Poundland had some KO oversized beast Minicons today.a red t-rex, cheetah, white tiger, blue triceratops and maybe one other. also had official GI Joe bobbleheads, based on the 80s designs. picked up one of each design: Cobra Commander and Duke.

Home Bargains had the DOTMs in. Deluxes £5.99 (Roadbuster, the Mech'd-out Bee, the green surveillance plane -Air Raid?, open-top Sideswipe and Thundercracker were left after I got the one I'd been looking for), Voyagers £11.99 (or 12.99? maybe. They had the Primes and Shockwave) and £24.99 for the leaders (they had Sentinel and Optimus). Finally got myself an Armour Topspin. Glad I didn't go all out and spend £15 or something on him, but he's not bad for the money.

B&M homestores had a similar, but smaller selection of DOTM stuff at what looked like the same prices.

edit: got my order from TFSource yesterday too, and Kapow shipped my Dark Energon Deluxes today. 12 Days of Transformas.

Happened to be in town, so popped into TRU Norwich.

Nothing new, but they do have a very small selection of DotM Deluxes, including Air Raid and Thundercracker, for £7.99. Also spotted a PRiD Voyager Starscream.

The TV and Movie Store has HA basics and bigger figures, too. But quite pricey.

FAO Chris : try some discount stores (B&M etc) for these guys. You'll get the for £12.99 instead of £19.99 in Sainsburys.

2 packages arrived from Kapow Toys today, both sent at the same time. One arrived with every corner bashed in, and in a Royal Mail plastic bag as it was soaked. It contained 4 Dark Energon deluxes, 2 of which were badly soaked. The other box was in perfect shape which contained FoC Starscream.

Im gonna have my finger nails chewed down to the knuckles waiting to see what shape my Stunticon Botcon set turns up looking like, as it's coming from the USA.

That's awful, sorry to hear that!
Royal Mail is being quite the pain recently, over all of Norwich.

Are you planning on complaining?

I've just had some customs trouble with some of my OMFG artist's proofs coming in from the States. No idea why Spanky would mark a $22 order as a $100 value on the declaration. He was very apologetic when a few people had the same issue on the October Toys forums and did throw $20 back my way though which covered most of the extra costs. If the value had been enough that it actually warranted a VAT charge then fair enough (it wasn't), it's the bloody £8 handling fee that get's my hackles up every time.
