Working for a Tesco Express myself I know that labels can be missed, like swapping out old prices for new ones. When the RID figures started showing up at Tesco's and people on here said there Tesco's were selling DOTM deluxes at £3 each I should have took one to the tills to check the pricing on them, but didn't think to do that at the time, by the time I got back about 2 weeks later all that was left were 4 Nitro Bumblebee's which leads me to suspect they very well may have been knocked down in price and just a new label hadn't been put in to say so, Hence them selling most of their deluxes, about 15 odd in two weeks. At £3 a piece I would have only been interested in the cooler Mech Tech weapons really, the Bot itself depending on who it would have been would have been fodder and spare parts for customs :P

I keep scanning the DotM stuff at the price check points and it's still coming up at £9.72.

Ahh okay then :P that sucks, Tesco's always hit and miss it seems

Forbidden planet have some of the newer waves due to be available 30th May on their website but the dates keep changing :/ Also I don't think this is in store, I went into the Forbidden Planet in Liverpool when the these toys started coming into Argos, and asked when they'd be getting Transformers Prime stuff in, they hadn't a clue what I was talking about and went on their computers and said it didn't show up with anything new to be coming in, been back in since and all they had were a couple of the legion class figures. I remember when I was younger, going into Forbidden Planet and there were whole sections just for transformers, all different kinds, now it's just a little section next to clearance with the same stuff that's in the entertainer on sale :/

The thing with Forbidden Planet is that it's actually two different companies with the same branding. The London store is the one with the same company as New York and the other international locations. The rest of the stores nationally are a separate company that broke away many moons ago. Hence why you find Japanese imports in London and only Hasbro offerings in the other locations.

Tesco had Cyberverse Commanders on the shelves at £5.xx (it was under £6, but not by much, IIRC) and had quite a lot of them. All wave 1.

I am starting to wonder what happened to him, it's like he suddenly ceased to exist.
