Not really so bothered about Brawn and Clobber.

Actually mate, it's alright, my local have got 2 full sets! Tagged and bagged! Thanks anyway.

Lots of ASDA seem to be restocking Transformers - maybe the will actually remember to put them on their website this time unlike most of this year.

Supermarkets are crazy they got in a ton of RID clearanced it all almost immediately then replaced it all and jacked the prices up to a level past impulse buy and treated us to the lovely sight of £19.99 Deluxes.

I suspect they are only selling them for £19.99 so they can later mark them down to £14.99 or £9.99 and claim they are half price.

It's like when Tesco suddenly decides a punnet of Cherries is going to cost £5.00 you know a sale is due soon enough on Cherries.

Speaking of which Tescos in may area have no Transformers at all other than the odd One step or legion from time to time. even the 2 Huge ones have no Deluxes and I've not seen a Boxed Transformer there since before Combiner Wars & RID - they never even got 3 step changers past wave 1 that was the last boxed Transformer I've seen in a Supermarket other than Sainsbury and very occasionally an ASDA if they have a promotion where they got Deployers and 3 steps.

I'd consider impulse buying Titans Returns at £14.99 but at £19.99 I'd rather play catch up on Japanese toys and wait for a sale. Heck I'd rather pay 20-30 for a Japanese one and get the little vehicle as well.

Tesco's have really become bad on stocking Transformers where we are. They have very little RID Stuff and that's about it. Smyths so far seems to be the best place I know for Titans Returns toys, I just picked up scourge on Friday who features a super WOBBLY head lol!! Will be picking up the Takara one when released.

I finally got my Head Master (Legends) Galvatron from Hobbylink, though was hit with a £14.00 customs charge taking the cost of him to over £40.00 - Next time I'll wait and see if Kapow get General stock on any Legends figures I miss pre-ordering lol!

On a Quick note - Smyths at Leeds Crown Point had loads of Titan Returns toys except for Titan Masters on Friday - my search for them continues.

More Glasgow TR sighting news!

Toys R US (Govan/Ibrox) :
Full Wave 1 Legends (Rewind, Stripes, Wheelie): £10.99
Also for sale, the two-packs of Soundwave discs from Fall of Cybertron for 4.99 each.


Asda (Govan/Ibrox)
Wave 2 Titan Masters: £5.97
Clobber
Brawn
Skytread (sorry, I got the last one!)

Full wave 1 legends, £10.97 each

Oh, and I don't know if it's been reported already but A1 comics in Glasgow City Centre have SDCC Fort Max for £169.99!

This may be of minor interest but the Green flash boxes that are a thing now for RID line under the banner of 'Minicon Weaponisers' means they have reissued One-Step Drift - I can't speak for any one else as he was in some Argos - but I've barely laid eyes on the thing so a reissue is welcome.

I found one in a Tesco anyway - But Asda may be cheaper.

I can concurr...as i was at TRU/Asda in Govan on Saturday, & noticed at A1 Toys the SDCC Fort Max(which the figure is now out on display in the window) as well as the SDCC Sentinel, Brainstorm & Windblade 3 pack.

My local Tesco extra store in Leeds has combiner wars legends figures reduced to £3 each. Grabbed a warpath and groove because it seemed rude not to!

Oi cranky, check your PMs mate

Has anyone got their hands on Titan Masters Wave 1?

I am desperate for them but can't get them anywhere Literally the only Titans Return stuff I don't have

I have checked several Toys R Us, several times...

They have them at my local TRU, but I think at the moment they only have two of them (not sure which ones)

Just spotted TR Leader Class Soundwave here at my local Smyth's Toys store in SW Scotland

Just used The Entertainer websites live chat again to find out more info on Titans Return, and I asked about a release date. Their response was "they should be arriving in our warehouses in the next couple days, so should be in stores in about a week" so this is a promising sign!

Just ordered the entire Deluxe Wave 1 from Kapow, and I thought it would be worth mentioning that the entirety of Wave 2 are now up for pre-order! However, they are only available for pre-order in methods such as the entire of deluxes, or the entire of the voyagers, there are no single listings currently. (Which was a blow as the only voyager I wanted was Astrotrain, now it looks like I will have to wait!)

Just got yesterday Soundwave (TR) from Smyths at Crown Point Leeds - An incredible figure to say the least. They had about 6 of him there. No new others sadly, but if you are in the area he's worth picking up.


Second of all, I'm really wanting to get the Decepticons Mindwipe and Weirdwolf from Wave 2 Titans Returns but have no interest in Cromedome of Highbrow as I don't really collect many Autobots. If anyone is after these 2 I'm willing to go half and half on a set from Kapow Toys?

If you're interested let me know

Jinnai

Anyone found RID Paralon yet? I think some people have been spotting him in TRU

Found Lord Doomitron, Tricerashot, Bashbreaker and I wanna say slipstream but can't remember the little guys names.

All in toys r us.

Bought Titan Masters Wave 1 in Toys R Us Bedford about a month ago.



Bought Blurr, Scourge and Soundwave in Smyths Milton Keynes on the weekend.




Bought Titan Masters Wave 2 in Toys R Us Bedford today.

Keep the receipt, I've had horrible luck with toys in that range having two of the same arm(loudmouth, Cerebros(yeah the big head) and a few others).

It seems like the QC for Hasbro & Takara have been in a major slump lately. UW bruticus was riddled with probablems, and I had to send back a Cerebros to Kapow for replacement because his bloody electronics didn't work.

My infinitus also has backwards thighs, so he doesn't sit propper. All 3 of my scourges have wobbly heads and hands. We all know about pretty much 100% of skull crunchers by now.

It took me way too long to type this post, as i'm currently exhausted.
Becaaauuusse.... *drumroll*

MINIMEMPH HAS ARRIVED.

Healthy baby boy. 8lb 7oz. We have named him Isaac. Ike for short. Him and mummy both have a bit of recovery ahead of them after a few complications, but we're all doing well.

Congratulations!

Yeah Skullcrunchers are pretty bad. The Takara version I have is pretty much perfect though.

Sounds cool, but is the altmode decent?
Jokes aside, congratulations dude, that's wicked news!

Not really anything on the sightings front from me (what else is new ) but I've been nabbing a few bits from ebay- have absolutely fallin in love with the thrilling 30 brainstorm, so much so that however nice the TR version looks I've simply got no interest, my weapon-loving time-travelling mad-scientist needs are satisfied

Congrats to all involved, and best wishes with the recovery!

Congratulations! Hope you're enjoying being a Father.

As reported elsewhere, Entertainer has W2 deluxes in store, I just picked up Chromedome as they're asking £20 for the pleasure.
