Also from TFW2005....Bristol seems to be the place to go to get Thrilling 30 Leader Class Jetfire(unless you order him online that is).

Damn it I was in Manchester last week

(Not to say that he'd have even been there at that time)

Still, if it is true, hopefully any of the Argos's in Warrington will start to get him in, chances are good seeing as there are 2.5 stores (one of them is inside of Homebase) Though the voyager Combiner Wars aren't even on Argos's website, or if they are I can't find them, found Deluxe (has a photo of Combiner Wars Optimus)

I know they do sell the Voyagers as I bought RID Drift from Argos not long ago and when I searched for Transformers on their touch screen system the voyagers appeared.

Any thoughts?

Has to be Optimus. The pic is him combined with other limbs (from the Hasbro scary child stock pics files) which some of the other Limb bots have on the same page. The price is really good though. Shame I have him.

Thanks Oddimus, I just needed one person to go with my line of thinking

Yup it's prime, not bad for under £14

£30!? Yikes that's a bit much isn't it? Never heard Argos charging extra.

So Kapow just sent me a shipping notice on my wave 2 CW Deluxes, so I should be seeing them by the end of the week. Can't wait to finish my Superion. While the Stunticons will be going on Galvatronus until I get Motor Master.

Just picked up RID warrior Sideswipe from Sainsbury's for £14.99. They also had Jazz.

Wed Jun 24, 2015 4:57 am

Received my CW Air Raid this morning from Amazon.com. Can't wait to get him home and combined into Superion!

My generations Rat Trap is getting delivered today

First acquisition of the new Axalon crew.

Any word on anyone seeing any Rhinoxes (Rhinoxi? Rhinox? Rhinoxs?) about yet?

Me too!

Finally Superion can be formed without the 'help' of Alpha Bravo or Dragstrip!

I also picked up a set of Nonnef Productions hip ratchets and solid antennae to be installed during the combination.

Just need to find some time to get them all unpacked, photographed, transformed, photographed some more, install upgrades, more photos then combine to form Superion!

News Credits: 1350 · Thu Jun 25, 2015 7:32 am

Is there something wrong with Superion's hips?

Smyths now have the Deluxe Protectobots listed on their website with a release date between 29th June to 6th July. (Hotspot is still awaiting arrival with a release date listed from 23rd to 30th June)

My Smyths has a box of unopened W1 on the top shelf plus plenty on the pegs so don't think I'm going to see them there anytime soon, luckily though, I just found W3 at Tesco!

As most of you are aware by now....only certain Argos seem to be carrying Hot Spot. ...& only on an off the shelf basis!(ie...it's not been added into the in store catalogues! Which is weird as it's a CATALOGUE STORE! and you'd half expect it to at least be in the catalogue itself) while other Argos stores(mine included) have failed to materialise this sought after figure! & we can but hope...when the new catalogue comes out....that it'll have ALL of the Protectobots in....& maybe even including Cyclonus! we'll have to wait & see! + no doubt before then.....Smyths Toys will have Hot Spot & Cyclonus in.

I also noticed that The Entertainer have both Warrior Class Jazz and Sideswipe in....http://www.thetoyshop.com/Transformers/ ... formers?q=

Had a look in all 3 Argos's in Warrington over the last couple of days, Argos in Birchwood had only 1 Silverbolt left, Cockhedge centre had 1 Optimus left and the mini Argos in the Homebase store on the Riverside retail park didn't even have the voyagers on their system.

I popped into Tesco superstore in Warrington and they've severely reduced their Transformers stock

only RID legion figures and one step figures, as well as the stupid hero mashers stuff, no Warrior Class and no Combiner Wars stuff whatsoever. Did see legion Fix-it and Underbite, almost bought Fix-it but not too interested in the RID line too much. I have Steeljaw, he's decent enough, got Drift he was alright and I bought Jazz but wish I hadn't wasted the £15, he's a decent enough toy I just didn't need him but threw away the packaging/receipt already.

Both the B&M stores in the town centre have stopped stocking the thrilling 30's voyagers, seems they sold through their stock and never got any more in :/

The Entertainer did have Sky Byte, Roadbuster, Blitzwing and Blaster, all of whom I own or have no interest in. Still really want a Rhinox but I can't afford going on expensive adventures to say St. Helens or Chester just on a hunch that they may of once had them in only to get their and be dissapointed, I look forward to when I finally pass my test and can drive myself to such destinations and not have to rely on stupid expensive public transport!!!!! (Rant over)

Just finally got around to getting myself a Silverbolt, I'm actually incredibly behind on combiner wars haha
If anyone else is still after one, Kapow has them going for £15

I still need to aquire Slingshot, but finding him for a reasonable sum is proving awkward.

Rhinox Fans!

If you're looking for him without *too* much wallet pain,

He's currently up on Amazon for £19.99
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C ... _pd_nS_ttl

It's not as good as the B&M rates, but you can probably get free shipping with Prime. I'll probably end up picking myself one up from here once payday rears it's beautiful head.

I finally got Combiner Wars Deluxe Wave 2 Sadly no Motor Master yet so I have to Combine them with Galvatronus but they look good on Him. Deadend is my Favourite then Offraoad Breakdown can be a pain to get everything tabbed together for Vehicle mode. I am also happy to of completed Superion but Mr Bravo is still a Member of the Team

That's because alpha bravo is awesome B)

The Entertainer in Westfield Stratford had Wave 3 Deluxes. No Voyagers sadly.

I'm torn on keeping mt FP pre-order for Wave 2 (which will probably never materialize). I really want them, but I'm not sure if my patience will hold out to July 30th (maybe!)

News Credits: 1350 · Sat Jun 27, 2015 11:38 am

So b&m Stockton had a refresh of their voyagers, they had blaster, springer, skye byte, road buster and Rhinox, teesside park toy's r us om the other hand had nothing, only Dragstrip from the CW deluxe, Windcharger from the legends and no voyagers whatsoever
