Hi folks, my 29th birthday comes up at the end of this month, and our lass has agreed that if i can find certain transformers for good prices then she'll buy me a few, so with that in mind i need a wee bit of help.

Ideally i dont want all the TF's i'm going to list, but if they are grouped together then i am looking for that group, and if you jolly peoples can find me good prices i may be lucky enough to get most of them.

Only thing that i need to let you knwo is i'm in the UK, so would be looking for shops/mail order's to the UK.

so onto the list.

Sidewipe (new version)(best find amazon £14.99 + shipping)
Dino (cant find the model, is it out yet?)
Que/wheeljack (cant find the model, is it out yet?)

Leadfoot (cant find the model, is it out yet?)
roadbuster ( best find amazon £10.99 + shipping)
topspin ( best find amazon £14.70+shipping)

Soundwave (cant find the model, is it out yet?)
shockwave leader class (best find, amazon, £28.00 voyager class)
barricade (in white, cant find the model, is it out yet?)

Crankcase (cant find the model, is it out yet?)
hatchet (cant find the model, is it out yet?)
crowbar (cant find the model, is it out yet?)

Long Haul(WM garbage truck) (cant find the model, is it out yet?)

Any and all help would be appreciated ladies and gentleman, i'll update this first post each time someone adds something, thanks again for helping.

Dino, Que, (Deluxe & HA) Leadfoot, (deluxe & HA)Soundwave, & deluxe Crowbar are not out yet. A Leader class Shockwave has not been announced. A WM truck transformer, although very cool, is highly unlikely.

You're from the UK? Dang, then you have no choice but go online. UK and Europe are notorious for getting shipments later, as well as lines being cut short.

Most of what you're listing isn't out yet, as said before. Also, Long Haul was a Constructicon dump truck in Revenge of the Fallen, so I highly doubt he's gonna make a reappearance. Right, I'll go through your list on what's out and what isn't:

Sidewipe: Released in US.
Dino: Upcoming, under the name Mirage
Que: Upcoming, likely under the name Wheeljack.

Leadfoot: both Deluxe and Human Alliance are upcoming. Mind you, he may not see a UK release, since they're exclusive to Target thanks to sponsorship.
Roadbuster: Released.
Topspin: Released in the US.

Soundwave: Both Deluxe and Human Alliance are upcoming.
Shockwave: Voyager has just been released in Europe, no Leader is announced.
Barricade: I'm assuming you're talking about Cyberverse Legion, as that's the only version in white. In that case, released. The Deluxe only comes in black, released in US.

Crankcase*: Released.
Hatchet: Cyberverse Commander released in US, no other version announced.
Crowbar: Cyberverse Legion released in US, no other version announced.

* Be careful when ordering Deluxe Crankcase, the middle finger has been (sloppily) chopped off in later releases, and completely remolded to eliminate the long finger altogether in current releases. To see who's got what, look for the number imprinted on the back of the card, close to the Paramount logo. They're just rules of thumb, and no guarantee:

10131 and lower: intact long middle fingers
10601 - 11121 : chopped middle fingers
11121 and higher: remolded fingers

Thats all good stuff, cheers folks

Wheres the best place (on this site or elsewhere) to find out about upcoming TF releases?

If i can figure out when something is coming out at least i can put some money aside for the future.

And has anyone in the UK found leadfoot yet?

Only Legends Leadfoot is released, not the Deluxe. Even then, he's only available in the US.

As for info, just stick around the forums. Better yet, camp out like I do. I've saved ya a spot.
