I'll be back in Norwich on Friday afternoon, but really will be available as of next week.

Not at all. If you were offering to share your Nexus Maximus however that would be quite worrying.

Had two parcels show up today
First up via Kapow is the Seekers: Aces box set. And 2nd was Voyager Dreadwing in european packaging via eBay. Looks like Wave 3 should hopefully make an appearance on these shores after all.

I've stuck a few comments over on reveal-the-shield-generation-classics-haul-thread-p1451666.php#p1451666 about the Seekers set, not good I'm afraid

Thought id 'Blast Off' into Reading today for some Christmas money spendature, and after having to 'Brawl' my way to Toys R Us, I stared into the 'Vortex' of Transformerage and managed to 'Swindle' myself into getting FOC Bruticus. I have now prepared myself for the 'Onslaught' of negativity regarding his retail colours that is sure to come. I also got PRID Dead End and Bin Man Bumblebee, making Vehicon the only PRID deluxe I have yet to purchase. Also, still no Shockwaves in site. Grrrrrr...

Thank you im here all week

There's just not a perfect matched set of the original Seekers from the Classics mould. The various western ones don't have matching wing stripes, the Henkei set has defective Thundercrackers and these guys sound like a disappointment. Glad I'm sticking with my Henkeis and can ignore these.

I have got (or had) classics SS and Skywarp, 2th anni SS and Gen Thundercracker (oh and classics Acid Storm) All of which bar Gen Thundercracker have had horrendous QC so that dont surprise me at all, i just keep them in jet mode, floppy wings aint such a pain.

Just to add, a transformer collecting mate of mine rang TRU today. For Gen waves they are apparantly sorting through all figs at TRU head office and supplying stores with a balanced stock. Hopefully it will make things easier.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'balanced stock'?
Deluxe wave cases usually include a figure twice or thrice etc usually as an example BumbleBee, which is why he's so over stocked. Foc/generations wave 2 didn't have anyone appear twice in a case as far as I know it was the five combaticons, prime, jazz and shockwave making up the eight.
I've no idea if anyone appears in wave 3 more than once.

I'd hardly think that they would remove a figure form a case just because it appears more than once.

Or do you mean that each UK TRU store will get the same amount of stock as every other TRU store no matter of location, size etc instead of the flagship/bigger stores getting priority?
