They're creeping through the supermarkets a chain at a time but I'm surprised there's nothing near you, they seem to have originated up that way and spread accordingly.
Like Vikings.

To be fair the only place I haven't checked yet is the big smyths in the portrack lane business park but it's a bit of a bugger getting to it by foot

It was just Asda to begin with, starting up your way and spreading down to here over a fortnight or so. Now showing up in Sainsbury and Tesco in a pattern worthy of Streetwise's triple-barreled shotgun.

Heyyy, another Nottingham dude! Nice one. A couple of us usually meet up once a month or so in Roebuck at a weekend to chat and hang out being all geeky. Don't know if you want to do meets, but we always welcome more people!

We're looking at monday 22nd around 7pm. We normally do it on a weekend, but we've had scheduling conflicts this month.

Has anybody checked their local Smyths yet? Hoping to hear that Hot Spot has been, er, spotted!

News Credits: 6 · by **MemphisR56** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 4:04 am

I hit my local Entertainer last night looking for a Strongarm, much to my dismay all they had left was one Steeljaw and one Drift.

RiD15 seems to be selling surprisingly well.

At any rate, They had a Blitzwing, a Skybyte, a Sandstorm, a Roadbuster and a Blaster so if anybody's hankering for some T30 voyagers, let me know and I can grab one of these guys.

No Rhinox, Doubledealer, or Brainstorm though, sorry folks.

EDIT: Post on the TF Addicts facebook page shows sightings of Rhinox and Brainstorm at B&M Swansea.

Doubt I'm going to be there, as I've got a hectic few days this weekend.

Just to Update a few stortes whilst on my travels

Derby was a bit lackluster yesterday. I had a quick look in both Smyths and TRU and neither had anything out or the ordinary. It actually seems to have died a death in Smyths. The Minecraft toys have for sure crept into the TF section a few rows!

The TRU is terrible too, though there's still a whole bunch of Armada Megatrons. Can't help but think they will have to come way down in price eventually to move that lot out. Overstocking much?

Doncaster TRU though today has some interesting stuff, they are still clinging onto AOE Deluxes and have a bunch of Gen Voyagers still. Sky Byte, Roadbuster and Whirl are there for £12.75 i think, or whatever the pennies bit was.

Also, they have the decepticon Cassettes for a happy price of £4.99

No sign of Hot Spot & Cyclonus at Smyths Toys yet! But I should've checked their website first! As they'll now be arriving there sometime between the 23rd & 30th of this month! they also have the new Transformers game....Transformers Devastation up on their website for pre order

Not been anywhere this weekend but did pick up an Ebay package with CW Cyclonus in it. Bought him loose with Alpha Bravo and Dragstrip for like £30 so I was happy.

I've finally opened up my Defensor limbs and combined them with Prime for now, looks good but I needs me Hot Spot!

I also managed to ruin Streetwises gun by foolishly trying to combine it with Optimus' gun (top hole of the G1 style part). The peg got jammed and snapped off of Streetwise's

So I guess I'll have to buy another Streetwise

Maybe Argos will be getting Wave 3 in too! Once the Autumn/Winter Catalogue comes out! it'll be interesting to see what TF's they will have

I'd imagine argos would have devesator in it unless it was a toys r us exclusive

Probably a TRU exclusive! but who knows? The obvious one's will probably be CW Defensor & Legion Viper & obviously Groove, maybe some new RID's too! like the minicon deployers ect

I take it you guys are joking and don't really think we will see cw Devastator at retail?

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 1:36 pm

We saw metroplex at retail so I don't expect devy to be any different

That's a very good point, I hope you are right. I was afraid I would have to kill to get my hands on Devastator

Actually here in Scotland in the UK....We never got Generations Metroplex at TRU! it was only when I visited the Comicon in Glasgow last year...did I see Metroplex there....actually the Takara version...to be precise....& it came home with me.

But even though you are correct.....not every place or store saw Generations Metroplex for sale

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:36 pm

Yikes, well at least you got plex in the end

problem with titan class is the size of the box and price which pits a lot of retailers off. Though I remain strong that devy will come to the UK. ..though it doesn't help me afford him at all.

Aye price can be an issue, I doubt we'll see him at B&M Stores! lol, we can only hope that some retailers pick this up....maybe The Entertainer or Smyths Toys, if not TRU! I'm highly doubtful that Argos will be getting it....but stranger things have happened

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 2:52 pm

I only mentioned argos as they would be the second likely place to see it in retail. For the other toy shops to get him they would have to be big shops. Though I'm not sure about independent toy shops...

Just had to post something I just saw on TFW2005

Well,as wave six is the second wave for 2016 I don't supose we'll see it here if the last two years are anything to go by had a look at jazz and sideswipe in sainsburys yesterday... Jazz, oh what a disappointment! His card art made him look like a cross between sludge and Ainsley Harriot, his actual face looked like he had just looked inside the lost ark of the covenent! Sideswipe on the other hand looks quite well done. They also had been and strong arm shelf warming.
