Nice to know Smyths is getting the velocity line much like they did Netflix.

Guessing with them selling voyagers at leaders it's only natural for deluxes to be sold at voyager :/

Not that disheartening as there isnt that many must haves for me in Legacy so far. Not so sure there is any point me picking up twincast when I didnt pick up wfc soundblaster/New soundwave

Cosmos is probably going to be smaller than warpath at that price too.

Any way you can get the barcode for Black Convoy and twincast?

Yeah, I can get those on Tuesday when I'm next in work

Motormaster now showing on Smyths with pictures.

This puts him at around £200 for a full Menasor and hoping size wise he will work with Devastator and Predaking.

Apologies for the late update here but work has been a bit busy so I've been unable to check these but here they are:
Black Convoy: 5010994131623
Twincast: 5010994114435

No worries, and thanks!

Tk max is still rotating their ten £10 Kingdom arcee between boys and girls ailses in hopes they will sell

On the next deliveries Smyths will be receiving their stock of Nightprowler, Buzzsaw and Sandstorm as part of the legacy repaints that are being released. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stock levels will be as it says we're receiving a display with the stock already in. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that we are getting a display as sometimes Smyths buys displays as they're the only way to get stock and then split the stock at warehouses/stores. These will also cost slightly higher than the standard deluxes at £22.99 each

Sparkless seeker pack is now down to £20 at Smyths along with the Nemesis Prime box down to £30.

Picked up the former to fill out my G1 jets and may grab a Nemesis Prime if I can find one now.

Kickback, Skids and Laser Prime are now all in stock for home delivery at Smyths. Stores should be receiving stock on their next deliveries with about 8 of each deluxe and 4 of Prime. The rest of wave 1 is seemingly delayed until June for the time being

Shelf warmer is now £6 at TK Max (Kingdom Arcee)

Indemands got some siege omega supreme and at the price smyths was last selling them at £130

One of those figures where I didn't want it until it was unavailable and now that it is available again I'm not wanting it. It just pales compared to the g1 toy despite its size but it might be the best version to go with MPs for a long while.

Managed to get Dragstrip for £19.99 and Blitzwing for £51.99 from Forbidden Planet as given up waiting for Smyths to get their act together over stock.

Nothing else really of note out there beyond Arcee at £6 in TKMaxx. I can see this hurting the studio series release of the toy as demand just doesn't seem to be there for Arcee.

I think there is demand, but only for good figures, arcee may as well been a R.E.D figure who turned into a car via a backpack you folded over her. In this fact, Studio Series is the better toy

Smyths shelf space for TFs is dwindling though, looking how their Motu and Power Rangers space have basically gone to nothing it seems TFs are due the same fate

It's largely due to Hasbro's poor distribution. We do want to have the stock out but with how little stock Hasbro are sending out, it's resulting in most stores condensing things down for higher priority lines. My manager just today was asking me if there was going to be any new transformers soon as he wanted to reduce the space it takes up to extend other lines. For those who are still waiting for the rest of Legacy Wave 1, they should arrive some time this month (Blitzwing will be next month) and Wave 2 is still expected to arrive in July. It all depends on Hasbro though.
I don't expect TF to follow MotU and PR though. Both those lines just never sold that well whereas TF is consistently on of the highest selling brands Smyths stocks. It's only really beaten by Pokemon TCG and a few of the girls collectables.

Interesting, I've often wondered how tf's as a whole sold in the UK

I was thinking more your average parent or Granny, seeing the same basic toy in a different box at TKMaxx. They will not identify the difference between a large box toy in the £30 price range to a similar size box at £6 elsewhere unless put side by side and reading the packaging.

Indemands got the legacy 4 pack arriving Friday, they don't have pictures until they get it but it shouldn't be long to see if goldbug is really the stink bug of the four (ransack, toy Scorponok, parasite).

Looks like gi joe storm shadow wave is dropping same time tho so I might have to hold off on the transformers.

I'd expect the shattered glass goldbug just coloured normally.

Same

Indemands got the worlds collide four pack in, sadly nowhere near the sub $40 sale price in the states at £90. Selling off some of the figures might offset the prices paid though.
