Not sure if this will help anyone or not but Toy Town in Leeds (not sure if the shop is nationwide) has the combiner wars with comics sunstreaker, prowl, iron hide and mirage for £9.99 Each. Picked some up in case I ever get around to completing Magnaboss.

This definitely falls in the not helpful at all category, but I found it interesting. Sightseeing in London and stopped by Harrods. They had quit a selection of TFs. TR Megs, Hot Rod, Gnaw, soundwave, among others. Damn expensive, but nice selection.

I haven't been to London in years, and even then I don't think I actually bought anything in London -apart from the Sweeney Todd Novel from a bookshop on fleet street

. Not sure what/where the speciality shops are but the main shops like toysrus/smyths are lacking any new titans returns figures and shelf space is getting smaller due to the Bay tat/live action stuff but even that is pretty sparse.
they will have a forbidden planet in London (Leeds one never ever has transformers) but expect prices to be near Harrods anyways knowing them

Not technically a sighting, but I found listings for Leader Dragonstorm and some All Spark Tech stuff on Smyths website.

News Credits: 19 · Mon Jul 03, 2017 6:20 pm

They've also got titans return overlord listed at £46 (seems a good price compared to elsewhere) and blitzwing/octane for titans return due august but as they delisted TR sky shadow and TR broadside after they were on the website for months and never instore, I wouldn't be betting on them stocking anything until it's purchasable.
I found a few six shots in Leeds forbidden Planet (I was wrong o.O) at £55 which I've begrudgingly paid as it was more than i got the g1 for and the figure doesn't technically have a gun mode :9 (feels too flimsy holding it by the wings and its not on the instructions unless you count a weird upside down version of it for the headmaster to sit in).

Fellow UK Seibertronians blackeyedprime and Rodimus277 have taken a look at the Smyths website - a regular source of Transformers news for us - and spotted some new listings for soon to be released figures!

Though not available for delivery yet, and probably only shortly arriving in actual stock, these include Titans Return Octane and Blitzwing, plus a brief glimpse of Overlord at the time of writing (but not fast enough to include a screenshot, sorry!), and a number of Transformers: The Last Knight figures, such as Voyagers Nitro and Scorn, Leader Dragonstorm, and the AllSpark Tech line's Optimus, Hound, Barricade, and Bumblebee - and a fair few price reductions on Voyagers, Deluxes and more from the Premier Edition line! Check them out here.

The Leaders are way too expensive but at least their voyagers and deluxes are on sale at at normal price.

Funny I keep seeing the first Titans Return Scattershot for £10 at lots of shops. They just can't seem to shift that thing now.

Is this stock actually ever going to arrive in stores or just another phantom listing?

Well this turned up yesterday.

Along with Trypticon, Misfire, Windblade,and a few others.

News Credits: 19 · Sat Jul 08, 2017 6:06 am

Spotted Titans Returns Trypticon at Smyth's Toys, Glasgow Fort, Easterhouse, Glasgow, Scotland(didn't bother getting him as preordered the Takara one from Kapow), they also still have a few Computrons left as well

the downside is.....no sign of any TLK TTC Wave 2's anywhere(in Glasgow/Ayrshire, Scotland) bah!!!! :-x

News Credits: 191 · Sat Jul 08, 2017 4:03 pm

Kapow's updated its sales section with some damn good additions.

CW Computron and Liokaiser for £70 each:-

Also, while they've only got up to Wave 3 of Titans Return; TRU apparently does have Trypticon.

20 quid for TWO voyagers is a hell of a good deal especially when one voyager is usually about £24 on it's own. If I wasn't fed up with Titans Return and focussing mainly on TLK I'd go for that. I wonder if I could get away with using Alpha Trion as a knight...

And.. hm Scrounge... if i bought that computron and kept scrounge would i get my £70 back in selling off the technobots i wonder...

Exactly, man! It's just too good. They're also selling Astrotrain singularly for £11 and his Sentinel (p)re-deco for £15. If I was able to I'd so jump on said Sentinel...

Can't say I like that Sentinel much (hurts my eyes to even look at it, somehow it has a bland design with an overly bright colour scheme at the same time)

Oh Alpha Trion is £10.99 by itself too! Tempted! Could paint him silver and call him Lionheart or something regal.

