Don't forget poor old legless, be-helicoptered superion too. >:oP

Dag namit!

I mean, I was sure this was going to happen anyway but still...

Oh well at least I can get some new limbs... make some kind of vile Autobot Limbed Bruticus lol

Also,

As an aside. I got my Groove in the post (deluxe Groove that is) from Kapow. He's great an all but when it came to actually putting him on to the combiner, I kinda felt it looked silly, having this GIANT bike as a leg. I dunno, what do you guys think?

I think it's a toy of a sentient alien robot that turns into a leg to join toys of other sentient alien robots to make a larger toy of a different sentient alien robot.

Which will beat the crap out of other sentient alien robots. That turn into things. By it's very definition, it's silly. You knew what you were doing when you bought him. Personally, I think he looks great. The lowering of his robot arms stops him from looking like he's got a gimpy leg.

Also, plug Groove's two guns into the shoulders of Rook when he's in alt mode. Looks Bad. Arse.

Fair enough

I suppose it is no more scale weird than Superion holding an A10 Warthog as a gun with arms made from "realistically" smaller jets lol

I think I'll have another look tonight.

Either way I am really happy with Groove, very glad I bought him, even more glad I only had to pay £24.99

(lol "only")

Guess no combaticon limbs for this country. Glad I decided to go Takara with them.

Huh. Which means we've mised out on Menasor minus an arm, and Bruticus limbs. Well, I hope this country likes Autobots.

It looks like Italy got decent Bruticus limbage on the other hand. How odd...

Bagged all four Sky Reign limbs at Smyths in Milton Keynes.

Don't hold out much hope for Sky Lynx himself based on comments here so it looks like I'm off to Kapow Toys for him

Just spotted Rescue Bots Deep Water Rescue High Tide in TRU, Govan, Glasgow

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I spotted Wave 5 legends in my local TRU. Picked up a Shockwave for myself, alongside Ultra Magnus which I have been waiting to ramble up the £50 to buy, so now my birthday haul consists of Deluxe Groove, Ultra Magnus and Shockwave 8-)

Smyth's, of course!

I asked as I went to a smyths store in Leeds and they didn't have that wave at all. Frustrating!

News Credits: 5 · Sat May 28, 2016 6:24 am

They were two aisles over from the main TF bit, in a cardboard shelfy-stand. No sign of them where you'd usually look, I found them by accident while searching for a one-year old's Birthday present I'm still not sure we got.

News Credits: 6 · Sat May 28, 2016 7:51 am

Not in either smyths in Leeds. Did pick up Hound though so not a total loss! On holiday this week so will keep checking.

News Credits: 19 · Sat May 28, 2016 2:09 pm

Only spotted in Wales so far! we've yet to see if they make it into other Smyth's stores across the country

News Credits: 2 · Sun May 29, 2016 3:26 am

Dangit!

I've already picked up 3 limbs this month (still missing Hound)...

Guess I'll be popping to various Smyths this week until I find them all.

Oh and if anyone is interested... Amazon have the Conehead seeker Platinum set for £29.99 and Trypticon for £69.99!!!!

If I could I would have bought them both already.

Combiner Wars Wave 2 limbs and Motormaster listed as "coming soon" on The Entertainer's website, not sure if this is a sign or not?

Deluxes are listed as the usual £16, and Motormaster as £23, but considering what happened last time I doubt these will appear in stores

I'm going to be daft and say the WILL happen. We only didn't get wave 2 due to slow ordering from Uk retailers. With Titans Returns around the corner it is LIKELY, but not certain, that these will be somewhere and Hasbro is looking to shift them. Better to put them out now than sell them cheap to Band M in a few months time. I'm probably wrong. And I have them all anyway,but I would like to think this is what will happen - look at Prime, we missed Shockwave entirely, then he randomly started to show just as the CW stuff was showing up...

Speaking of, Toys R Us Chatham had CW Legends wave 5(?) the Shockwave one, today so I finally got my mits on him.

Smyths Maidstone had Wave 6 Deluxe (no Hound :-(

) but no sign of Wave 5, I scoured the whole store in case of randomly placed displays...

I spotted 3 out of the 4 Wave 5 Combaticon Deluxes(Vortex, Swindle & Blast Off) in my local Smyth's Store(Kilmarnock) but! they were on a cardboard display & NOT!!! where the tf's are normally displayed(so! just a point of note about that)

Sadly no sign of Wave 6 yet! so no Sky Lynx or the Deluxes(Smokescreen ect).

Smyths Charlton: No Wave 5 or 6

Smyths Kirkstall bridge store in Leeds today. Now minus a blast off, vortex and swindle to complete my combaticons! Have faith brothers and sisters, they are slowly appearing. The other smyths store in Leeds didn't have any though so search carefully!
