Taunting me with the shiny G1 goodness!

It's the G1 I'm after so if you do make a visit and happen to see one I would appreciate a heads up.

Of course

I'm always happy to pick things up for people. I tend to pick up extras of some stuff, funds allowing, so I can share the goodies in a non profit nice person not scalper way

I don't suppose anyone could look out for a spare Springer at B&M? Still have yet to see him make an appearance in the Essex stores, would be nice to pick up the figure at that lower price point.

I don't know how you guys do it.

For about month now I've been enjoying the hobby of popping into stores in the search of goodies. Being a national courier driver i go past many and treat myself now and then.

I think in the last week I've been to Toys R Us in Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Doncaster, Scunthorpe, Leeds and lakeside, and three different Smyths stores, and a bunch of B & M's

Aside from Movie figures and the odd Silverbolt and Prime I've seen one Whirl and one Roadbuster from all those stores combined. Yet you guys post findings i can only dream of

Just to confirm, all those stores above have naff all, aside from what seems like hundreds of every Bumblebee mold going

I joined this forum to try and find when stuff is about. I had fun and frustration trying to track down CW wave 1 just before Christmas but was largely met by fail.

I have had some amazing luck with finds sometimes to counteract it. To be fair I wouldn't even have bothered with TRU on Sunday if I hadn't read Megs had been sighted on here.

UK TF Sightings forum ftw!

Sounds like something that Beast Wars Neo / II would have done... I cant recall one. But there were a few odd variations of Cyber Shark...

Actually a quick google search has revealed that there are none... There was a Beast Wars Character, but only in obscure convention comics. O.o

TRU Glasgow, Govan have both standard & Armada versions of CW Leader Class Megatron figures in! I got the Armada one...as I already have Tidal Wave to go with it, they also have the thrilling 30 Voyager Class Roadbuster in.

Deluxe Slingshot and Wildrider on Amazon for £30 (including postage)

by **TheGlynreaper** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 10:50 am

okay as promised I went transformers hunting today first up was b and m in Bolton where they had the thrilling 30 rhinox and whirl on the shelves so I grabbed both of them , I did ask an employee if they had others but she said they were the only ones
I also picked up there a construct bots dinofire grimlock which is on sale for £15 and for anybody that's interested the KREO Devastator Construction site set with a bonus buildable ironhide was on sale for £20 along with the KREO Batttle for Energon Optimus v Megatron set for £10 , but I already own both sets so....

I then stopped by toys r us in Bolton where they had quite a few of the 4 combiner wars legends class figures except for Bombshell which they only had 1 so I quickly nabbed him as he was the only one I was interested in , the only deluxe class CW figures there was 2 Drag Strips , a sole CW Silverbolt and Optimus Prime along with a Armada Megatron

the last stop was toys r us in warrington where there was a few CW Deluxes of Drag strip , alpha bravo , and skydive but no firefly to be seen , a leader class megatron and armada megatron was also in stock but £50 each does seem a bit too steep , they had quite a few of the legion class RID figures for £7 each but ill leave them for next time , the only thing I picked up there was a alpha bravo figure just to try a CW Figure out although im not too sure whether ill start collecting them or not as I still need to hunt for my SKY BYTE

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can anybody tell me where I can get Sky Byte for cheap I don't want to pay £30 plus for him

News Credits: 15 · by **Ravage XK** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 2:43 pm

A few on eBay for £25 if you can't find in a store.

Check your local TRU. I got mine for £12.49, which is a bit of a bargain for a Voyager.

Gutted man. I almost picked one of these up in B&M but they only had two and boxes were beaten the crap out of. I was going to get one next time but now I probably won't. Is it a unique part to that set?

well yes as they are only 4 in the set and they are the main ball joints for the arms and legs seriously the moment it snapped on it was terribly loose so it feels like pretty poopy weak plastic but its more annoying that the finished thing looked huge when looking at the parts
I might try and ask for a replacement at the same store tomorrow

oh well on a brighter note im going to be getting generations waspinator,sky byte and rattrap next week , thank you generations rhinox for being completely sturdy with no loose ends whatsoever along with a fun transformation that I didn't even need the instructions for and overall a great looking rhino figure with a fun weapon storage

Ha, and yet my Rhinox won't stand up because the hips are awful. They're like lightbulbs stuck in an idiot's mouth - they went in there - and I can get them out, but I can't guarantee there'll be no damage. Do we have a Limey version of the fabled Future Floor Polish over here? Superglue is not an option. :shock:

That. That right there.

That is my new favourite TF related quote.

Take a bow Mr. O. You win.

Chatham TRU update, 1 Gen Roadbuster and no CW Megatrons. I won't bother going again even though I have a £5 voucher, will cost me more than that in petrol.

Nice!

If only they had something there I wanted...

Oh btw - I noticed that the Roadbuster in TRU Chatham was back up to full price of 24:95 so that kinda sucks if they eventually do get more Gen Voyagers in.
