Sorry the server must have had a mental break down it double posted on me after a wait of a small geological age.

It does mean we have reached 900 pages of grumbling Britishness!


(The server and database are under constant maintenance, so I'll notify Ryan of the hiccup we just had. I had the same issue too.)

& good thing is....i've already got the Wave 4 deluxe's

Need!

I'll go check Charlton later, didn't have him in Thurrock at the weekend though...

Just picked up Masterpiece Tracks and Road Rage. Bought Road Rage on a whim, had no intention or interest in getting her until she was in my hand and now I love her!

btw he wasn't an easy find! as he was hiding behind other TF figures(i had to move Hot Spot out the road to find him)

so you may have to shift stuff out the road.....in order to find it

was it a Leader Class Skywarp? coz we don't even have any of those yet here in Scotland

oh & btw Smyths Toys now have Scattershot on their website! as well as Onslaught & Vortex

http://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/sear ... =UK&_redir

In Sainsbos. They have both Scattershot and Onslaught. £23.00 each.

Well, I say 'have'. Best make that 'had'.

Pic evidence to come if anyone is bothered

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Masterpiece Sunstorm has been reduced to £30 in Toys R Us. I grabbed one because its pretty cheap and I was only put off it by the price. Great figure; now my second masterpiece transformer!

Thats precisely why I nabbed it

Not that it would run out any time soon; there were about 20 of the things!

btw i love this one guy's comment from TFW2005 UK sightings page! lol...but it's true.....or should that be TRU

I want a £30 Sunstorm!

But my local Toys R Us's don't have him

Btw LOVE Onslaught. Really nice toy. Scattershot is ok. Only bought him because I didn't have him lol

I want a £30 Sunstorm!

But my local Toys R Us's don't have him If anyone would be willing to pick me one up it would be muchly appreciated

I was about to offer to grab one for you as I pass my local TRU but I guess your local would be Chatham too!

They didn't last time I went in but that was before Christmas.

well i checked my local Smyths the day there! & not a snifter of Scattershot, Onslaught or the deluxe Combaticons!

i'll check further afield later on in the week to see if i have more success then

& YES! Argos may well have the Combaticons in(although not definite yet?) but i'm not too enamelled at their prices for them

When I was in my local when I bought mine, I can guarantee they had more than 10 left.
Then again that was Saturday, but judging by the lack of things leaving the shelves, I don't think my town is a transformer-loving town. Shame.

deffo Asda's the place to try


a word of caution though! those may not necessarily be found at the toy isle

i've checked TRU & Asda in Parkhead, Glasgow & only found Legion Windblade in Asda & 1 Step Quillfire in TRU, trying another TRU & Asda out at Govan, Glasgow but i don't hold out much hope!(i was right! no joy) i've a Smyths to try out at a retail park near Easterhouse, Glasgow! dunno if i'll spot anything of interest there? there's also an Argos out that way too! i may do a customer viewing to see what Warrior Class RID's & CW Voyager Class & Deluxes they have(Maybe Megatronus, Onslaught, Scattershot & Combaticon deluxes?)

So how did the customer viewing go?
Did you end up having a look?

sorry, aye, they only brought out Rook & Alpha Bravo, so i guess Argos don't have the Combaticons in stock yet, so the only places so far to get them is...either Smyths Toys for Onslaught or Forbidden Planet for the full set!

meanwhile more & more people are spotting those Warrior Class RID Megatronus ect on cardboard displays in Asda!(which btw isn't necessarily placed in the toy isle).
