The Capsule Arms Micron figures that were released in Japan over the last year and a bit, have seen a release in the UK in blind-bags through Tomy (the non-Japanese branch of TakaraTomy).... or more specifically, their Euro branch called Tomy-Gacha.
The first wave was released in England last year, and are now being found in Germany (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/arms-micron-blind-packs-showing-up-in-germany-178215/). This wave contains Optimus, Bumblebee, both frogs, both cobras (which is the same assortment of the JP wave 1).
Now a second wave has been found in England (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-arms-micron-blind-bags-wave-2-at-uk-retail-178221/), containing Arcee, Megatron, Bulkhead, and both turtles (which is the same as the JP wave 2).
(note that the turtle colours on the packaging are wrong - they are actually the same as the JP versions)
We actually have Tomy products released here as well, but I don't think we'll see these here though, as we have a different branch of Tomy here.
