Very few scan in the system though so they charge an arbitrary price.

Fun little toys, not for hardcore collectors but kids will like them

Do the individual components have robot modes, or are the just two vehicles that form the two halves of one robot?

They do have robot modes; but extremely basic ones.

While not a £1 deal, B&M still have Combiner wars figures for £10, and TF4 movie figures for £5.

Still very scarce where I live.

Was in the big Tesco at Silverburn this evening and saw the Crash Combiners, looked OK if you like that sort of thing, might buy some for the nephew when they drop in price. Can't remember for the life of me how much they, or any of the other well stocked RID toys, were, mainly because the top shelf was full of TR deluxes at a fiver a pop. Got a Blurr and another Scourge for a Sweep substitute. How could I resist at £5.00? Unfortunately all of the others that I would have been interested in I already bought full price. Grrr!

That's Drift, as you can see from the package art.

Got Bisk and Ratchet from All The Cool Stuff.

Dunno if they have any more.

Picked up Titan Master Repungus, Shuffler, Krok, Broadside,, Quake, Topspin, Kup, Perceptor, Freeway and Sky Shadow from Orbital comics along with Convoybat and Legends Astrotrain today.

Krok sadly had a factory missmold which is easily fixed but uses the Takara leg mild which is nice for the hips.

I take it you get sticker sheet with Broadside? coz in that pic it looks like the white numbers at the front & white lines on the angled runway are missing

Nope he comes as is already stickered

Very.co.uk are listing the new Transformers The Last Knight Optimus Prime voice changer helmet as being in stock February 15th, price £79.99 for those who are interested. It's also been spotted in at least one Smyths store in the last 48hrs.

Hey guys/gals,

Been looking all over for new places to find hard to find and new releases. Used Kapow a few times, but on my last order only 2 out of the 3 bots came in the box. A month later and half a dozen emails, and I'm still waiting. So I guess I need to find another good shop to buy from. It's a shame though as they had some good stuff.

Where are the best places to buy from online? I know most of the shops from the high street, but can't find many online retailers.

There are a few more such as idtoys, forbidden planet and tfs-express but i always go with ebay. Cheaper by miles and much more protection for buyers than some of these dodgy small businesses

Hey! I wouldn't give up on Kapow just yet, they're incredibly busy and it's the post-Christmas fallout time. I've never known them to be anything but fantastic, so I'd be surprised if they don't get around to sorting you out. PM sent.

Thanks for the information.

On a good note the Thrilling 30 Optimus and roller are back in TRU.

Also While not the UK, I managed to get a Huffer Generations Legends figure delivered from Amazon.com for under £12. I couldn't find him in the UK, only the Pipes version, but £12 is cheaper than some stores.

Since you were looking for it earlier, I'd just like to note that the Titans Return Voyager Optimus is back in-stock on TRU's website - and he's still £15

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/transform ... P637570006

And on a separate note, rather excitedly; Leader Soundwave is marked at £35 - a decent sale price, sure, but what's particularly exciting here is that it's not marked as a sale price. If this is TRU's new standard price for Leaders I am all in if they get Overlord!

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/transform ... P742810003

Unfortunately, they've marked up their Deluxes from £17 to £19. Ironically though; every Deluxe, Wave 1 Titan Master and Sentinel Prime are the only TR stuff completely sold out. Make of that what you will - maybe the Deluxes are just that extremely popular that TRU figure they should mark their prices up, and mark down the price of Soundwave since he still isn't sold out since last year?

Speaking of Soundwave...i found sweet FA of him(RID) at the fairly local Sainsburys i went to this morning

by **Danxdub** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 2:22 am

After weeks, if not months, of checking, My local Smyths finally had Wave 3 deluxes on the pegs.
They'd had the OP & Megs Voyagers out for a while - but they don't seem to ever stock the Legends.