CW Onslaught is only £10 and i was tempted even just for nostalgia cos I had Bruticus as a kid and often carried Onslaught and Brawl with me for some reason.

That platinum autobot heroes five pack is just £70. Used to see that for about £200. And Toys R Us knocked it down to £130 so 70 is by far cheapest I've seen it here. Shame I'm not looking for it anymore. But yeah Kapow is very good. Despite some trouble with my previous order (TLK Voyager Megatron arrived fast and perfect way before a lot of people elsewhere had got him, but the Titans Legend Bumblebee which was meant to come in that order...well that was a different story and took a couple weeks to resolve)

ugh i've spent too much recently. i'm longterm unemployed, i can't be buying toys all the time. :O

(they should really ditch that & bring back JSA)

News Credits: 19 · Mon Jul 10, 2017 2:34 pm

JSA still exists for almost a year more for some, depending on peoples situations. I got made redundant recently, new job lined up so I won't be on JSA for much longer tho. That's how I was justifying trypticon but local Smyths didnt have it in (£5 off £25+ spend ends tomorrow). might try another Smyths tomorrow or take it as a sign that I should pick up Fanstoys Sludge from Kapow to complete my dinobots and wait and see if Trypticon gets reduced down the line (if it doesnt get recalled from leg breakages if it really as bad as the early review video said).
On a side note they no longer have Overlord listed on their website too

News Credits: 19 · Wed Jul 12, 2017 9:49 am

Asda (Pudsey) has TR Perceptor, TR Krok, TR Kup, TR Quake deluxes in so it could be worth checking your locals if you are after them £18.99 (Krok doesnt have a loose leg like the orig mould but his tail weapon post snapped on mine on first transformation/pulling out of hand). might pick TR Kup up at some point for the toy deco but at those prices I might as well go for the Takara versions instead.

News Credits: 19 · Thu Jul 13, 2017 7:52 am

Bleh. Went TLK hunting in Cambridge. Argos is still only place that has Wave 2 Deluxes but they're £24.99. Toys R Us still just has Wave 1 TLK and wave 3 Titans both with price reductions but nothing I needed.

TK Maxx has Titans Soundwave for £19.99 down from about £49.99. I passed on it cos it's way too large, ugly, blocky and dorky but someone else might like it.

B&M have Leader Starscream and Skywarp for £24.99 each if yer still looking for those. They used to retail for about £49.99 too.

DSC_0003 (34).jpg

I came home empty handed. EMPTY HANDS! karate!

I was hoping for a cheap Steelbane to tighten up or a tiny Sqweeks but there's no wave 2 tiny turbos yet. Only 'new' thing I saw was Toys R Us had the radio control Sqweeks but that's too much monies for me.

Aw man, wish I would find such bargains here... They still sell shelfwarmers from C.W. for the original price here >:( shops here have NO clue.

Got my soundwave from Kapow for £24,99 which I thought was supercheap lol. *sigh*

Do B&M ship to the Netherlands?

PS: did you know B&M is selling Combiner Wars KO's?? lol:

I wonder if they combine well xD

That red ambulance would make a great conversion for a better Ironhide van instead of the pickup he is now... Hmmmm. I'd actually like to get my hands on this...

The Kapow price is very good considering it's easily in stock whereas TK Maxx where I spotted this one hardly ever have Transformers in at all and it's very much a rare thing to ever see and once it's gone it's gone.

I've seen these B&M KOs in stock and they are BIG! Possibly leader or at least a chunk bigger than voyager and massively upscaled from the official deluxes. I've not seen a torso bot for them though but that thing would have to be gigantic. But yes these won't fit any official CW products. Also of which they do stock the real deluxes (from the Sky Reign wave so Wheeljack and such) for £9.99

yeah they had quite a few Broadsides for £18.49 in Cambridge Toys R Us last week. I didn't buy any. They seemed to be trying to shift a lot of TR Voyagers

News Credits: 191 · Sat Jul 22, 2017 7:15 am

£18.50 ain't a bad price for a Voyager. Then again it doesn't seem too amazing to me since I got another TR Voyager for £15 which shoooould be arriving today
