I also asked the British DS Facebook page a few days ago. No sign of it yet, but I expected that since RotR hasn't premiered yet (no release date yet, either.) I think we have to wait for at least some media before we can expect the merchandise to hit stores. Kinda strange how we got the Tsum Tsums at the same time, though.
If you're a UK fan I'd recommend using the US eBAY. I purchased a Janja earlier in the week and managed to snag a Kion today. Neither have arrived yet, but I'm eagerly awaiting them! Sure, sellers are looking to make a little bit of profit (and probably see that there's a fandom overseas desperate for merch), so they're overcharging by about five to eight dollars, but it's worth it imo. It's definitely the most ideal if you want the DS merch, I feel like the other items they're selling at Target are too small and not worth the shipping price, and the possible custom fees... eugh. Nah. Not for me.
It's definitely superior buying from eBAY rather than the American DS or elsewhere, what with the buyer protection they offer and everything. The US Disney Store charge ridiculous amounts for shipping and the custom fees make me queasy.
