MP Wheeljack - lovely figure
MP Bee - I hate bumblebee because of his over saturation but I think MP is rapidly becoming my favorite TF EVER. HE IS SO CUTE!!!!! And there is some really amazing engineering there Love him.

Both of which came from TF EXPRESS (tm) so I am pretty impressed with them at this point.

I also go Brainstorm but I havent had much chance to play with him (other than to check he was the fixed version, by popping his head on and off 50 times).

In sightings news, my office mate is taking me to Smyths today to buy me toys so Iwill see what is there

Woot!

Aye happy Birthday pal

Mind n give us a progress report of what you find in Smyths coz some people are finding those grey imports in there too

Yup.

Smyths had lots of CW deluxe, voyager and Legends (all Wave 1)

Loads of RiD (all wave 1)

A ton of AoE 1 steps etc.

Annnnnnd Springer, Roadbuster and Sky-Byte!

All at £23.99. They only had one Sky-Byte and his box was a bit mashed but as he was the only thing I wanted and I wasn't paying for him so I got him - Thus completeth my Generations Voyagers (Except Soundblaster - but I only really want Buzzsaw so I'm not too fussed)

Grey imports? What are you talking about?

Grey imports are products imported into a country through methods that arnt the official manufacturers. So these toys could be in USA or Australian boxes. Like how sometimes you buy a can of coke and then realise that the text is in a foreign language.

I have just picked up a Sandstorm if anyone wants to swap for a Rhinox or Doubledealer?

Can swap in the post or meet up if local (I am in the North-West).

Have already traded with MemphisR56, hopefully he can vouch for me if needed as I am more of a lurker than poster

Anyone with Nectar points can redeem them for double the usual cash amount at Sainsburys on toys (and other departments). After this promo the number of points you can earn at Sainsburys will be cut in half.

Reet! Kilmarnock B&M have finally got those Thrilling 30 Generations Voyager figures in! but so far they've only got Rhinox & Whirl.

The only place at the moment that seems to be carrying Soundblaster is The Entertainer! But it means having to pay their prices!

I don't mind paying £24 or whatever for a Soundblaster if I can't get one cheaper... but I do mind paying £30+ on ebay. I mean it's just because I don't have him, I don't actually NEED him lol

i raided ormskirk b&m and I found 1 skybyte! I know some people here were looking for him so I picked him up, PM me if you need him. Happy to straight trade for a doubledealer if anybody found one.

Can totally vouch for Renketsu too. Nice bloke!

Dang it! Would totally have the Sky-Byte off you if I hadn't found one this week.

I'm sure someone will sort you out.

Just been into our local B+M store and have just picked up, Springer, Sandstorm, Blitzing, RoadBuster, Skybyte and FOC Blaster - £12.99.

Fingers cross next time I pop in they have Double Dealer or Brainstorm.

Lucky you! I think that's the closest yet to the full set that B&M has had in.

I'm going to try and hit B&M today, I don't hold out much hope but will try and pick up what I can.

I know people that want most of them but if anyone is after any ad I manage to get them I am more than willing to part ways.

Leeds b&m update. Most stores have rhinox and or roadbuster, however the store in Middleton had 3 sandstorms, 2 roadbusters, a skyebyte and a blitzwing. They also had 1 springer and 1 blaster but I snapped them up! I would have bought more for those of you who needed some but to be honest I couldn't afford any more. If anyone is in the leeds area I recommend getting to Middleton asap if you can. Ring them first as they will put any you want aside for you.

Thurrock (Lakeside) B&M is a bust: no Generations Voyagers at all, just those massive TF:Prime shampoo bottles. Essex is sorely lacking some love here!

Didn't even know there was a B&M in Lakeside (checked their store finder and it doesn't come up, but you have just saved me a trip, my friend. Apparently there are 2 B&M stores in Romford according to their site, so I might take a look next weekend.

Let me know what you discover: there's got to be something in one of them!

Anyone know when or if we're likely to see Generations Jetfire, Rattrap, Waspinator, Chromia, Windblade, Arcee ect come out? either in B&M or other Stores.....maybe even Home Bargains! dunno why they don't stock those figures too

Just been into our local B+M today and all they had was 2 Road Busters left. Home Bargains don't usually have much in the way of Transformers apart from a few Age of Extinction toys and a few Transformers Prime Legend Figures.

I'll be popping back to B+M Thursday so if I see anything I'll let you all know.

Ok thanks

The b&m in Stockton high street has just Whirl and Rhinox but multiple copies of both. Tempted by whirl but I don't feel anything for the mold

Went in to B&M at Cockhedge Warrington today, they finally have the generations voyagers in, but a small selection, 2 Sandstorms, 1 Blitzwing and 1 Blaster, was interested in Blaster and almost swayed by Sansdtorm but I'd rather have a new mold to play with (already have Springer and Soundwave, who Sandstorm and Blaster are retools of) I'm particularly interested in Roadbuster, but want to see it in hand first to make my final judgement.

Went over to the bigger B&M homestore on the Riverside Retail park and they had the exact same selection over there. Which I found amusing, if a little disappointing after trailing all the way through the town centre.

Went in to the Entertainer after, they have wave 2 of RID, Drift and Optimus, not picked any up from that line yet but after watching the show I like the character of Steeljaw and so caved and bought it (Entertainer currently have 25% off making the price £11.25) fun little figure but very loose joints, all over, and I mean "shake it and it dances" kind of loose, never mind, a quick operation with some superglue to tighten the joints and a few touch ups with paints and I'll have an awesome little figure

Your mad not to have picked up Sandstorm! but hey! it's your choice! + I think those figures will probably be shelfwarming those stores for some time to come.......just in case you change your mind
