Have Beast Hunters wave three deluxes been released yet in UK?

They are out now in Tesco as well.

As are Voyager Ultra Magnus and Grimwing.

SAY WHAT? why didn't anyone mention this sooner? It's kind of "big" news.

They just skipped shockwave?

I'm going to need to see a receipt for those D: >

This good enough?

I'm a bit short on cash for a week or so will pick them up when I'm paid. They had 2 full cases of wave 3 deluxes on top of the display too.

Oh dear lord.

More walletpain to cope with this month. I'll be looking for these at some point over the weekend. Thanks Magnus!

Still kind of worrying that we haven't seen shockwave appear here though.

I went through the entire shelf and there was no Shockwave. Unless he is 1 per case and was already taken then he isn't in the wave.

I went on a massive hunt locally today, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's and TRU. All they had was wave 1 and 2 deluxe and voyager wave 1, no Magnus, no Grimwing and certainly no Shockwaves!

I pre-ordered Shockwave from these guys a while back. I think they still have Magnus and Grimwing in stock at retail... http://www.robotrecruits.co.uk/

They're in stock, these guys have Blight and Rippersnapper too!
Finally I can complete my Vanilla Abominus.

But they are priced as deluxe toys. £12.99 is way too much, but that's the price that size class is in TRU.

My MP Acid Storm was delivered yesterday. I may have saved £5 but there was no packing at all and it was just dumped in a delivery bag. Its damaged of course so will take it to the local TRU to be replaced. I sent TRU an email explaining my disgust.

Yep, got mine delivered the other day, same packaging here, just a thin grey plastic bag!
You do kinda expect a little more when a package is loaded onto a delivery van amongst others... even a little bit of bubble wrap would have been ok?

I would like to see Sunstorm released over here (without the cape) and while theyre at it, lets create/mash-up/repurpose/homage this mold into 'Icestorm' in a frenzyRumble stylee!!

Heck, I should have probably bought myself 2x Ikea Detolf cabinets instead of Acid Storm....maybe?



My local B & M Home Store in Bedford town have a few TF Prime Deluxes on the shelf including Wheeljack, Airachnid, Ratchet, Bumblebee and 3x Vehicons!!
Own they all already so no need for more troops but at £6.99 theyre not bad at all...

Reduced prices are back on Beast Hunters stuff at Tesco until 2/10/13. Grabbed Smokescreen and Soundwave for £9.50 each. Looks like the Predacons Risng stuff is included this time, shelf tag but no stock for the combiner set at £16. My local has never had any of the other exclusives on the shelf though, so will need somebody with a bigger store to confirm if the rest of the exclusives are marked down.

My MP SW arrived from TRU UK today, but it was shipped in the Hasbro MP SW shipping box. Seems to be pot luck as to if they send it in a box or in a postal bag I'm afraid.
My TRU UK MP OP arrived in a Hasbro shipping box as well

Yes, my Soundwave also came in its carton box which I thought was excellent. I'm not so annoyed about Acid Stroms box any more and I am tempted to just open it rather than get it replaced, it is just a box after all and I plan to keep the figure.

I'll try to check tonight.

Yes indeed, EVERY TF tesco have to offer is reduced.
Sky Lynx and all deluxes are £9
Darksteel is £15, voyagers are £16
Commander 2 pack is £11
Constructbots elites are £11
Commanders are £6 and while the shelf may not show, legions are £3.75
Abominus is £16 too I think.

Look for a sexy end of aisle display

sweet. my mum actually texted me about these today, but "theyre on offer" didn't mean a whole lot to me. looks like I did right in not picking up Darksteel and Syklynx yet. Don't regret Abominus, because it's still a nice set of 5 bots that you can stand on each other in beast mode to make a vaguely stable combiner.

Nice offer from Tesco, if I was into beast bots I'd be collecting quite a few clubcard points today.

I managed to pick up deluxe Dreadwing from a larger Tesco's today, he was already reduced to £9.50 but I had a 'price match' coupon so he only cost me £1.39!

Endcap is at my tesco too! Picked up the abominus set. Narrowly resisted picking up 'Thunderclash Prime' due to sentimental value.

More interestingly however, I carried on hunting today and a plentiful haul was had. First off, this is from my local comic shop who are independently run, but owned by forbidden planet. Sitting on the pegs next to Grimwing and Magnus (who I also bought, Magnus is the most fun I've had in a long time.)



Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 4
Despite that price being higher than retail, I still nabbed it, can confirm it's a european version due to the lack of 'tales of the beast hunters' on his instruction sheet.
Staff here confirmed the voyager crate this wave is 1 Prime, 1 Grimwing, 2 Magnus. So no shockwaves yet I'm afraid.

Next, moved on to the entertainer after picking up a shadow bee on clearance, I moved on to TRU. I picked up bumblebee and trailcutter, no sign of hoist or thundercracker though,, just wave 1.

More interestingly though, I spotted FOC wave 3. 2 sideswipes and an ultra Magnus.


Also, the construct-a-bots 2 pack


and at the checkout I found these Blind Bag Microns.


Today was a fine day for my shelves, not so fine for my wallet, but hey, I've completed my screen accurate Season 3 team prime!

That's a lot of 'new' stuff on shelves!

I want those wave 4 deluxes!

MightyMagnus78 wrote:I want those wave 4 deluxes!

They had 2 cases worth at least, and the staff said they'd been flying off shelves all morning. I expect they'll be showing up everywhere soon enough.

Nice find on the Wave 4 Deluxes.

The Wave 3 FoC's showing up seems weirdly timed as I was just asking if anyone had seen them last week lol.

Annoyingly they didn't have any of at Toys R Us Chatham this morning, I might just order them off of the website before they vanish.

Chatham did have a bunch of MP Soundwave and Acid Storms, 4 Soundwaves on the and another unopened case waiting to go out. Also had a few MP Optimus' left.

My Local Asda also had Wave 3 Deluxes of Beast Hunters.

Nice haul Sir, nice haul!

I want to complete my screened characters throughout all three seasons retaining a decent scale (Voyagers/Deluxe) so hopefully my list
below covers everyone, but if Im missing anyone please add to it!

Optimus Prime [Voyager]
Ratchet [Deluxe]
Arcee [Deluxe] Although the Cyberverse figure may scale better?
Bulkhead [Voyager]
Bumblebee/Shadow Bee [Deluxe]
Wheeljack [Deluxe]
Smokescreen [Deluxe]
Ultra Magnus (Optimus Prime retool) [Voyager]
Cliffjumper [Deluxe]
Tailgate Perhaps a repaint or custom of the Cliffjumper mold?

Megatron [Voyager]
Starscream [Deluxe]
Soundwave [Deluxe]
Knockout [Deluxe]
Airachnid [Deluxe]
Breakdown [Voyager]
Skyquake [Voyager]
Dreadwing [Voyager]
Shockwave [Voyager]
Hardshell There only seems to be a Cyberverse scaled figure which is too small?
Bombshock As above?
Vehicon (Ground Force) [Deluxe]
Vehicon (Air Force) [Deluxe]
Predaking [Ultra or Voyager]
Darksteel [Voyager]
Skylynx [Deluxe]
Makeshift Perhaps a custom could be made from a white Wheeljack and a Dark Energon Wheeljack, part swapped to give the appearance of him phasing into the copy of Wheeljack!!

Unicron [Voyager]
Scraplets [Dr Wu 3rd Party]

The humans (if needed) I believe have been more or less covered with the Entertainment Packs?

All covered or am I missing someone...?

All covered or am I missing someone...?

Jet Vehicon General?

For Makeshift you could always get the Dr Wu WJ head without the face plate?
