I'm pretty sure the only Dragonstorm that Smyths have had shelfwarming for time immemorial is the rubbish 1-step changer thingy:

The ones near me have the leader figure in, they've had them for ages as well as the Megatron from AoE.No doubt they still have that giant 1 step thing lurking around.

If we are lucky, Smyths is doing £6 off £50 spend, £12 off £100 spend from tomorrow that lasts until the 27th and Omega is expected 24th to 31st... Fingers crossed.

Still need to pick Overlord up but not sure if there is anything else I'd want at the mo.

Its actually live right now and, unlike the last voucher, you are able to use it for click and collect

Typical, just blew £90 in Tamworth

Ok by me though as none of the Tamworth haul have been available in Milton Keynes aside from one Barricade which some fella sent a poor member of staff rummaging around the top shelf for on a sunday morning

Haha I caved and got barricade when I picked six gun up after they arrived when the transformers offer ran out. Impactors tempting but I'm wanting the powerdasher pack and dont feel the different head/symbol is worth having him twice, I'll just stick some autobot symbols on him.

Thanks for the info CyclonusG1, nice to know it works for click and collect

Incredibly random, 1x siege starscreaam (latest one with enblem fix if the squished up arms are anything to go by) in entertainer, wonder if they will stock one random figure from earth rise :p

Some smyths have them in store so if ya get the chan e and voucher it for £128. Doubt the ones near me will have them until after the voucher runs out.

Omega was £139.99 in Forbidden Planet.

On another note, Smyths now has internal listings for Earthrise voyagers. This doesn't necessarily mean that we will get them--see siege wave 2 deluxes--but it does at least mean the buyers are trying to get ahold of stock. Personally, I don't see why they won't be able to get them so keep an eye out on the website for any public listings.

So Crosshairs and Spinister now have public listings on the Smyths website, listing them for arrival between the 14 & 21 of this month. Also a reminder that Astrotrain should be making his arrival within the next week.

Omega Supremes a bit cheaper at Amazon for the mo £129

Think I'm being good for the moment...

One weird thing I have noticed is the figures that end up shelfwarming.

Shockwave, Ultra Magnus and Jetfire are all available in large numbers at every Smyths store and have been for some time, yet the more expensive Omega Supreme who is available in smaller numbers has flown off the shelves.

Very hard to predict what will move and what will sit around it seems.

Value for money may be a factor with those three, Ultra magnus and shockwave aint worth £46 and Jetfires not a £77 toy by any stretch. Where as Omaga being £140 compared to previous titan releases of £150 is already a bit lower priced.

Localities will differ too as not many Ultra Magnus near me, whilst Galaxy Prime is shelf warming (recently reduced to £42 but I dunno if that is because it has two previous cybertron convoys that were better toys imho and kids probably still have a cybertron toy lying around from a sibling or car boot).

Omega Supreme is back in stock on Smyths website for order but I've tried 4 different cards and each one is "Sorry, there has been a problem with your card. Please contact customer services"

Called the useless customer services line that tells me it is a problem with the bank (all 4 of them) suspect they have no stock to actually deliver but if anyone else can grab one then knock yourself out.

Just buy him from Amazon UK ?

I did in the end and OMG delivery was not pleasant, Amazon just gave me a time of between 7am and 10pm with no clue as to when. Only about an hour before delivery did the website and tracking come back with a 1 hour slot.

Not sure if I'm being a diva or not wanting a delivery service with a rough estimate less than 15 hours?
