Here in South Wales it's Sainsbury. They're still £6.65 each right now.

There's still some Platinum Edition Supreme Starscreams left at TRU, Cambuslang, Glasgow! in case anyone local are looking for any

News Credits: 2 · Sat Aug 08, 2015 8:17 am

B&M Thurrock had Blitzwing and Sandstorm and a few Leader Jetfires yesterday (£12.99 and £29.99). First time I had actually seen Voyagers there.

Didn't pick anything up as I already have it all, was tempted by a second Jetfire, but can't really justify it.

My local Sainsburys had most of Wave 1 and 3 Legends in the other day. Annoyingly I already have them all. If anyone is after any let me know and I am happy to pick up while they are still £6.65

On a side note, the marvellous ScottyP did me a solid and picked me up CW Wave 2 stateside and posted it out to me

Got him to send them without packaging to cut down on costs, he sent them last Friday afternoon and they had arrived by Thursday so I am well made up!

Still need a BlackJack to complete my Menasor, have Rodimus playing proxy at the moment.

I guess now we are just in a holding pattern while we wait on Wave 4? Oh and Devastator...

Btw, Congrats Robotmel!

Anyone want MP Sunstorm?
TRU Norwich has at least SEVEN, though still at full £49.99 price.

I still kinda want him, but am loathed to pay even £50 for a figure I only kinda want...

When is Auto Assembly? I have totally lost track of time lately...

Bagged my CW warpath!

On a related note, anybody want to purchase a Deluxe Generations Warpath? Loose, Complete, No Instructions, Great condition. £25 or best offer?

I have a few other bits to sell, but as I'm currently unpacking after moving house it'll be a while before I get my bearings on what's going and what's staying.

ANYWAY

Liverpool One TRU has:

Hotspot, Cyclonus, Rodimus & Skywarp, Along with the rest of the wave 3 deluxes and legends, if anybody's looking.

Thank you Oddimus!

Nothing in the way of sightings to report from my neck of the woods unfortunately as I haven't been shopping recently, apart from online!

Hoping to get rid of the visiting family members by the weekend and get the house back to normal as I need to crack on with thinning out the man caves from two rooms down to one!
Lots of bits to go through and sell, just get a bit lazy when it comes to Ebay listings. As much as I enjoy buying via Ebay I find their listing tool quite tedious! :lol:

Youre not Ebay seller 'Binaltech' by any chance? :lol:

They are trying to flog a Deluxe Gen Warpath without a head and with a cut down missile for £25 but he does come with a Gen Impactor head! :HEADHURTS:

I feel you there!

I'm just going through a load of stuff myself - Transformers and non Transformers.

If anyone wants dibs I will post what I will be listing here before it goes up (the Transformers that is).

There will be a load of Beasts, a few odds and ends from various ranges and I am sorely tempted to put up my Alternators. Also I am thinking of completely getting rid of my Unicron Trilogy collection...

Unfortunately my various collections have out grown my toy room and my Unicron Trilogy lot are consigned to the loft...

To be fair, my Optimus Prime Shelf has spilled over and now takes up a fairly large chunk of space...

That's absolutely not me! Mine's in great condition, though his missile is slightly bendy due to the way he was shipped to me when I first got him. Nothing a hairdryer couldn't fix. Haven't listed him on ebay, but I did put him up on the UK Transformers Exchange facebook group, though my post got deleted because I didn't have photos to hand #-o

And once again congratulations!

Has anyone seen any of the fabled £6.65 wave three legends and a sainsburys in London? I've been to about five with no luck at all

News Credits: 11 · Sun Aug 16, 2015 10:02 am

I saw Underbite & Fixit in Tesco and (white) Sideswipe and Black Bumblebee in a Sainsburys - no idea what price they were though.

Toys R Us is officially useless they don't even sell Masterpieces in my closest one other than one damaged Sunstorm. Don't have the Supreme Starscream either, and none of the newer Power attackers either (like Galvatron) let alone the waves that came out in America they could imported themselves if they could be bothered to.

Toy hunting is plain soul destroying in bricks and mortar stores these days.

Here's the clear out sales thread I mentioned earlier.

Went to Liverpool on Monday. Forbidden Planet on Bold street had a cr*p ton of wave 3 Deluxes, all for a couple £ more than retail if I remember. They also had various legends class, Warpaths, Groove's, no Skywarps or Rodimus's, but I did manage to find one lonely Viper sat on a random peg away from the others. Wasn't even interested in getting him but seeing him there I thought why not, walked out with Groove and Viper

both pretty decent molds. They also had a limited selection of the thrilling 30's deluxes, looks like all their 10+ Chromia's got sold!

Toys R us L1 had all the wave 3 deluxes at normal retail, plus Hot Spots and Cyclonus aplenty. They did have Skywarp and Rodimus legends, as well as warpath and groove. In fact, this was the one and only time throughout combiner wars that I've seen an entire 'set' in one place, technically you could get the whole of Defensor in one fell swoop from there; Hot Spot, all 4 deluxes and groove.

Thank you Memphis and good luck to you both with your baby making activities!

The only sighting from me is a card from the Post Office telling me I have a package being held to ransom thanks to our wonderful Customs folk!

As I mentioned on a previous page, I have bought Voyager Seaspray and Deluxe Skids from fellow Seibertronian Super Megatron which have worked their way from sunny Canada to our fair shores of the United Kingdom.

I got a great deal from Super Megatron and it really didn't cross my mind that I would be hit with a Customs charge! :BANG_HEAD:

They will have to keep the shelf warm at Royal Mail until payday!

Cheers ears

I'm feeling similar dread as I have the ConeHead Seekers Elites United 3 Pack set on its way from China via Chunghwa Post

Last time I got something through from these chaps (oddly enough, the seekers aces set) it came with a customs charge and a bloody big hole right through the shipping crate and the back of the product box to boot, thankfully whatever pierced it came to rest presumably micrometers below Thundercracker's undercarriage, but I was still none-too pleased. :BOOM:

Custom charges on used toys? Utter maddness

Also why wasn't "sold as gift" ticked?

It's beyond me as to why those are only appearing in certain stores in specific parts of the country? & why they're not more widespread! as the Voyagers & even Leader Class Jetfire have appeared right across the country.

Speaking of which.....there's also this happening in Glasgow!.....http://filmandcomicconglasgow.com/

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend(personal matters to attend to) but maybe others on here from that region can! &/or guests reading this maybe also attending!

Coz y'never know.....there could be some Transformers stuff there!(granted it'll probably mostly be from the live action movies.....but who knows?).

Meanwhile.....the Comicon in Glasgow that certainly DOES have a lot of TF goodies(Takara CW Devastator, CW Ultra Magnus, Quickslinger, CW Wave 2...which obviously includes Air Raid! Wave 4, RID Takara Optimus Prime ect) is this one....http://www.mcmcomiccon.com/scotland/faq/#where
