One thing I don't understand; why are the wave 1 deluxes not on the Toys R Us website, even though I found all 4 in my local TRU? Plus they were cheaper than Smyths, but I still don't understand why they aren't at LEAST on the website.

Edit: Also, to those who want them, Wave 2 deluxes are still in stock on the Entertainer website!

Yep, I just bought Domey and Mindwipe. Can't wait for Domey to be reunited with Rewind <3

I'd like to try and bid on a Superion set I saw, since the price is okay so far.
Thing is, if the guy is unwilling to ship to the NL (I asked, and he didn't seem very willing), is there a UK collector here who would be willing to help me out? I could have it sent to your address and then you simply forward it to me. I'll refund you the shipping cost of course.

Maybe you can tell me if you know how much shipping a combiner costs from the UK to the NL too? Tyvm!!

auction ends today, so I hope someone can help (should the seller not decide to ship directly).

well I have started collecting transformers toys again after a pretty long hiatus and im still not upset I skipped over combiner wars

anyhow yesterday I first went toys r us in Bolton where they had the entire titans return deluxe class wave 1 in stock along with the legends and titan masters waves the only voyager in stock was galvatron and nucleon but they had a few powermaster optimus primes and Blasters in stock too
nothing special in the robots in disguise part though just some megatronus figures

then I visited toys r us in warrington where again TR wave 1 deluxe , legends and titan master class were in stock , strangely just one singular powermaster optimus prime and quite a few galvatron and nucleus sets
they also had RID warrior class Scorponok in along with paralon , quillfire and a singular thunderhoof which I picked up no sign of windblade though

2 trypticon sets were also on display along with multiple masterpiece bumblebees and some of those over priced platinum edition sets including megatron v optimus and intel ops blaster

also in stock was a few CW leader class ultra magnus' reduced from £50 to £40 so I snagged one up

heres my haul from those trips
CW Leader Ultra Magnus
RID Scorponok
RID Thunderhoof
TR Voyager Galvatron and Nucleon
TR Skullsmasher
TR Scourge
TR Blur
TR Hardhead
Titan master Clobber
Titan Master Apeface
Titan Master Skytread

Unfortunately their website has nothing of the sort - just Power Battlers, Construct-Bots and Hero Mashers.

Apologies if this has been posted, but Smyths in Chelmsford had the Titans Return Wave 2 Voyagers of Sovereign/Alpha Trion & Darkmoon/Astrotrain on shelves on Saturday. First time seeing these in the wild, but only one of each though.

News Credits: 6 · Mon Sep 19, 2016 8:02 am

Is there anyone in a better position to check the Smyths in Speke & St. Helens than me?

I'm in Northern Liverpool (sefton) so both are a bit of a Mish for me to get to without my own car and with the newborn in tow. :-?

I should probably just give them a ring.

I was gonna go for Legends Astrotrain, but I can hardly turn my nose up at £19 for him. #-o

See! looks like CW Blackjack's turning up in some obscure stores in the UK(in XS Stock fairly local to me, and this guy's TK Maxx)

It's very much worth noting that Kapow has a large sale on until monday.
Of the many things on sale, some of the more notable ones include Masterpieces and Platinum sets having large price reductions (if you want the Dinobots Platinum set, at £85 this is your best chance); the G2 CW sets going down to around £60 each, CW Onslaught and Silverbolt down to £15, Leader Skywarp and Armada Megatron down to £30, and Titans Return Fortress Maximus going down to £125.

Might fire up the old credit card to get the platinum dinobots for that price! Thanks for the heads up Kurona, those have been on my hitlist for a while now.

Weeell, you've got about 48 hours to decide whether certain death is worth it
