TRU Norwich seems to have a steady supply of FoC Combaticons: they had Swindle, Vortex and Brawl, compared to last time's Onslaught, Vortex, Blast-Off and Brawl.

For PRiD, Rumble, Kup and Airachnid all showed up! But no later wave Voyagers.

STILL NO STEVE.

According to the manager, because of the trend of excess stock of certain figures they are ordering equal quantities until they know what is selling. Sounded strange to me, but they confirmed it. Apparantly they will be shipping excess unwanted figures out to other dealers

I've seen the last deluxe Prime line hit the TRU shelves here in the last few weeks as well, a good few months after everywhere else. TRU UK are as useless as Hasbro UK lol.
The wave that included Vehicon I've only ever seen twice on real store shelves here, but everywhere is coming down with Wave 1,2 and the last wave.

I have no idea whether this has already been mentioned but I'm SOOOO excited by it that I'm going to mention it anyway, so apologies if this is old news.

It looks like we in the UK are days away from potentially getting our hands on PRIME RiD voyager wave 4 figures from our highstreet stores. My local Argos store has received a delivery of a single Thundertron and two Ultra Magnus figures. :D

If that wasn't good enough, both of the new figures (along with Powerizers Optimus, Starscream, and Weaponizers Bumblebee and Optimus) have unique catalogue numbers! :grin: It's about to get a whole lot easier for us to track down the specific figures we want, and not be disappointed stumbling upon the figures we've already seen for the umpteenth time. More than that, it'll help provide retailers with cold, hard facts about which characters actually sell. (I just hope it doesn't backfire on us collectors. :-$ )

Could you post the cat numbers please. Was in my local Argos today and they knew nothing of individual skus etc.

Nova this post is why you are one of my best friends X'D

On-topic, I have genuinely not seen any TFs worth even vaguely noting if any at all in stores I've happened to have been in for lord knows how long, coupl'a months I'd guess.-also had a significant lack of energy/motivation/effort hence the lack of posts, sorry 'bout that ^^'

Did you know? Rosie Huntington-Whitely's great-great-uncle served in the second world war, and his grandfather was a conservative Prime Minister.

I was in three different Smyths stores over the last few days, and all three had very little in the way of Transformers. The usual display had been reduced to 1/4 of what they had before.

Norwich is boring, recently.

Was almost tempted into buying the Combaticons, but then I remembered I really don't like them. :D

I did get PRiD Rumble from TRU though. Waiting patiently for Steve to show up.
