You know the weird thing about the Combaticons?
The packaging had no language other than English.

Is it possible that TRU is importing its stock directly from the US, rather than waiting for the European multilingual release?

:-?
Ive been stuffed by my workplace! :P
Not being paid until Christmas Eve, so Im not even gonna bother with TRU until after Chrimbo!

I keep checking in with the 2 Bedford Argos stores, yet neither of them have had the Vehicon or Hotshot they advertise in their laminated book of dreams, so heck only knows when they plan on getting any new waves?

Guess I will have to head back to B & M Home Store for my TF fix! :lol:

Pretty sure Argos have to stock all of them, at least once, or else they're lying about the numbers of different characters available. Of course, I doubt anyone can actually prove that they haven't.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

Found the 5 FoC Combaticons in Toys'R'Us, Newtownabbey, Belfast.
They had one complete set of 5 when I left earlier today.

Popped into Bedford town yesterday and found a few Transformers bits at Wilko's (Wilkinsons) on the High Street.

They had Transformers Prime Deluxe figures Bumblebee (of course), Wheeljack, Kup x2, Dead End and Rumble which was good to see. :D
Quite a few DOTM Cyberverse (I think?) including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Topspin, Ironhide and one or two others.

Didnt have much time to look there so cant remember what else they had! ;)

Might check B & M Home Store tomorrow?

Popped into Toys 'R' Us in Bedford today and spotted Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Decepticon Bruticus in his many pieces, all accounted for plus FOC Optimus Prime and Shockwave too. :D

I have to say, looking close at the figures themselves, they are pretty decent in their own way, large too, not like lil Shocky and lil Jazz! ;)
The colours on some of them are a little odd, but look better in person if you see what I mean? :-?
Interesting...

Italy is pants for Transformers this time round.

So far I've seen one Cyberverse Ark set. And I've been to seven different shops.
Bah.
