I'm staying in Ilford this evening so on my journey home I'm going to try Loughton and Luton Smyths to see if anything other than Perceptors and Dreadwinds are available.

Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:00 am

Smyths Loughton had barely anything.

Smyths Luton look to have Rippersnapper, Sludge and Snarl for wave 2 but nothing else.

So I went to symths today at portrack Lane, and discovered...that they had no potp deluxes at all. No spaces for them even, they had the studio series, and had starscream and grimlock but that's it. I was very disappointed, guess it's online only for me this week, if I can find deletes somewhere for a good price.

Those are some incredible deals on the platinum sets, did you guys get any? And if you have a pic, we could news it too, unless of course this is all old news for those prices.

Toys-UK

I saw
Snarl , Sludge & Rippersnapper

now have wave 2 for Power of the Primes

Already picked up the platinum sets from A1 way back when in a sale from lurking on another transformers site. I picked up a double of the cone heads to turn into unreleased g2's but the plastic hated the paint that I'd tried on Dirges wings.

This may be very store specific as it will just be leftovers, B&M has the Generations leaderclass Skywarp for £9.99

(Also Arrow figures for £7.99 each but they don't transform...)

Yeah my closest bm had that leader class sky warp in for ages at £24 but disappeared so now all their tf content is one step changers for tlk and 2015 rid.

Thank you for the offer! These are old news, however. A1 has been trying to shift those platinum sets for the better part of a year now (maybe 2? idk). They used to also have the one with G1 Blaster and Perceptor but I guess they finally liquidated those XD. I'm tempted by the Insecticons tbh.

News Credits: 1350 · Tue Jul 03, 2018 8:42 am

I'm tempted by the triple changers but I'm sworn off g1 toys (apart from pretenders). I'm trying to find potp toys for good prices, really want battletrap :/

Cyberverse toys have landed at Symths Toys Leicester, I would have posted while in store but there was a hideous unruly child screaming and seemingly following me around the store :HEADHURTS:

They have Shockwave, Optimus, Starscream and Bumblebee but no Megatron. Pics to follow if anyone is curious, I passed as basic design didn't do it enough for me to add to the collection.

News Credits: 1350 · Thu Jul 05, 2018 10:00 am

I'll be passing on them myself but thanks for the update nonetheless...knowing my luck my oldest will fall into cyberverse so I'll still have to buy them...though he seems more preoccupied by marvel currently

More G1 reissues up on Kapow,

4 minibot set £39
https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformer ... lebee.html

Starscream £40
https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformer ... cream.html

Devastator £95
https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformer ... t-set.html

Not sure which of the mini bots I already have and whilst it would be nice to get a guaranteed genuine devastator at some point. Wonder if there will be more reissues to come as it looks like hotrods started them up again.

News Credits: 1350 · Sat Jul 07, 2018 2:28 am

That £95 for devy seems a bit steep for what the toy actually is.

News Credits: 19 · Sat Jul 07, 2018 8:58 am

@ZeroWolf Yep it is.

Other sighting in stores, Picked up Tashimus Prime (Rodimus Unicronus) from the Entertainer £39.99
They had some skrapnels back in stock but I still couldnt find a Slash.

Still waiting to see if amazon UK ever have Nemesis Prime or if we have to get an amazon exclusive from Not Amazon

News Credits: 1350 · Sat Jul 07, 2018 12:30 pm

Every time I check the entertainer they only have movie stuff or on sale titan returns.

News Credits: 12 · Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:19 pm

Entertainer in Northampton have a new case of wave one POTP legend class. I took a Slash but they still had one left. (No pun intended).
I also got Rodimus Unicronus. But his travel bud was Optimis Prime. I thought wave 2 leaders were Opimal Optimus and RU?
Smiths Northampton had the new Cyberverse line but did not see Megs or Shockwave.

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:24 pm

Nah wave two is rodi unicron and op. Wave 3 is opop and op

Wondered who my local competition in the Grosvenor centre was.

Smyths Colchester have no less than 10 Dreadwinds but no other limbs.

They are doing a £5 off when you spend £20 so tempted to get Starscream at £18.99

News Credits: 1350 · Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:03 am

How long is that deal on for?

News Credits: 12 · Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:48 am

Went back to smiths (Northampton) today. They had Cyberverse Shockwave. Now I do.. but still no megs. Does not appear to be part of the wave one deluxes.

Yep love Entertainer in the Grovsnor centre.

So far there's is no Megatron toy in that class for this line. Any Megatron you might've have seen has been for a different size class
