And there I was hoping they'd still be instock come pay day

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:19 am

I'm sure it will be restocked and supply and demand will make it £35 or more

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:43 am

If anyone missed out on shattered glass prime and ratchet preorders Zavvi for £50 and Staraction figures £52 plus postage.

Staraction also has ER megs and Airwave, Arcee so maybe we will be seeing the rest of wave 2 deluxes/wave 3 voyagers in stores soon.

Allicon showing as available in a select few Smytha stores so it's just a matter of waiting on their deliveries.

SS Cliffjumper showing as available in lots of stores and in fairly decent amounts if states/Canada only got him 1 per case.

To add to that, all of wave 2 Earthrise should now be available in stores. My store's delivery today has included Arcee, Airwave, Allicon and the Quintesson Judge

Indemamd on Facebook. Pulse con new reveals up for preorder at 10pm on Fri 25th, sat 26th.
Monday 12pm on the 28th (mistakenly noted as 29th in their post) all exclusives up for ordering. Quintesson pit is going to be expensive due to customs and not being offered through UK distribution.

Serious question... Who has the money to buy retail figures when so many exclusives are hitting the fan.

Bluestreaks available for pre order on amazon

So, Smyths has the wave 1 kingdom stuff on our system. I can also confirm that the prices have increased.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 7:37 am

No Core Class? Also may I news this? All the sellers so far have brrn American (i know indemandtoys have their preorders so ill news them as well)

News Credits: 11 · by **CyclonusG1** » Sun Sep 27, 2020 8:45 am

Yeah, Smyths don't get the smaller figures unfortunately (been a pain getting the micromasters because of that). But yeah, go ahead and news it. They aren't currently on the website and as with most transformers releases, they're unlikely to go on preorder

Indemands websites a bit on the wonk with everyone rushing to see the exclusives that were going to be listed at 12pm. Quint pit of judgement £90 due to being imported and ID paying all the customs upfront etc.

https://www.indemandtoys.co.uk/product/ ... ort-stock/

Honestly even at a lower price I'd be struggling to justify it (voyager plus deluxe, plus legends nd extras) but hey for those that want it, at least it is available.

by **Collectorbot** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 3:27 am

Agreed - As much as I'd have liked to get hold of the Quint Pit box, i can't justify paying that price, especially as I have the Earthrise judge and Allicon already. Glad it was available for collectors though.

Might be old news but Forbidden Planet has the Walmart reissue Astrotrain in at £45

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 11:02 am

Dunno what happened to Smyths back to the future gigawatt but ID £32 and Kapow £30 both have him listed for preorders and cheaper than the £35 Smyths had it online for.

News Credits: 11 · by **CyclonusG1** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 4:56 pm

Smyths now has Gigawatt back up for preorder at 32.99, they opened their preorders really early for some reason and then blocked it (possibly they weren't meant to be available until today).

Also, if anyone is interested, Forbidden Planet has the shattered glass OP and Ratchet set available for preorder: https://forbiddenplanet.com/309862-tran ... e-ratchet/
Which is about the only place with it still available though it is at forbidden planet prices (54.99 + 5.50 shipping) so I'd recommend ordering it with a bunch of other stuff as 5.50 is the max they charge for shipping on one order, even if things release half a year apart. They'll still send them out at separate times for the same price.

Over on Kapow Toys' Facebook page, they've shared a relatively low res image of the new masterpiece Starscream now in colour! It looks alright.

So, Smyths now has listings for the first Kingdom wave on their website and, in an unusual twist for them, they're taking preorders on all size classes.
Here's a link to the search page that lists the Kingdom figures: https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/sea ... rs+Kingdom

Did your scorponok ever turn up from Amazon UK?

They've currently got Double Dealer up for £45.81

Yep, turned up in a box big enough to fit two people. His box was damaged (prior to packing as no damage to outside box) but all good with their price that kept dropping and a £5 discount voucher at the time.

Sadly Skylynx is holding its price unlike the £45 jetfires

by **eltawater** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 2:00 pm

Good to hear! Amazon are being a bit weird with the pricing at the moment, some of their earthrise stuff and ghostbusters reissues are priced way above normal RRP.
