Wilko is always amazing for transformers. Only place other than TRU I can generally get the new releases in Brighton\Worthing



There's a Wilko in Brighton?

You used to have good toys shops down there and decent vintage in the lanes.

Be careful with buticus, it gets stress marks easily on the weapons especially the one on onslaughts back which hold part of it in place

Thanks for the info i felt it was cheaper to get bruticus as a whole for £50 instead of paying around £65 for the 5 combaticons individually and since no retailer in the uk knows when the new transformers figures will be released i might as well start getting some off the web even when the age of extinction figures gets released i wont be getting them all straight away as some will go down in price

I didnt manage to get out as far as I wanted at the weekend, so only popped in to B&M Home Store to see whats what.

Not sure what they are doing in the Bedford store but there was no Transformers. None. Nil. :???:

I had a good look around but only found two 1:18 scale RoadBots squeezed onto a shelf that was way too small for them so both boxes had been crushed? Nice one B&M! :michaelbay:

I got Knock-out in mine, he is also shown in the instruction manual so I would guess, unless there are multiple versions of the manual, that Knock-out is the "mystery" character in every set. But I am happy to be wrong on that!

I see online that Prime set has gone down to £11 so I will pick that up soon as well :)

Has anyone seen Wave 3 of the Micro Changers anywhere? My local Morrisons where I have picked up all the others Still has Wave 2.. Even put out fresh boxes of them the past week or so :(

I've seen them about a fair bit, Prowls I mean. Last week in toys r us in Southampton. A few around my neck of the woods too.

Let me know if you want one, I'll pick you one up if I see them in the next few days.

I am guessing that the appearance of the simplified Voyagers is the final decider in the grand will-we-see-Shockwave debate.

Tesco Extra Brent Park:
Nothing too noteworthy... Sharkticon Megatron was present at £24, and BH deluxes and Commanders Also spotted in neighbouring Ikea: moosemeat salami. Highly recommended. You can really taste the moose. It got me thinking there should have been a Beast era moose-former. Antlers.
