This was a while ago, but the other day I had been looking for Titans Return figs in my local town centre, and I saw a little boy walking around holding a Combiner Wars Brawl. I know he didn't get it from Argos, as I had checked there before and after for deluxe stock, and it wasn't Asda because at that time they only had Protectobots, my speculation is it was bought in The Entertainer as thats the only place I didn't check, and they are now listed on their website.

[quote="RAR"]I'm glad to hear that Sainsbury's have had wave 5 (you mean the Hound/Wheeljack/Trailbreaker/Smokescreen wave yes ?).[quote]

Ah, I meant Wave 4 - the now commonplace Combaticons.

That said my local Sainsburys has Scattershot AND Onslaught

Sorry about this, OCD. Wave 5 is Combaticons, 6 is Sky-Reign. Ironhide etc. was Wave 4. :-D

Saw some dirt cheap Titan's return figures, at Asda.
Think the atom sized ones were like £5.99 and the Deluxe ones were maybe £12.99?
Ok not THAT cheap but better than Toy Planet. :lol:

I dunno. £12.99 is £4 less than Smyth's. Do that twice and you've made some good booze money!

My local smiths has no deluxe's just leader classes.

And I'm not getting any Titan's stuff yet because I am still not sure about them.

Hey friends! Thought I'd chime in with a contribution since I've been stalking the sightings threads. Feel free to skip the bit behind the spoiler which is a bit of a personal toy hunt thing.

So, I was recently in the U.S. for a wedding and thought to myself 'I'll bag some Titans Return figures while I'm at it and so I don't get screwed by the bad exchange rate, mwahaha!'

My poor girlfriend drove me all over goddamn Portland Oregon, and even around Washington State, getting into every Target and Toys R Us. And I literally found ZERO Titans Return *anything*. If I found something Generations at all it was usually a wave 3 limb and that. was. it. Literally all over the place guys! Even went to a couple of collectors toy stores, a buncha comic book shops, zilch. Nada. Found an incredible TFAW shop with a wall full of GUNDAM MODEL KITS and no transformers figures!

ANYWAY, which brings me to yesterday: Went to Glasgow Fort, a shopping centre in the outskirts of, well, Glasgow! Where I live and all. And boy was I surprised. In short:

Smyth's Glasgow Fort Titans Return stock:

Full Wave 1 Deluxes: 16.99£ each
Full Wave 1 Voyagers: 23.99£ each
Full Wave 1 Leaders: 43.99£ each

YEAH. I was well over the moon. I just got Hardhead (incredible figure) and self-hating Decepticon comedian SkullCRUNCHER (bit floppy and some other problems but love the two modes anyway). Can't really afford more at the moment

Smyths in Thurrock have had a restock of Deluxe TM...

There was an extra Hardhead... but he mysteriously vanished. (To my house...)

Photo doesn't show clearly but there were at least 3 of each.

Has anyone found Titan Masters recently? I cannot get them for love nor money...

I can confirm Asda have Wave 2 Titan Masters priced at £5.97. I picked up all 4 earlier from Gravesend.

Also, they had Combaticon Limbs in the Clearance section priced at £8 but scanning at £6.

Hope this helps, good luck people!

Spotted Titans Return Power Master Optimus and Blaster in my local TRU for a hefty £50 each, but also spotted the Hasbro release of Masterpiece Bumblebee for a shocking £80, not sure if this has been mentioned already yet, but they only had two in my local one and alas, I am broke

£80 is pricey for such a tiny figure. If people don't buy it then the price may come down and I might buy one to go on display with the Takara version.

£80 does seem way over the top. I recall frequently seeing Masterpiece Grimlock for a lot less than that.

Does it still come with spike? I might be interested if theres a sale and I have a money off voucher or something.

This is what I was hoping, I was hoping the same for the Platinum Trypticon which has been shelf warming the shelves of my TRU since its release, still no price reduction from what I've seen!

I'm pretty sure it does come with Spike, well Spike in that mech suit thing

The Entertainer in Bluewater had Combaticons wave Deluxe and Voyagers in (£16 and £25).

They also had Legends wave with Wreck Gar which I have ever seen in the wild before. I say hda. I bought the only Wreck Gar.

For me, that just leaves Sky Lynx and Stunticons as the only CW figures I have not seen at "Regular" (non import) UK retail.

Speaking to the Live Chat on The Entertainer website, not sure if its a real person or some bot, but I am trying to ask it about when Titans Return will be in stock, at first it said "I checked our site and there is nothing under Titans Return" and I explained its a new line, and its just now said "I will look into our buying info, hopefully I can find something", not entirely sure what that means, maybe its checking if they are actually buying them for stores?

Edit: Just as I sent this, it responded saying they are meant to be receiving some Titans Return figures at the end of the month! Though they are unsure what it will be, so it could be Titan Masters or Deluxes or anything, and this is just the website, but still a good hearing as it may mean that more stores will get them around the end of the month! Heres a screenshot for proof:
