How the F#@$! I was there last Saturday & didn't see any! just CW Silverbolt & Prime! + where in Forbidden Planet were they located?(the Protectobots I mean)

Mind you....knowing FP.....they probably weren't the cheapest place to buy those(as some have found those cheaper in Asda) but....meh.......kudos goes to you for finding them In my neck of the woods(Scotland) I'll probably just wait til they roll Wave 3 out properly! instead of this hit & miss affair! hopefully if they haven't pushed those back too(like FP has done with Motormaster til the end of August) Smyths Toys will have CW Cyclonus & Hot Spot in between the 8th & 15th of this month(but check their website to be sure of those dates).

The four of them were on a peg directly above the Silverbolts and OP, I nearly walked past FP then decided to have a quick nip in just in case. And no they weren't as cheap as Asda but I didn't want to wait for them to turn up in Govan.

Ah right thanks, btw Govan's probably where I'll be getting mine from(either at Asda or TRU, if Smyths don't get them in first! which they seem to be....with Hot Spot & Cyclonus at least) also....no idea if The Entertainer will be getting Wave 3 in too? there's no sign of Wave 3 on their website as of yet

Anyone.

Good afternoon fellow Seibertronians.

I have just mentioned this in the Lew Stringer Appreciation Thread but wanted to give fellow UK fans a quick heads up!

Milton Keynes Stadium is hosting Collectormania 23 next weekend with a few Transformers UK artists and writers present from back in the day.

Come along if youre in the area and grab some sketches or get some comics signed by...

Lew Stringer
Mike Collins
Lee Townsend
Martin Griffiths

Unfortunately Lee Sullivan cant attend.

Its free entry both days and there is a handy coach service which gives you a free ride to and from the stadium, which is nice!

I just need to convince Mrs Robotmel to give me a lift over there now!

Hope you've done a video review of them! as i've yet to see a fellow Scots transformers video review.....the only vid reviews I've seen are mostly American or English ones

+ I seem to have killed the sightings page

Anyone seen the listing on asda direct for a "Transformers generations combiner wars Voyager class figure" at £13.54. All of wave one is listed by name on the website apart from optimus prime so it's going to be him right?

Any thoughts?

Has to be Optimus. The pic is him combined with other limbs (from the Hasbro scary child stock pics files) which some of the other Limb bots have on the same page. The price is really good though. Shame I have him.

Thanks Oddimus, I just needed one person to go with my line of thinking

I checked out my local ASDA on Saturday. They had 1 Optimus and 1 Silverbolt, shelf price marked simply as Transformers Voyager assortment and listed at that price.

Nothing doing in Smyths or Asda today for me, Smyths have got that many Generations figures in that I can't see Hot Spot turning up anytime soon.

Cheered myself up with a First Aid I found at Forbidden Planet though, strange that they too have missed the Stunticons out. I can at least make an all Autobot combiner now.

A guy on the transformers addicts Facebook group has posted an email reply he got from hasbro. He asked when wave 2 of combiner wars would be here, the reply apologised but confirmed the uk would not be getting wave 2. I'll try to attach the picture he posted of the reply. Looks like we are getting screwed by hasbro yet again. :sad:

Hasbro don't deserve any support when they mess people round like this. I'm not collecting combiner stuff but if they make things hard for customers then why should we bother?

Have any of you UK based folk ever ordered Transformers through Forbidden Planet as they have a Combiner Wars stuff up for pre-order with an ETA of this week?
I wondered if its worth throwing them some cash and if the pre-order gets pulled or cancelled, what are there policies in full refunds via PayPal?

Thanks for any help you good folk can offer!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 6:46 am

They're good at refunds (or rather, don't take the money until the order is dispatched/shipped), but they're not good at keeping pre-orders within the actual quantity of stock they have. You might be thinking you'll get yours, and suddenly an email shows up on day of dispatch saying 'NOPE'.

And I thought FP said July, for ETA? :-?

News Credits: 2 · by **Oddimus Prime** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 7:48 am

Ok. Pre Ordered at FP.

:/

Let us know how it goes!

Ive just mentioned this in the Combiner Wars thread but I have ditched FP in favour of Amazon.com who can ship CW Air Raid to the UK for £17.86!!

Why the heck not? :grin:
