You can now preorder the Wave 3 voyagers at Forbidden Planet. They are said to come to there before Wave 2...

Havent checked this thread for a while, stopped getting updates. I hope Chatham TRU gets some Sandstorms in as I kick myself for not getting one earlier.

Hey guys

Just thought i'd share that Smyths in Derby was looking great the other day.
Sandstorm, Springer, Blitzwing and Prime Generations as well as the three aerialbots and Drag Strip. I'm abit new to this hunting down transformers but by far this store has been a best bet, so anyone needing stuff in the Midlands, head there

Certainly kicking the arse off of Toys R us, who have only got a silver bolt hidden under shelves of movie spam.

No surprises there! FP pull you in with their tempting low prices, but they're awful for TF stuff online. I've pre-ordered from them in the past, only to see it go a couple of months past the due date and not still have the stock in. When you email them all they say is "We're waiting on the supplier", over and over again ad infinitum. Tedious. I don't bother with them unless it's in stock.

Got the guy on the left today.

This is why MP-01 is better than MP-10.

Ello all,
nothing much to report here. Glad to see the Gen Voyagers are appearing everywhere. Shame I don't need any lol.

Was gutted to find the instruction booklet and bag from my MP Bee on the floor and it had been trodden on... CRUSHING THE AMAZON MASK

It's salvagable and still fits on but I was not best pleased.

Just got back from Dubai. Their selection of TF's in stores was a little pants. All TF4 stuff and nothing overly exciting there either. Not sure what I was expecting.

However, in a book store in the Mall of Dubai - which is just ridiculous in size - they had a comic section. This comic section was about the size of a full on large comic store and had a massive selection of toys and model kits. In among it all they had a relatively small import TF section which had the TF4 Dual model kit Prime (which is stunning) some SD Prime Model Kit, A few Takara Generations (Brainstorm and Wingblade), MP Star Sabre, a Takara Metroplex and MP Exhaust.

I really nearly bought Exhaust - he was about £65 so infinitely cheaper than getting him online (Cheapest I've seen was £70 then about £30 postage) but it was my last day and funds were short. I was gutted.

Anyway, I'm now completely fundless so am headed to ebay to sell loads of stuff!

Have a load of G1 weapons and stuff going up, a ton of Beast Wars and a load of unopened Prime stuff if anyone is interested. I'll post links when I have done the listings but feel free to PM if you are after anything.

Cheers!

Finally found a SkyByte at B&M, I don't think I've ever searched so much for a figure!

TRU look like they're gearing up for the Voyagers, saw Blaster, Sandstorm and Roadbuster, but they had a couple of price tags on the shelf so I assume they'll get more.

I PMd you the other day, it doesn't seem to have sent. Anyway, B&M Pentwyn had Rhinox, Whirl, Dinofire Grimlock and the big Devastator+Ironhide Kre O set.

@Oddimus - I'm about to go digging down the back of the sofa!

Ah, no worries. I did check out the Newport branch but it had been decimated apart from a Roadbuster. It's like a mecca of budget shops that place! Are there any voyagers you're looking out for?

It's a Friday, the sun is shining and I've got me a robot shark!

Popped into Bagatelle Toys in Henley the other day as I happened to be passing through.
All they had TF-wise was a couple of AOE 1-steps or similar, but it was nice to see an independent toy shop still going regardless

I've used Order66 in the past a few times, and never had a problem with them.
They are based in Northern Ireland, with a stall set up in Fairhill shopping centre in Ballymena. I think I heard something about them possibly renting a unit.

Maybe it's because asda are one of the six retailers shown as places combiner wars are available on the hasbro uk websit people think it's common knowledge but you're right know one has mentioned it yet.

The other five are argos,tesco,Smyths toys
, the entertainer and very.Co.UK.

Thanks, I've seen them online at asda but not instore yet. I will have a look tomorrow

My Sainsbo's had the same offer with CW too. Why did this make me tempted to buy a second set? Wait... I can display combined AND single bots!!!! (I thinnk I need help.. no new TF's makes me want to buy multiples.)

Picked up Rid prime for my Prime Shelf... Left Drift because... I dunno really - maybe because I have yet to reorganise to allow room for the 4 RiD figures I already have.. Oh wait I also bought the Hulkbuster Lego set.

Update: Went back and got Drift.

Anyone know of anywhere to get a MP Magnus for a reasonable amount that might actually have him in stock? Otherwise I'm off to ebay! lol

Update 2:

Scrap that on the MP Ultra Magnus, just ordered him from TF Express.

Leeds Killingbeck B&M has 2 Roadbusters, a skyebyte and a Springer for anyone still looking . First generations stuff they've had in weeks.My local asda had the wave 1 combiner wars stuff for a couple of weeks but now have none. I didn't post it before as I thought it was old news for some reason! 8-}

Other than that nothing of note to report. I am hoping wave 2 of combiner wars ties in with my payday! I need Motormaster, Breakdown and Dead End in my life...
