Wow! After ordering Hot Spot yesterday from Smyths, with a delivery of 2-4 days he turned up just this morning. Wasn't expecting him til possibly Friday.

Not opened him yet, but observing him in box he looks decent enough (as in no QC issues, such as two left shoulders etc.)

I saw Hotspot today!! I couldn't buy one though.

Toymaster at A1 comics in Trongate have Superion and Defensor set up and posed in their window but neither Voyager was on sale. They did have lots of all 4 W1 and 2 limbs and they had whichever wave the Groove and Rodimus legends toys are in, I'm away to console myself opening those two up in lieu of Hotspot.

Other TFs on sale were a scattered bunch of TFP Beast Hunters, AoE power battlers, some of the super deformed type things that I didn't even look at and some of the Rescue Squad stuff that actually transforms all on sale too!

The hunt continues...

Yes, I know, coz I reported that before, even though they have the only Hot Spot in the window, they have none in store!

Although the Groove & Rodimus are new

Hot spot is in stock right now on smyths toys.com @ £22.99 and cyclonus @ £16.99

Why does everything go on sale when I have no money!

Because we are starved until we binge on whatever appears.

This forum definitely needs a like button

Picked up Hot spot form Smyths in Charlton yesterday, also grabbed a spare Streetwise as he was £11.99 and I bust his gun on my other one

Kinda annoyed that all the other Voyagers are £16.99 though, including his wave mate Cyclonus. It's almost as if they knew everyone would want hotspot. From the looks of things he has a barcode stuck over his barcode, presumably so he scans at £22.99 rather than £16.99. Sneaky!

So this puts my CW tally at:

Voyagers:
Prime
Silverbolt
Motormaster
Hotspot

Limbs:
Alpha Bravo (x2)
Firefly
Skydive
Quickslinger

Dragstrip (x2)
Brake Neck

Streetwise (x2)
Rook
First aid
Blades

Which means, once I have Wave 2 (grrrr) I have enough spare limbs to make Galvatronus up out of spares lol

Not bad

So my wife came back home from shopping last night with a gift for me:

CW Sky Dive reduced down to £7.50 from asda, oddly they also had Drift from the RID line for the same price

Was passing Leeds today and went into the Large Toys R Us near the Showcase Cinema. They had quite a lot in.

If you are in the Area and want Hot Spot get down there as they had loads of him and funny enough only 1 CW Cyclonus. They had Groove and Rodimus but sadly no Limbs apart from the Wave 1 figures.

They also have a lot of the Generations toys doing the rounds so managed to pick up Brainstorm for £12.49 and the FOC Cassettes (Cybertron Disks) for £4.99 each. As usual they have loads of MP SunStorms and had some Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Shockwaves as well.

Hope this helps any of you needing a Hot Spot though - both him and Cyclonus were £22.99 each

Brainstorm is currently available online at toys r us also. Unbelievable quality for £12.49

Anyone know how much rodimus and groove are in Toys r us?

at a guess I'd say prob £9.99 but not 100% on that. Rodimus looks quite nice as well. Skywarp looks really nice - My problem with the Seekers though from Combiner Wars is that they are either too Big or too small scale with my other cons. I got Thundercracker Leader Class and sold him as he was just way too big sadly - The Legend Seekers look nice but are just too small.

I would love a full set of legends seekers, may just have to pass on leader seekers as my shelves just don't have the space

Reet! I'm off to try to find Hot Spot, Rodimus & Groove! hopefully this time I'll be more successful.....coz i've spent the last 2 weekends trying to look for Hot Spot without success....& I'm getting pretty fking tired of looking for this particular figure! anywho....I'll let you know how it turns out....as well as whatever else new I spot.

Smyths Toys, Glasgow....plenty of Cyclonus now....but no sign of Hot Spot or Rodimus, Groove ect......Smyths, Glasgow are fking useless

Ok....little bit of good news....A1 Toys Glasgow City Centre have Groove, Warpath, Skywarp & Rodimus in! I bagged myself a Rodimus, Groove & Skywarp, Sadly no Voyagers in! But the woman in the store said that their store at Braehead, Glasgow have some in! no idea WHAT Voyagers? could just be Optimus, Silverbolt and Cyclonus, but hopefully Hot Spot will be there.

Finally! A big thank you goes to Hamleys Glasgow, as they have Hot Spot in! granted it's a little bit dearer in there(£25 instead of the £22 something! that other stores are selling it for), they also have Cyclonus(same price) as well as the smaller
figures....Rodimus, Groove ect for £11.

Now...granted I had to pay a wee bit more for my Hot Spot...than the other places are selling him for...but I'm just glad to FINALLY find & get the figure, plus it saves me having to tear across the farthest reaches of Glasgow trying to find it.

TRU, Govan, Glasgow have the Legends figures in....Groove, Rodimus ect....but sadly no CW Voyagers....Hot Spot, Cyclonus....so it looks like if you live in or near or can even get to. ...Glasgow....your best bet at the moment for Hot Spot....is Hamleys.

Guess I got the last Hot Spot in Smyths in Glasgow yesterday then.

Probably could have, but don't have credit card to pay for it

Well I guess you did! but at least Hamleys have got plenty in

Where are all these effing Jetfires coming from all of a sudden?

As per....it'll be those particular stores that have it for a while....before they roll out elsewhere....If at all!!!

Oh man Jetfires. I hope the Deluxes turn up eventually. Perhaps my wish of seeing Metroplex turn up might not be as far fetched as I thought.

Interesting, I didn't actually look in b&m yesterday as I'd just been in there on Thursday, I didn't think much could change within a couple of days.

I would love it if the deluxes turned up as well.

I checked my local B&M this weekend just because I was in the area, and nothing.

My local sucks.

Apparently Leader Jetfire is turning up at b&m stores for £15!!! A lad from the transformer addicts Facebook page put on a pic of the one he picked up. Not sure where but keep your eyes peeled.

Well shoot, for that price, I'd pick one up.
