It's a steal for that price, I'd get a 2nd one if I saw it for that.

I did see jetfire in the Stockton B&M yesterday but there was no price sticker anywhere for him and it looked like he had just been shoved in.

Aye....If it's anything like the other Generations figures...hopefully & eventually other stores like TRU, Smyths & The Entertainer will be getting him in too.

So.....we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that is the case.

Checked my local b&m stores and found squat. The search continues...

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but Hotspot and Cyclonus are on the Toys R Us website now

Now the wait for Devastator...if we ever see him on these shores that is.

There are pictures of motormaster and air raid in the new argos catalogue out today. Could we actually get combiner wars wave 2 after all?

I tried to upload a pic but the file is too large apparently. Damn my awesome camera phone!

Oh WOW....let's hope, any idea of a release date for those in Argos? + as well as Defensor....any other noteworthy new TF's that Argos are getting in? + if the new catalogue is out today....shouldn't those new figs also be on their website?

Ok....just checked the website....the only new TF's of interest on there just now are the RID minicon deployers...Drift & Fracture, as well as the mega Optimus Prime(Smyths Toys have those on their website too), no sign of Motormaster & Air Raid on there yet(even though they seem to be in the catalogue itself).

Jetfire is £29.99 in the Stockton b&m but they did get another FoC Blaster and two Sandstorms in.

Ok....This whole Argos thing.....I've checked the catalogue in store near me, they have Motormaster & Air Raid in the catalogue right enough.. although Air Raid is pictured with Alpha Bravo...so i typed the numbers into the checker.....& it only came back as 1 of everything! now....If it came back of more than 1 of everything....I may have stood a chance of getting Air Raid....but odds are they would've just came out with one of the Wave 1 deluxes. Same goes for the Voyagers! they would've just pulled out the Wave 1's. here's the funny thing.....even though people have been doing a customer viewing in Argos recently across the country....& they've been coming up with Hot Spot & Cyclonus.....no sign of pictures of those Wave 3' s in the catalogue at all, so it looks like it continues to be a customer viewing in order to get those from Argos.

So....the obvious moral of the story is.....the greater the number of deluxes & Voyagers they have in(obviously using the in store checker) the greater chances of getting Wave 2 & 3 figures.

It was my birthday just over a week ago and the missus gave me £30 worth of Amazon vouchers which was very understanding of her as she knows oh so well about my ever growing Wants List of stuff!
Got round to ordering a few days ago and my stuff arrived yesterday!

Bought a CW Rook who looks really nice and also what used to be known as a 'prestige' edition back in the day (I think?) of Shame:Redemption Bk3 by one of my all-time favourite artists John Bolton, whos the don at painting absolutely beautiful scantily clad ladies, monsters and vampires!

Thank you wifey!

I popped into Argos on my way home from work also yesterday and asked them to pull whatever different versions they had got of the 'Transformers Generations Deluxe' and 'Voyager' figures listed in the new laminated book of dreams.

Hello CW Streetwise!! :grin:

As mentioned up thread, some of the Argos store only seem to have '1 in stock' which seems a little odd. :-?

Its worth noting that Argos have now started "inserting" a mini store within Homebase stores as they are part of the same group, so keep your optics tuned!

So I found hot rod and warpath in the asda living store in teesside park, checked the toys r us and I find...nothing. that stock is stagnating now

So i really need to get my arse in gear and start thinning out, well pretty much most of my various collections of things so I can scale back from taking two rooms in the house down to just one!

I will get around to doing a proper update on my sales thread elsewhere in the site but wanted to give you UK folks the heads up first.

Whilst there are quite a few Transformers to put up for sale or trade, I also have a few non-Transformers related stuff which need a good home, also willing to go trade too...

Sony Playstation 3 Move with game, eye-cam, controller and more accessories, boxed in near mint condition.

Numark Total Control MP3 DJ Controller for aspiring bedroom DJs, boxed in near mint condition.

Nokia N73 Music Edition N-series mobile phone, unlocked, used but works perfectly well as I remember.

Polaroid Supercolor SE 635 with carry case and original instructions - A retro classic! UNTESTED

Chinon CP-9AF Multi-Program SLR camera with additional Chinon macro zoom lens, vivitar 2000 clip on electronic flash and carry strap - A retro classic! UNTESTED

A bundle of 10x 1GB PC SDRAM memory sticks from various Windows based desktop computers - matched pairs, ddr, ddr2, 333mhz, 400mhz, Crucial, Hypertec, Rendition, unbranded - ALL UNTESTED!

I know we are posting on a Transformers fansite and I have more to add to my TF sales thread but as these are something a bit different, thought i could throw them in this thread for my UK homies who may have other interests outside of plastic robots!

PM me!

Depending on how credible this is......from TFW2005 UK Sightings page......Argos have some explaining to do!

Had my mate at the Wimbledon Argos check for MM and any evidence of Wave 2...........computer (and He) say no.

Looks like calling it right on a pure dick move.

Since Hasbro UK specifically commented on the matter, for a change. I don't believe there's any W2 stock for them to offer.

News Credits: 6188 · Mon Jul 20, 2015 5:27 am

Yeah, that was my thinking. It wasn't TRU saying they'd have none, but Hasbro directly.
Sigh. Oh well.

We could see everything, even AOE Galvatron, through grey-import. Motormaster will be in the next(?) wave and the deluxes were released with and without comics. We should be used to this game by now, but we don't have to like - or even know - the rules.
