Power Master Optimus Prime listed as coming this month on the Smyths website

no bizarre ambiguity on his page either, like with the voyagers. He seems fairly competitively priced.

Has anyone checked for TR figures in Smyths Speke (south liverpool)?

I'd have been right on it myself to get down there and check, but my usual ride is off on holiday in bloody Gran Canaria. Alright for some [-(

Quick question for the guys and gals who've had luck at Smyths this week.
What's the price tags like?
I don't recall having seen how much the Titan Master class figs are at UK retail :???:

Don't know about smyths, but TRU have the legends at £10.99. I got my Rewind from there. They also had stripes and Wheelie. Honestly, had I known the different plastic colours on the hasbro one was so close to each other, I would have gone hasbro wheelie. The photos make the difference look way more than it is.

If by Titan Masters you mean the ones like Nightbeat and Crashbash, they have those at Toys R Us for £6, I have seen them in store at my local one, along with the legends class figures.

Looking at these TRU site, I am realizing that the prices arent that bad.

These here are cheaper than how much they cost in the US for instance:

They're charging a hundred quid for 3 deluxes. It could be 3 voyagers and it would still be daylight robbery!

Ah, fair enough.

I'm still staggered by how much they're asking for those Platinum and Computron sets though.

New Argos book out on Saturday, so maybe some TR's in that

Both Smyths in the Merseyside area are a total waste of time. Speke and st. Helens. Neither had anything past W4.

Not to be contentious for no reason, but try finding these items at these prices in the physical world. 'Sold in stores' is a warning shot from a Death Star over here.

But what is the point if you can have them delivered? And shipping is free at 29.

News Credits: 2 · by **Insurgent** » Fri Jul 15, 2016 7:29 pm

Because folks are at work so then it gets delivered and no one is home, so then you have to go out of your way to get them from the local post depot. Which could be the other side of town.

Plus you have to pay for postage. Plus you can see the item before you buy so can check for paint issues. Plus some people prefer the thrill of the hunt, actually finding these things instead of just pressing a button and getting it all done for them.

Also, 'available in store' means 'not available for delivery'.

New Argos catalog has Sentinel Prime & a deluxe TR figure in it! but highly doubt they'll be in stock yet(at least here in Scotland anyway!) coz when i tried to bring Sentinel up on their in-store computer thingy.....all that came up were CW Voy figs

A mate of mine has set up his own little tf selling business. Hes only been going a couple of weeks and brexit kinda screwed him, so I thought id pimp his business here a bit.

the facebook page https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1127826607260633

and the ebay

Hurrah! I managed to finally find some, at TRU, Parkhead, Glasgow

So i picked up Crashbash & Wheelie

I also found (& got) all the Deluxe CW Combaticons at Asda, Parkhead, Glasgow, so it's been a busy little day

Scored the entire wave 1 of legends at TRU Liverpool one. Haven't had that happen at brick and mortar stores since Orion Pax and Trail Cutter! I may have bagged the last Wheelie though, sorry!

I didnt see a shelf tag spot for any titan masters, so i'm guessing they didnt have any, but it's pretty small as TRUs go.

Wheelie is just marvellous. Rewind is brilliant if a bit simple. Poor stripes feels a bit hampered in every mode, but i'd say his tiger mode is the best of the 3. It'd be good without the kibble along his back.

Smyth's Toys website has CW Smokescreen up! so maybe there's still hope for the rest of SkyReign to come out(in stores in the UK that is)
http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys ... okescreen/

They also have some Titans Returns figures up too!

Meanwhile....TRU have got CW Computron up on their website

I'm looking for a Legends Wreck Gar and was wondering if he'd been spotted in any ASDA or Sainsbury stores at all yet ?

P.s.

Speaking of ASDA many stores seem to be selling Warrior Class RID for £10.00 each at the moment.
