I thought that the smaller car MPs weren't going to released by Hasbro? Otherwise we would have had Sideswipe and Red Alert by now. shame as I missed Red Alert from Kapow Toys.

Yeah I didn't think they were either, but you know, it's just my luck if I do fork out the £60 odd quid at Robot Kingdom for one (with the Amazon launchers) Hasbro will announce a 3 Figure box set of Smokescreen, Prowl and Bluestreak for £100! (or maybe that's just wishful thinking...)

Boom, page = year of my birth.
But anyway, Chatham TRU have NO soundwaves and only one acid storm. That was quick.
Not that I'm interested, especially at those prices... £75 for acid storm? Jog on.
I nabbed an IDW orion pax, ummed and arred over trailcutter too. Megatron looked a bit cack. Srangely, no bees around.
They had loads of FOC soundwaves and grimlocks too. Odd since they're in separate waves.

The lack of capitals on bots names in this post bugs me, but I ain't gonna change it all.

I don't, but the liverpool TRU is equally useless and is usually picked clean. There's another one a ways up the road in warrington which I remember as historically being fantastic, since it's out of the way.

What's shipping like from Robot Kingdom,
fair? I'm getting twitchy over Prowl & Bluestreak.

Yes, so far they've only been found at ASDA stores, but with it now being into september, most stores will be getting new stock for the holiday season and it'll start turning up everywhere shortly. I picked up a skystalker about 2 weeks ago.

Ha! Well, it's my nearest, but even then it's an hour's drive away.
I wish they still had one in Canterbury.

Cheers. Just checked my local ASDA and as usual they've got nothing.

Tesco around here have got a few. I must say I'm surprised so don't hold your breath.

SAY WHAT? why didn't anyone mention this sooner? It's kind of "big" news.

I'm a bit short on cash for a week or so will pick them up when I'm paid. They had 2 full cases of wave 3 deluxes on top of the display too.

Oh dear lord.

More walletpain to cope with this month. I'll be looking for these at some point over the weekend. Thanks Magnus!

Still kind of worrying that we haven't seen shockwave appear here though.

News Credits: 4 · Thu Sep 05, 2013 8:13 am

I went through the entire shelf and there was no Shockwave. Unless he is 1 per case and was already taken then he isn't in the wave.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Sep 05, 2013 8:26 am

I went on a massive hunt locally today, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's and TRU. All they had was wave 1 and 2 deluxe and voyager wave 1, no Magnus, no Grimwing and certainly no Shockwaves!

I pre-ordered Shockwave from these guys a while back. I think they still have Magnus and Grimwing in stock at retail... http://www.robotrecruits.co.uk/

News Credits: 6 · Thu Sep 05, 2013 8:28 am

They're in stock, these guys have Blight and Rippersnapper too!
Finally I can complete my Vanilla Abominus.

But they are priced as deluxe toys. £12.99 is way too much, but that's the price that size class is in TRU.

My MP Acid Storm was delivered yesterday. I may have saved £5 but there was no packing at all and it was just dumped in a delivery bag. Its damaged of course so will take it to the local TRU to be replaced. I sent TRU an email explaining my disgust.

Yep, got mine delivered the other day, same packaging here, just a thin grey plastic bag!
You do kinda expect a little more when a package is loaded onto a delivery van amongst others... even a little bit of bubble wrap would have been ok?

I would like to see Sunstorm released over here (without the cape) and while theyre at it, lets create/mash-up/repurpose/homage this mold into 'Icestorm' in a frenzyRumble stylee!! :lol:

Heck, I should have probably bought myself 2x Ikea Detolf cabinets instead of Acid Storm....maybe?

My local B & M Home Store in Bedford town have a few TF Prime Deluxes on the shelf including Wheeljack, Airachnid, Ratchet, Bumblebee and 3x Vehicons!!
Own they all already so no need for more troops but at £6.99 theyre not bad at all... :-?
