We must be edging closer to an official reveal for exhaust and Greasepit.

Nah, they will do a spotlight showing them off when they are long gone out of stock like they did with the elita 1 combiner :p

Smyths seemed pretty well stocked on netflix deluxes today. Nothing new and exciting. They had the cyber verse cowboy guy in and forbidden planet has 20% off some stuff (eg cyber verse clobber) but had no earthrise.

Dead prime at amazon france appears to be cheaper than indemands listing, havent worked out postage or translated it but seemed worth mentioning at £45 plus whatever shipping/currency fees:

Just a heads up, Smyths now has Doubledealer available for home delivery. This should also mean that he should be making an appearance in stores on the next deliveries for each (either tomorrow or Friday depending on the store)

Walked to my semi local smyths today, was happy enough with loosing ibs rather than £s. Double dealer on shelves (plenty of siege figures too in Kirkstall -springer, six gun, hound, sideswipe, Starscream), astro train, prime and they even had a few ss shatter car mode version.

Deal was posted on hotukdeals.

So, Scorponok is now in stock at Smyths. Most stores will say out of stock until 23:00 tonight due to how the store inventory gets updated but it is in stock at the warehouse for home delivery if you want to risk it with Yodel or Hermes.

Nice, I'm still waiting on amazon. Snapdragon will be an instant buy when he arrives instore at Smyths tho.

News Credits: 11 · by **CyclonusG1** » Tue Aug 04, 2020 2:13 pm

Yeah, I'm waiting for Amazon too with my order currently being £117 which, even with staff discount, is cheaper than Smyths

Scorponok is back down to £116.47 pre-order from Amazon arriving September:

Yeagh

I never found any at home bargains though

and had already paid about £80ish on ebay tho I wanted another set because my quickswith knees are floppy (plus I'd try to repaint the floppy one to the Japanese toy colors).

I'm still not so sure Amazon will deliver on scorponok with them cancelling rheir own gi joe exclusive storm shadow orders.If the next titams black zarak I'll probably order it from anywhere else even if it is not as cheap.

Octobers a bad month for me, especially with no demand for organs and bodily fluids...time to sell Ectotron.

B&M on the toy sales section in store had battlemasters for £2 (was £4) Blowpipe and Lioniser.
They also had some evergreen? titans £12.99 each Starscream & Megatron (I didnt search through the shelve to see if they had other characters).

That battle trap...is that the pair or just one component?

by **ThunderThruster** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 11:27 am

The pair.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 1:24 pm

How annoying they would go on sale now. Never got a chance to get that pair, but my finances are really restricted at the moment

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 2:24 pm

You should try for them if you can, less than a siege deluxe (or the same with postage) and double the fun with them each having their own bot modes unlike skytread -but can totally understand on the finances

though I'm glad I picked up big powered back when I had a job even if a saving on it would have been nice. will be interesting to see what tomorrows listings are.

Also ID toys have selects red chest swoop for £13 (£2 cheaper than kapow) and Selects Lancer for £15 which is exclusive to them even if finding the rest of elitas arms and legs will cost arms and legs.
*edit also MP Lio convoy at £115 (£5 cheaper than Kapow)

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sun Aug 16, 2020 4:34 am

Kapows adding some more stuff at 8pm. Not sure how great todays additions are so far with most of them having been cheaper previously elsewhere but a sprinkle more of third party stuff

https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/tfnation.html?p=1

highlights?
TR cosmos and seaspray £15
Mastermind Creations R-41 Ultio (IDW senator Ratbat) £65
Green minicon Unicron £125
CW Leader class Ultra magnus £33
Street fighter TFs Ryu vs Vega £55
*Takara Legends Seaspray £10 probably the stand out for me imho

*edit their website must have been taken a while to upload stuff as a few new things added

what doesn't float my boat might float yours though so browse away.

I went to the Metrocentre in Gateshead for a shopping trip today, their branch of The Entertainer had Studio Series Overload, but I didn't buy it because I'm not collecting the Constructicons any more.

Also went in their Smyths, I didn't realise there was a Smyths at the Metrocentre until I saw signs outsode for it. Lots of Earthrise and Netflix stuff, things I never thought I would ever see in a brick and mortar store, so I picked up a Doubledealer.
