Transformers deployers £6.25 in my local asda, picked up overload and backtrack as it would have been rude not to at that price. Legends were £1.25 each. No warriors to be seen.

Heh, I actively avoided Asda this weekend... curses!

Sainsbos in Crayford and Gravesend are pretty good with CW stuff, wave 4 though...

In other news (well news for me) I picked up MP Starsbre from Amazon UK for £109, which is about the cheapest I have seen him anywhere. Really lovely figure and bigger than I thought. so big in fact he doesn't fit on my MP shelf!

granted not official TF's but spotted Robo Revolution Leader Class Drikold & Rumble Thunder 2 pack in B&M today! haven't seen those in previously, so they must be new in

Still no sign of Warrior Fracture at either the Adsa off the A127 or Rayleigh branches. I did, however, pick up Onslaught from the Rayleigh branch of Smyths. They have plenty of him in stock!

I'm guessing this is one of those "quiet periods"...

Shhhh

Wed Mar 16, 2016 6:07 pm

Since we're in this quiet period. I'd just like to point out how awesome Kapow Toys are, they're so keen to sort out mistakes and go the extra mile. I bought my first 3rd Party item off them in late feb, Toyworld Infinitor for £53 shipped there abouts, but after a few days there was no shipping notification, I emailed them and almost instantly got a reply explaining there had been an error so they'd ship him out to me 24 hour tracked when I only payed for the basic delivery. Even more recently, I purchased a Chromia off them only to receive an email the next day explaining that she was actually out of stock and the site had not been updated, they offered to send me the Takara Legends version though at no extra cost which I thought was amazing, a figure that goes for easily twice if not three times the price of the Hasbro version. In hand she is lovely, and though I don't have the more comic accurate version I originally wanted, I actually kind of prefer Takara's more vibrant and interesting colour scheme.

Anyway sorry for that rant (not really a rant, more like praise) back on topic, has anybody spotted Onslaught in the North West, particularly near the Warrington Area? I've checked Sainsburys a number of times with no luck. Popped into Liverpool today, nothing of interest that hasn't been seen before. Forbidden Planet now only has the Protectobots or the 84 cars in stock pretty much, was hoping for either Vortex or Blast Off.

Do people reckon we'll see them over here in regular retail, kind of feels like the time for them to show up has passed?

News Credits: 19 · Wed Mar 16, 2016 8:13 pm

infinitor should be arriving any day now! i also ordered him, but from Ebay!

as for Wave 5 CW deluxes? i think they've passed! the same way that Wave 2 did! now.....that's not to say we won't be getting Wave 6(Sky Lynx/Sky Reign) + Legends(Shockwave, Chopshop ect), i can still see those happening! but if you want Wave 5 deluxes....ordering those online is your best bet.

the weird thing is....that Wave 5 deluxes have already been spotted in a brick & mortar store....Forbidden Planet!(but NOT all FP's...coz the one in Glasgow never got those in.........& YES!!! i know those were imports).

Infinitor is awesome! Be careful though, some joints may be tight, all mine took was untightening some of the screws and that fixed that problem.

I'm still holding out hope for wave 5 with the fact that other European nations have been getting them recently. I picked up swindle on a whim from Kapow in January...and then a couple of days later went to Liverpool and Forbidden Planet had the whole team (Minus legends shockwave) they had Onslaught, the 4 deluxes, but I only picked up Brawl as he was a new mold, then I decided I wanted the whole team as I have 2/5 and now they vanished and sold out hahaha typical

I am interested in Wheeljack from wave 6 though so hope they turn up.

Finally got CW Devastator today. Had to bring him to work to combine because I didn't get chance to do t before I had to leave.

Thanks to my Mrs and the guys at Kapow for getting this lovely piece of plastic into my grubby mits. Not gonna say it's the best birthday present I have ever had... But it's close!

(and yes it is a hollow piece of plastic and the bot modes on the 'cons are wierdly articulated, but I am really happy to finally have it!)

News Credits: 2 · Sat Mar 19, 2016 12:45 pm

Kapow really are top notch guys. There's a reason I keep giving them my money. :BOWDOWN:

You'll be happy with Infinitor. Especially for that price! I just got the master sword kit for him today. Amazing how that changes up his posing from stoic gun wielder to zany posed sword swinger. Also got the perfect effect Deathstalker, to use as the headmaster upgrade for my cybertron dark scorpinok. And this thing is soooo adorably cute, I had to order the Black Zarak version of him from kapow to complement him.

Bugger! Forgot about CW Skylynx! I could have ordered him from kapow at the same time! Ah well, MP Ironhide will do nicely as well (I don't like ordering only 1 product from Kapow, unless it's a high cost item. That way the postage feels worth it).

Sat Mar 19, 2016 6:09 pm

On the topic of awesome Kapow, conveniently whilst on the hunt for an Onslaught I noticed he was reduced on their site to £20, with postage that makes £23.50, only 50p more than Sainsbury's, factoring in petrol, time, effort and disappointment it worked out cheaper so i ordered him last night! 3/5 of the way there!

Vortex is £15 on Masterforce UK's site but their postage is £4.50 I think, too expensive

I hope we see the wave 6 guys, but does anybody know when the Titans Return line is supposed to hit stateside, if it's anything like it was for Combiner Wars then hopefully we get them early again, just wondering when we may be likely to see them, I want to say around June? :lol:

It is with a heavy spark that I unsubscribe from this thread (though will not steer clear of it of course), as I have now moved back to Italian shores.

Keep up the disgruntlement, chaps.

Smyths have 3 for 2 on their website, including both RID and CW toys. There's nothing new, but good for those who have been holding off.

Curse you for making me aware of this sale just as this term's student loan starts to run dry! :lol:

Hopefully it'll carry on until I have a little more cash

It's a true shame to see the good doctor go- do be sure to visit us and laugh at our toy distribution! (Or praise us for it, I'm not sure what Italy's like in comparison :-P
