I do too. I have never had a Combiner except movie devastators, and I am sooooo close to one, but no Air Raid. All I know is I am certainly not paying around £33 for him on Amazon.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

TRU, I pray, please, just bring them in!

I'm going on a search tomorrow. Will try Smyths and Toys r us as well. The wife even says we can go for a day trip to Scarborough if I want although that's £30 petrol and a 3hr round journey on top of the cost of any figures. Would love a first aid or a hot spot, although I think it's just deluxes that have been spotted.

WHAT???? I would have thought we get wave 2, skip the rest. That's the pattern. That's how it works. That's what the Elders of Time Imporium state as gospel truth. Wave 3 onwards are the buggers. Wave 2 is just meant to be really, really slow. I need those Stunticons. And Air Raid. And a second Air Raid for my Liokaiser dammit!

According to this page on TFW2005....Motormaster is out in Forbidden Planet this coming Saturday! The rest of Wave 2 are out mid June....http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... -3913.html

Forbidden Planet doesn't really count as retail, though, as it's generally import.

Why is it you guys don't seem up to buying an air-raid or the stunticons online? Is there any particular reason

I understand we usually get the poopy end of the stick distribution-wise so I generally tend to pre-order stuff if I can.

Considering I don't drive and would have to pay for public transport and/or taxis to get to most of my local toyshops, I don't mind paying a few extra quid on top of the retail price, since I'd normally end up doing that anyway.

Well....regardless.....it's still coming out in the UK.....which is a step in the right direction....in my books

Because everywhere that would sell them for a decent price is out of stock, and has been for a looooooong time, and the other places that have them in stock is more than I am willing to spend. £30 quid for a deluxe? Please. I have enough trouble stomaching £15. Protectobots I got from Kapow. If wave 2 was in kapow, I'd buy it from there. It's not about not wanting to buy it online, it's about not wanting to be extorted for them.

In asda living at the crown point shopping centre leeds and found all wave 3 deluxes for 14.99 each. Grabbed a streetwise and first aid! Will try to post a pic but this forum doesn't normally like my phone pics.

My package from Kapow came today! I am impressed with the speed (it would have been quicker, but Sunday and Bank Holiday prevented its arrival until today)

I ordered the wave 3 deluxes, and I must say I am very impressed! Sadly, I have to wait a while to get Hotspot to make Defensor. Luckily, I am missing limbs for Superion, so Silverbolt can improvise for the time being! I have attached a photo of my set-up. I recommend these figures a lot if you don't already have them

Also, noticed the Generations Voyagers in my local TRU. They had a Roadbuster and a Skybyte. I was originally interested in Skybyte, but after hearing what you guys have said, it kinda put me off. I was also gonna pick up Roadbuster, but I am saving my money for the rest of the combiners, such as finishing Superion and Defensor, and getting Devastator! Apart from these voyagers, nothing new to report.

Don't be surprised if that gets pushed back. FP's online store is awful when it comes to pre-order dates.

Import is not UK distribution though, so not indicative of what we actually get in the UK.

Pretty much same here. Plus I prefer to wait and see if I can get one in a physical store, and resort to Auto Assembly if not.

3 cw armada megs in the notts tru. Apparently they had g1 as well but they went in a matter of days. Rest was clogged with aoe tat.

Thank you Va'al! I got mentioned in a news credit! Truly the pinnacle of my life!

Anything for a Leodensian.

Just got back from a hunt around Warrington. Went to Toys R Us, they had 2 Armada Megs, 1 G1 and an unopened case on the floor with more Megatron's inside, I left them as I already have the Armada version, though the G1 did look awesome! you guys were right, they do have the legends figures, but only Thundercracker and Windcharger, interested in neither so left empty handed.

On my way back I decided to pop into the Asda Superstore at Westbrook, didn't think they'd have anything interesting but to my surprise they had Wave 3 combiner wars, 2 cases of them, had to wait around to find a staff member to get a First Aid from the capping shelves at the top but I left with all 4, they had a full set left after I bought mine, £14.97 each. Now I just need to get my hands on a Hot Spot.

As I told you, here and in another thread - we'd rather post our own photos and sightings where possible, and that's what Crankcase79 provided.

Ah right, sorry, I must've missed his posting! kudos goes to Crankcase79

Happy to share the credit Stuartmaximus, Till all are one and all that!

Nah nah pal, you deserve it more than me! + I don't think the Admins & Moderators like me too much! + they really shouldn't get too worked up about where the source of a finding comes from...coz at least WE'RE INFORMING the people on THIS website of such findings,(something I feel that they should've posted on their main news page) I think they're a little too set in their ways tbh, but hey....that's my opinion!

anyways.....back to the Wave 3 findings....I very much doubt that the Asda near me will have those in! as they barely have any transformers in of any kind, however....I'll try the one near Toys R Us in Glasgow at the weekend! as they've had some Wave 1 ' s in.....as well as Rescue Bots & some of the new RID stuff.....so there's always a chance of seeing at least a few limbbots from Wave 3 there, failing that....Smyths Toys have got Hot Spot & Cyclonus coming out in July(canny mind the date on there....but they do have one) & hopefully the rest of the Protectobots will definitely be out by then(I hope).

Hi, Admin and Moderator right here!

The thing about sightings is all about traffic, and not something I set myself.
If we can have our own stuff, it's better for the site - if not, we link to 'competition'.

And we have posted on the front page! That's what my earlier link was about - did it not come through?

Aye, sorry, it did, I didn't look far back enough to see Crankcase79 ' s post on the main news page.

Anyway I hope I find at least SOME Wave 3 limb bots this weekend

My local asda has the wave 1 cw deluxes, rid legion figures and hero mashers and thats it for transformers. Toys r us had armada Megatron but nothing else new. To be honest I'm tapped out for the month now so will have to make do with first aid and streetwise for now!

Good afternoon fellow Seibertronians!

The Robotmel family have taken a trip back to my home turf of Barnsley to visit the folks for a few days, so with all this recent talk of Asda I made excuses for a visit to the local stores!

Just got back from Asda Living in Corton Wood on the outskirts of Barnsley/Rotherham which had, count them, one CW Dragstrip and a couple of 1 Step RiD Fix-Its!

Disapointed with Asda Living, my next stop was just across the road to Smyths Toys which had a good mix of Transformers.
Various AoE movie bits of different sizes, 1 Steps to the giant Stomp n Chomp Grimlock, Mashems and Titans, but also of note where Generations Voyagers Roadbuster and Rhinox, CW Voyagers Optimus and Silverbolt, all the wave 1 CW limb bots and a few Generations/CW Legends including Windcharger, Thundercracker and Bombshell!

Going to pop into Barnsley town centre tomorrow to the large Asda Superstore for a browse, hoping that store will turn up some CW goodness?
I will let you all know tomorrow?

If anyone is after the anything mentioned, let me know and I will pick up and post at cost?

Edit: We are actually off to the other large Asda this afternoon, so fingers crossed I will have more updated sightings!
