If anyone gets a good (or bad, either works) photo of them, please let the news team know!

I'm stuck in Stansted at the moment, and wifi is about to go.

Have you got that bad boy opened yet? Would love some hands on details.

I'll post some details later after I've got the nipper to bed, done the washing up, walked the dog, etc, etc, and drunk myself into sweet oblivion.

I cant see the photo online for some reason, do you have the receipt in the same picture, and is it in or outside the box. And no one happens to have a picture of them on the pegs in the stores righ? With the price in the picture?

A man after my own heart

Fingers crossed they'll have them in the symths near me, I must say though, I'm surprised that toys r us only got the AoE Generation figures as exclusives.

Right hopefully these are a bit clearer.

The cashier was having troubles scanning the barcode as the computer couldn't find it on file. So receipt doesn't show much.

This is my feeble attempt to get them on the pegs.

Having the flu is horrible. Blegh.

Those wing tabs are present on the MP3 mold as well, but they don't seem to do a whole lot on my versions.

Good to hear Combiner wars are appeariong in Smyths. Shame there's none near Nottingham, but at least there is hope we're getting them.

Snagged a Bumblebee Driller from Original Factory Shop last week after the tip on here and just spotted that Home Bargains have them on the website a fiver cheaper at £9.99, with the Sky Claw and Apex Armour also available. Glad to have one all the same.

Damn, I do not have a Smyths handy near me, there's one in st. helens, but as I don't drive its impossible to get to (no bus/train routes there) the easiest is the one on the retail park in Speke, which isn't at all easy either, would be a bus to get the train to Liverpool, to then get a bus to the retail park, and the same journey back home and that's just to have a look see :/ will have to wait and hope they come to either toys r us or the entertainer.

Hopefully Kapow have some left over once the pre-orders are fulfilled.

I'd have to check that same smyths. I'm north liverpool (bootle) so speke is the opposite end of the city for me.

Well the symths near me do indeed have both silverbolt and prime in...I was £2 short though

tempted to buy both but want to see when they get the limbs in. They also had the warrior class of robots in disguise, was severely tempted by Strong Arm and Steel Jaw but I held back.

Well, there's a Smyths in Goodmayes, near where I live. I might check it out at some point after Christmas. I get paid early on the 19th this year, so I may go for Silverbolt if they stock him.

Had another pop into my local Toys R Us again today. Dad didn't want me to look at them, but I did have enough time to notice that the Age of Extinction Wave 2 Deluxes (Drift etc.) were on the shelves. Luckily, they are on my Christmas list! Hopefully I will get lucky!

Sat Dec 13, 2014 1:24 pm

Here's Optimus Prime and Silverbolt on the shelves at Smyths (Rayleigh), both at £22.99.

Picked up OP and RiD Steeljaw in the end:

Good to hear about toys r us getting the aoe wave 2 deluxes in. Personally I'm pretty annoyed having been held up getting to my local smyths only to arrive and be told by the manager they'd sold the last combiner wars voyager 30 mins before I got there. Going back first thing tomorrow as they apparently get deliveries every day including Sunday. Desparately want a silverbolt! They did have rid deluxe strongarm, not too fussed myself, especially at 14.99

Combiner Wars voyagers found at Smyths toys, Oldbury. I bought both Prime and Silverbolt, and they had one of each left. As others have posted, they would not scan at the tills. Another member of staff had to give the cashier the item number to key in manually.
No deluxes sadly, though CW didn't seem to have a designated space, as Bolt and Prime were soughta just sitting randomly on the shelf amidst AOE stuff. I nearly missed them. For some reason here they are stickered at £24.99 :-(
