Got my G1 CW Megatron today. Fantastic. When the stickers from Reprolabels arrive he'll look even better.

Kapow, at this point they're the only place that have any left.

You could also try TFs express (formerly omegalock), in demand toys, or Order66.

TRU Norwich have one G1 and two Armada Megatrons, £49.99.

And A LOT of TF4 stuff. Seriously. Did they sell none of it..?

@glynreaper check your PMs, I messaged you regarding a Skybyte!

Edit: also, I'm getting brakeneck in the mail soon, so is anyone interested in a second hand arms micron wild rider? I was using him as a placeholder for the time being

My Brake Neck and Quickslinger arrived from Kapow, as well as a Motor Master I got off of Ebay

Now I have a kinda complete Superion (no Air raid, but Quickslinger instead) and a strange Gorilla looking Menasor with only arms lol

Same here,

My massive delivery arrived from Kapow on tuesday, I now have complete and G1 accurate Superion & Menasor, along with a complete CW defensor. From getting to muck about with new iterations of the Dead end and offroad molds, I also managed to learn a few things about them (namely where their arms are supposed to peg to to make them secure in arm modes). I was super happy with how Quickslinger and Brakeneck turned out.

Though, everyone seems to be raving about defensor, I think maybe I went in with my expectations a little bit too high. Not a fan of the battle damaged, huge forhead head sculpt, the head's positioned so far forward in torso mode that it is actually in front of what could be construed to be his stomach, so the proportions are way off there. I can't get the upper legs to do sod all in terms of posability, he even has a creepy glowering lean forward thing going on. Plus, Rook as a Leg just makes the kneecap thing stick out way too far, and having groove plugged in on the chestplate makes his torso almost as wide as it is tall... I've seen people rigging groove as an added knee pad on the front of rook, but this just seems to exacerbate the width:height ratio problem. And it sucks. I love them all so much as standalone figures, but the actual selling point of the figure as being a combiner just sort of falls short for me.

Anybody else have him yet? what are your initial thoughts?

Exactly how I've got My Superion right now. My Breakneck and Quick-slinger got here Saturday so now I'm just waiting for wave 2 to complete Menasor and get Airraid.

This may have already been reported but the entertainer at the White Rose centre in Leeds had lots of generations legend nemesis prime and cliffjumper packs. My OH picked up one of each for me, although £10 each seemed a bit steep for me! Oh well, not going to complain about it!

Also spotted in my house CW Off Road (ebay) and CW Cyclonus (kapow), both of which I am very pleased with.

£3.50 shipping to UK. Free for orders over £100. They are pretty darn quick at shipping though.

Entertainer has the Generations Voyagers now, I didn't look too closely but they seem to be at the higher price point.

They also have the Kreo Ironhide Devastator set, again at a higher price.

Beware the Kreo Devestator set.

The shout-outs on the box have it listed as the rare Yellow G2 Devy kreon, but upon opening mine, he's just the regular green guy.

Home Bargains website has the upscaled legions from Beast Hunters at £6.99. Not really bothered about 'Bee and Smokescreen but I might go for the Terrorcons at that.

I doubt the one nearest to me will have Brainstorm in.......but I'll check today.....as I'm going TF hunting! I'm also gonna check TRU to see what TF's they currently have in(doubt they'll have any CW Wave 2's in yet), there's a B&M near that TRU as well....so I'll also check what thrilling 30 figures they have in.....If any

+ does anyone know if we're likely to see Thrilling 30 Jetfire &/or maybe the Deluxe range coming out(Orion Pax, Tankor, Rattrap, Windblade, Waspinator, Arcee ect) & has anyone seen Brainstorm, Soundblaster & Doubledealer in stores(The Entertainer, B&M, TRU, Smyths Toys ect) yet? coz if they have....they seem to be very few & far between! it's mostly been Whirls, Roadbusters, Sandstorms, Rhinox, SkyBite & sometimes the odd Blitzwing here & there! but none of the remaining others.

News Credits: 19 · Sat May 16, 2015 3:56 am

Ok......just checked The Entertainer(Glasgow)......& they have Roadbuster, Sandstorm(no surprise there!) As well as Legion Nemesis Prime & Cliffjumper!.....then surprisingly....Blaster & Blitzwing. still to check TRU & B&M.

B&M just have Roadbuster in.....& TRU have nothing new! just the usual guff! although their talking Minions look cool.....but TRU'S asking price of £65 for them is a bit steep + no doubt there'll be some new talking ones coming out off the back of the new movie

Went in to Liverpool yesterday, didn't see much new.

B&M: it's a bit out of the way of the city centre, about a 7 minute walk in the opposite direction from Lime Street, remembered it from the walk I used to do to my old flat. Anyway, they had 1 Blaster and 1 Sandstorm.

Forbidden Planet: Nothing new, about 6 deluxe Chromia's, 3 deluxe Goldfire's, both AOE leader class Grimlock and Optimus. Roadbuster, Combiner Wars wave 1 Deluxe and both Voyager Silverbolt and Optimus.

Entertainer: Roadbuster and Sky Byte, Legends Nemesis and Cliffjumper (no gears which is what I was looking for) Wave 1 Combiner Wars deluxe and a few silverbolts. No Combiner Wars Legends.

Toys R Us: Liverpool 1, the usual stuff, nothing new, no thrilling 30 voyagers, and no Combiner Wars Legends.

I was after some new plastic so I bit the bullet and went back to the entertainer to buy Sky Byte...kind of wish I hadn't. He's nice, just not £23 nice, but glad I didn't order him online for like £30 though, he just has too many flaws for my liking.

I've been to many B&M's over and over, they all have the same stuff or nothing at all. Sandstorm, Blitzwing, Blaster, I saw 1 Roadbuster which I bought on site and that store has had nothing since, so I gave up on looking for figures such as Sky Byte and Rhinox in B&M's.

And I have never seen any Combiner Wars legends anywhereeee, like, never. Anyone know of any places in the Warrington area that have had any?

At least some Forbidden Planets are getting Chromia's in! The one in Glasgow is hopeless! just CW Silverbolt, Optimus & a few wave 1 arm & leg bots

Norwich has pretty much sod all, though TRU restocked their CW wave 1 stuff.

I also spotted the late late Beast Hunters legions for £2.99. The tag, that is, not the figures.

Sat May 16, 2015 4:41 pm

I almost bought a Chromia, almost done it a few times, just never brought myself to actually doing it, wish she had a b*tchin axe type weapon like in the IDW comics, then perhaps I'd buy her. I think its because I have Prime Arcee that I just know what to expect.

I too am wondering if B&M, TK MAXX or perhaps Home Bargains pick up the thrilling 30 deluxes, whilst I have most of them, i'd like to pick up a few for a cheaper price, Chromia, Rattrap and hopefully a new skids to replace my broken one :sad:

Home Bargains normally sell Deluxe transformers for cheap, I remember when Energon came out a tonne of Energon Deluxes were sold at Home Bargains, waves that never made it to toys r us, bought about 8 figures at once all for about £2.50 each, those days were awesome! The best was picking up an Armada Unicron for £20

anyway, back to the point, I hope Home Bargains get the Thrilling 30 Deluxes in...
