Hey guys, haven't posted here in an absolute age. I realise I haven't bought a Transformer in this country since Generations Windcharger, mind you, I've only bought Junkheap since then.

Anyone seen any sign of the new Generations figures?

Motto: "Fnargh."
They apparently showed up in Ireland, if it's the Fall of Cybertron ones you're talking about.

Haven't seen or heard anything about other Generations, or Prime (although TRU does have them all in stock, apart from Vehicon -- of course).

I do have heard of Gen/FOC stuff being in Toys R Us. Have yet to go check out my local one though. Too scared of The Hive.

Picked up commanders Magnus, Skyquake and Starscream in Tesco, £7 each. Left the Prime and Bulkhead repaints on the shelf. Deluxes were marked down to £8, but only wave 2 stock on the shelf.

yeah, I saw the new Cyberverse Commanders in Tesco as well. Deluxes and Voyagers are on sale, couple of quid off, but all Wave 1. TRU was the same, shelf after shelf of Wave 1 Prime. Weaponizers are dribbling out onto shelves like so much narcotic induced vomit from the corner of Hasbro's mouth. TRU had the Cyberverse Jackhammer as well, but no Driller. :(

Kreo stuff was on sale too at TRU, but not by enough for me to contemplate getting any. They had...I think the technical term is "crap ton" of it as well. None of the little blind packed Kreons anywhere that I could see.

Non-TF related, but TRU also has some GI Joe movie figures (from the first film...that they still haven't got rid of) down to £2.99 each as well. Was tempted to get a few, but ended up not bothering, after the disappointment of seeing the TF selection.

Got me a commander ultra magnus from Sainsbury's didcot on the weekend. Pretty neat little guy, actually.
Other than that they had BB andCliff deluxe, BB and Cliff legion, shadow/dark/stealth/whatever they like to call him now BB legion, and prime, ironhide, scream, and repaint prime commanders.

Got a Voyager Prime Starscream from Toys R Us in Croydon, but no Bulkhead to speak of. They had all of the wave 3 deluxes except Vehicon. Managed to snag a couple of Vehicons from the website on Sunday, but they go very quickly. Overall though it seems Toys R Us have by one way or the other most of the current stuff starting to filter through. Have a horrible feeling that this is probably the last wave we'll see though...

2 posts... rolling.

I was just about to post that. :D

Toys R Us (spending way too much time there) had all the generations deluxes, and pretty much everything else that is currently on release. Managed to grab my Prime Bulkhead finally.

Smyths has a 20% sale on at the minute, plus I found bot shots wave 4 and the second wave of three packs. Got the lot for little over £30 so more then chuffed today.
