New waves of Universe and TFA are reported to be out. That means TFA Sentinel Prime and Swoop, and Universe Ironhide, Bluestreak and Sideswipe are starting to show up at retail.

Another £50 I need to set aside for these. Wish I hadn't spent so much on booze....

not a TF realted sighting, but still cool, my local TRU had the new wave of movie Iron Man figures, including Stealth Armor (or War Machine as it should be known), Torpedo Armor, Satellite Armor and oddly Captain America armor (with shield), i picked up the War Machine one as its canon...kinda, it looks like it will be in the next movie...

Also picked up a Silver Surfer fig from the Fantastic 4 movie for 3 quid...which is cool...nothing major on the TF front, all the usual TFA and Uni stuff

After a successful hunt up in Middlesborough the other week I thought I'd try my luck again up that way looking for the Walmart deluxes. Non to be found at any of the Asdas on Teeside that I checked today. Might be able to hit York one night this week and probably Leeds next weekend. I'll find me them buggers yet.

I'm actually gonna post a sighting as well!

Quick run-down of what's available in Notts.

TRU:
Nothing much to report. No new Universe, in fact they only had a couple of Acidstorm and the first wave of Legends.

The Entertainer:
Got the Premium Blackout/Ironhide @ £12, but they are not with the rest of the TF's. They are nearer the front of the store, with the special offers.

Sainsbury's (Castle Boulevard store):
New Animated wave with Swoop and Sentinel Prime. Half price @ £4.99, picked up one of each. They had two left of each on display. StarWars TF's @ £6.49. No new legends here either.

I think we should cross Terminator with Stargate, by having Arnold play a Jaffa with cybernetic implants. He'll start off as a badguy but eventually turn good just before he gets killed. And his last words will be shouting to Colonel O'Neill: "Get to da Choppa Ai!

Leeds is an effing washout fella!
White Rose centre (sainsburys) - Nothing 'cept a stall selling Uni Prowl for £13.00
Leeds City Centre - Nothing, well Wollies we still flogging off old movie stuff next to bumper battlers! that's it apart from Ta da - movie legends megatron!
Asda Morley (just up the road from where we met up actually) - Movie repaint exclusives, a few ani deluxe and stocked to the gils with bumperbattlers. Best of the bunch if they restock the shelves soon.
TRU - nothing new since Galvatron hit these shores.

And Poundland have sold out of those KOs who's guns fit deluxes.

All I sodding want right now is activators Prime!!!
(I'm saving myself for activators cliffy!)

Dear crew,

It has fallen on our ears that Sainsburys is currently selling TFA deluxes for £5, AND that the new TFA wave, comprised of Swoop and Sentinel Prime, are being stocked and sold under this offer.


Tragedy, for your poor friend CC, as he has no Sainsburys to pillage.


£10+p&p etc to the sea dog that hooks CC up! ;D
