I have faith, just no patience!

But I do have 3 Smyths reasonably close to me, done 2 of them in the last 2 days and will try Thurrock tomorrow...Maybe.

Bagsied in Smyths Milton Keynes.

Smyths Toys are fast becoming the retail store of choice in the UK for the better parts of the range. Toys R Us only seem to be interested in stocking stacks and stacks of the same old shelf warmers, they're still trying to shift some Dark of the Moon stuff and ConstructOBots in my local ones!

https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformer ... eturn.html

Pre-orders available for Wave 1 of Titans Return on Kapow. Shame they aren't doing the deluxes individually, the only ones from this wave that particularly interest me are Blurr and Scourge, and aside from that Wheelie. All I really want from Titans Return is an Astrotrain, Soundwave and all his discs and Brainstorm, none of the others really interest me.

Smythes may not have much combiner wars but they have had these:-

A little off topic...

I'm getting rid of all of my Unicron trilogy toys. I have many. If anyone is after anything, drop me a PM. I will put it all up in the Buy Sell Trade section. Also getting rid of my Alternators. Basically anything that isn't currently on shelves and living in the loft is going to go :-(

Was doing my regular check up on website to see for any changes, and noticed this on the Toys R Us website:

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/transform ... 7986520001

£130 seems like a large amount, but I am not particularly interested in it anyway. It is supposedly sold in stores so if anyones interested I would keep an eye out!

Also the Wave 2 combiner wars figures have now come off of the Entertainers website, as predicted.

Pricey, which means few will buy and it'll end up being reduced.

The facebook uk sales thread have reported titan returns wave 1 in some smyths stores. Seen the photos to prove it.

News Credits: 19 · by **Stuartmaximus** » Sun Jun 26, 2016 2:40 am

Btw where are ppl spotting those TR figures in Smyth's? are they at the regular TF display or on a cardboard stand somewhere?

coz my local Smyth's don't have any in yet(i checked on Saturday) nor could i find any cardboard TF stand anywhere, they did have one previously, with a few of the Deluxe Combaticon figs on it, but that stand seems to have disappeared since.

My understanding is they are on the main sections but mostly in stores in the south so far. A lad on tfw2005 boards said the manager of the Bolton area smyths told him yesterday they were expecting the new transformers stock on Tuesday so that might be the best day to check oop north. I will be trying the Leeds branches although my wife has used Facebook to recruit some of her southern based friends to check and pick up a Galvatron for me! Also, did anyone pick up 4-5 battle core optimus prime figures from Leeds crown point smyths yesterday? I ask as they were there at 9.30am and ALL gone by 4pm which seemed a bit suspicious- like a scalper at work.... :evil:

News Credits: 2 · by **Insurgent** » Sun Jun 26, 2016 3:37 pm

Yeah, they were just on pegs on the main shelves.

News Credits: 6 · by **Crankcase79** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 12:01 pm

Picked up titans return scourge and skullsmasher from smyths crown point leeds. They only had a Blurr left. No voyagers at all. The other leeds smyths store had no titans return stuff at all as I got the staff to call and check. Still waiting for my Galvatron!

I found yet another addition to the Toys R Us website, this time being Combiner Wars Computron, listed at £130, and supposedly sold in stores, so if you are interested I would keep an eye out!

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/transform ... 7986490001

Also has the official product shots for Computron, which I am not sure if they have been released yet.

They also have the new platinum sets listed, such as the one with Optimus and Megatron, the Armada of Cyclonus and Planet of Junk Clash. All listed as "sold in stores".

I have also noticed that all Combiner Wars figures have been removed from the Smyths website, however there are still no Titans Return; its all RiD at the moment.

Hi guys I'm from Ireland so I thought I'd share some news I saw on Facebook.

Daimchoc reported Titans return stuff on display including fortress maximus along with his Master sword in tru UK.

If anyone could send a master sword onto me I'd greatly appreciate it and pay well.

Also if anybody could help with deluxe vortex and brawl that'd be great.

News Credits: 2 · by **Insurgent** » Fri Jul 01, 2016 10:14 am

Master Sword? That's odd. That thing is meant to be a SDCC and Japan exclusive.

See, I'm really conflicted on Fortress Maximus. Titan class figures are generally too big for my collection, but by the same token, he does look nice. But I'd rather get the Takara Fortress as I don't like Cerebros. But I'm not interested enough to pay import prices. But Master Sword. And though I'd prefer the Takara colour scheme for Maximus, the Hasbro one is also fine. And I have toyworld Infinitor to lead my Headmasters. But the Titan one looks good, and I never picked up Metroplex, so I don't have the mould. And I do love the headmasters. If the UK (or at least Ireland) is getting ones with master swords, that's just confising the issue even more. Unless I find someone willing to trade me the takara Cerebros for the hasbro cerebros, which is gonna just confuse me even more. Oh decisions decisions.

Spotted these in my local Toys R Us; £10 a piece, only had Rewind and Stripes and as the only one that particularly interested me was Wheelie, I didn't pick either up, but hopefully this is a sign that we will be getting the deluxes soon!

Though some of the titan masters are listed on the website, I didn't see any in my TRU, so maybe they are coming at a later time.
