeing it in the plastic just melted away my composure. That's the best pic I could get of the receipt, though if anyone really wants me to I could scan it. Price was £49.99.
Primus is in US packaging, complete with boxart. HOWEVER- it isn't an import, it came directly from Hasbro UK (my mate works at Dominoes). It came the shame shipment as Skyshadow, Wing Sabre and the SWTF Millienuim Falcon. It is worth noting that the Supreme Starscreams I saw in TRU were also in US packaging with boxart, so maybe Hasbro are just importing them? Do they sell Supremes on the continent?
It seems that Hasbro UK have completely axed the tech specs from the their boxes. Wing Sabre and Skyshadow just have their features listed in 12 (!) different languages.
