Picked up Sky Byte and Springer from B&M. They also had Blitzwing, Whirl, Rhinox and Roadbuster.

After taking my 5yr old son to see Home this morning we popped into toys r us birstall, leeds. Their tf stock wasn't great but they do have a buy one get one half price deal on all hasbro transformers toys so I got the little lad some botshots he wanted and myself Skyebyte for half price, can't go wrong! They also had another Skyebyte, 4 roadbusters and 2 Springers.

Has anyone else got Skyebyte? Is he any good? I only really picked him up as a generations voyager for £6.25 after the 2nd half price deal was too good to pass up.

That's awesome - fingers cross they get soundwave and soundblaster in. I got skybyte but haven't even got round to opening him yet. I may look at trading him as he doesn't fit into my collections anywhere.

Ah, glad to hear that TRU stores hav been getting them in stock now, it's a bit easier for me to get to one than a B&M, I'll have to see what I can do in the next week or so about making it down to one

It looks like Smyths have RID Drift in stock for £10.99: on their website they only have a single listing for all Warrior class toys, but his toy is definitely among them.

I've plumped for the slightly more expensive but sure thing by ordering him from Argos at £11.24. Still cheaper than the full whack of £14.99, should be picking him up tomorrow!

I got him in the hopes someone on here needed him / for trading stock. I ended up opening him up since nobody seemed to need him, but I'm not a massive fan. Almost a complete lack of articulation in his alt mode (for obvious reasons). Paint is caked on and looks eager to chip off, little silver paint spots all over him in places there shouldn't be. Bot mode is surprisingly large of stature, but almost every limb is hollow save for his gun arm thingie. He has a fair bit of articulation, but every pose he can pull off looks really gangly, mainly due to how much his back kibble gets in the way and his right arm has a major monkeygrip thing going on.

Fair play, I don't really have much attachment to the character and I never intended to pick him up, but I'm not really happy with how he turned out. I was expecting him to be a bit of a hidden jem. That's probably an unpopular opinion on my part, since everyone else seems to be pretty happy with the mould.

Incidentally, I'm gonna sell / trade him if anyone's interested.

I too picked up a Gen Sky-Byte cheap via Ebay lena81822 on a whim, wanting to try out a new beast figure for a laugh.
I agree somewhat with what you said, perhaps my feelings on this figure are still low as I don't have an attachment to the character or know of his TF history, so for the moment he remains in bot mode, in limbo aka that bit of desk next to the Detolf cabinets! :lol:

Has anyone ever ordered anything through order 66 or star action figures? Just wondering what they are like.

News Credits: 2 · Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:06 am

Has anyone had any luck at Watford B & M?

I am hopefully checking it out tonight for a springer and double dealer (maybe even a sandstorm) but don't want a wasted trip.

Wed Apr 01, 2015 6:20 am

Just been into B+M today, lots of Roadbuster and Springer but they have just got loads of Generations Legion Figures at £2.99 - got me a cute little Bumblebee - they had Grimlock and Prime also.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Apr 01, 2015 4:17 pm

I keep on seeing B&M trucks driving past my work, damn teases.

I will try TRU to see if they've got any Sky-Bytes.

Newport B&M had Roadbuster if that's any help. I may get down there tomorrow so if you're after anything else in particular I'm happy to send it on, or hide it, if I find it, let me know. Bear in mind that they might have bugger all.

Sky-Byte and Roadbuster now available at TRU online just £12.49...

Why do I not get any emails about this thread? :???:

I once bought a Arkham City Mr Freeze from Star Action Figures. Very pleased with the service, really quick delivery. I'd buy from them again if they ever had anything else I wanted.

Thanks for the info Insurgent! The entertainer website has some of the generations stuff in stock and price reduced to £16.10. Go forth and multi buy!

News Credits: 1 · Thu Apr 02, 2015 1:39 pm

Got Blitzwing from Portsmouth tru. They had a Sandstorm and a Blaster as well. Anyone know where I can get a not-overpriced Brainstorm? He's the last generations voyager I need.

News Credits: 2 · Thu Apr 02, 2015 3:18 pm

In Toys'R'us Manchester they had 2 Roadbusters, 1 Skybyte and 1 Springer but that was a couple of days ago so who knows if thats still the same. I didn't buy any Transformers but i did leave with some Bionicle.

Aw, bugger! Was down that way picking up a parcel a few days ago. Cheers though, good to know he is around. Wish I'd checked this thread sooner.

I've been keeping an eye on B&Ms around the 'diff, and they seem to be getting through stock quite quickly, so between them and TRU I'm optimistic.

Fri Apr 03, 2015 7:58 am

Just picked up Sky-Byte for £12.49 at TRU in Newbury Park. They had another, as well as a couple of Roadbusters and Springers.

Also, they've got 4 MP Sunstorms for £49.99

First of all....I'm rather pissed off with The Entertainer(Glasgow) being closed today coz it's Good Friday! so couldn't see what was in there! also disappointed with TRU(Glasgow) coz they didn't have any thrilling 30 Voyager Class Generations Figures in!(although I did manage to pick up a Beast Hunters Legion Jet Vehicon(white)) & neither did a B&M close by!

luckily Smyths Toys(Glasgow) was a different story, they have Roadbuster, Springer, Rhinox & Whirl in.(I managed to pick up Warrior Class Optimus & AOE 1 step Drift(helicopter)..... speaking of Drift....they also have the Warrior Class RID one in too

If anyone is desperate for a generations sky byte I have a misb one I'm willing to part with. Just my lack of affiliation for the character / lack of shelf space. Pm me if you are interested.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 03, 2015 11:10 am

Two rinox in b & my watford, they had a whirl but I was cashless yesterday, it's gone now :BANG_HEAD:

Nothing but a combiner wars optimus and the three wave one combiner limbs (no sky dive) and thrilling 30 legends class bumblebee and optimus At toys r us watford.

The entertainer was closed but I was in there yesterday, no thrilling 30 but they had the entire combiner wars wave one minus the four legends.

Going to get to frien barnet Smyths and hayes b & m over the next week, hopefully find a springer and maybe a doubledealer or blitzwing

Happy hunting

Here's the thing that I don't understand......is why The Entertainer still haven't got those Thrilling 30 Voyager Class Generations Figures in yet? & they're still under the status of coming soon........COMING SOON? they're already here! B&M have had those in for over a month now...with Smyths Toys more recent....& some TRU's more recent still!

News Credits: 19 · Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:16 am
