Yes. They did have some CW and RiD toys in around Christmas. I was able to snag Ironhide, Rodimus, Pipes, Groove, Viper, Skywarp, Chop Shop, Scattershot and Onslaught from there. Missed out on Sunstreaker. Oh well. They do currently have a lot of the RiD Minicon Deployers in stock, if that's of any interest to anyone here.

I was in Tamworth today. Stopped by Asda, spotted Bumblebee, Kickback, Twinferno and Triggerhappy. TRU still had those Gen FOC Rumble/Laserbeak packs, as well as Soundwave, the wave 1 titan masters and the hot rod wave of Deluxes. Sainsburys had Hot Spot and Cyclonus for £12 each and the Combaticons for £15 each.

Toys r us in Ipswich has the titans rumble, laserbeak and ravage, as well as gnaw bee and the rest of the legends and deludes. Sadly nothing bigger except blaster and sounwave though.

Having said that if anyone is missing those last 2 smyths keep having them on sale online. Picked them both up (as well as galvatron) for £18.99 a few weeks back thanks to price match

Keep checking the stores. The deluxes are starting to show up at retail. TRU had the full wave for £15 each. Asda had Twinferno and Triggerhappy for £18. Smyths also has them at the moment as well.

Not sure if this is known, but I am down seeing family in Telford this week so I popped in smyths. Walking through the gaming sections and I spotted a transformers display in one of their cabinets. Turns out they have the boxsets behind the gaming counter. Managed to snag computron for £69.99

Just a heads up. Smyth's toys are now listing new bots online. Sky Shadow, Kup, Topspin, Broadside, and others. No stock as of yet, but must be getting close to list them.

The Chinese import versions of Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, Smokescreen and Hound have been found in B&M stores. They come with the IDW comic book and 2 instruction sheets, one in English, the other in Chinese. They are retailing for the same price as other deluxes at £10

£10 each is a bloody steal for the US versions of these figures. Especially since they usually go for £30 upwards on the secondary market

Man, some of the Last Knight stuff looks pretty nice (Barricade especially seems fun with all the different weapons and such) but that price is just too much to stomach for a deluxe. I normally begrudgingly accept the slow price bumps what with the world economy but this boggles the mind...

Ooof. £33 for Voyager prime? Yikes. I wonder how much they'll move at those prices.

I grabbed one as it looks nice.

Sadly that's the under RRP for these.

They cost even more in Argos. Deluxe bumblebee is not worth £23, it has less paint than the AOE version.

Slash is the exact same toy but in better paint. Same with Grimlock.

I thinks s fans we have no one to blame but ourselves as we have been pestering Hasbro for years and now they are giving premium paint jobs at premium prices for the collectors.

I'm hoping the regular deluxes will be no where near as expensive

These ARE the regular releases. The premier tag just means they are the complicated versions, not the oversimplified versions for little kiddies.

Found the TR Wave 3 Legends at Toytown today for £12. A bit overpriced for my liking, I'll wait for eventual sales.

Saw the last knight deluxes in tesco for £21.somoething if anyone is interested in those popping up. Nothing else in terms of figures (though they did have some other fluff that I ignored).

If you're living in the UK and have had your eyes on some of the 2016 Platinum sets but really didn't like those price tags, you might be in luck today. Toys R Us UK's website currently has a few of them on rollback - Planet of Junk Clash (featuring Hot Rod, Wreck-Gar and Scrapheap) and Armada of Cyclonus (featuring translucent versions of Cyclonus, Scourge and a Sweep) are both down to £60. In particular however, the Autobot Heroes boxset (featuring Ultra Magnus, Springer, Arcee, Kup and Blurr) is down from £200 to £140. Check out the links below if you're interested and happy shopping!

aw, I mentioned the Autobot Heroes pack being that price a few weeks ago (but think maybe i forgot to mention it was toys r us). Had me clicking this thinking it was cheaper. Still probably cheaper to import the set from the US when they have it on sale (sometimes works out about £65 before shipping)
I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool! :)

Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

Kapow sale currently has that scourge cyclonus set for £30. They did have the autobot hero pack but that seemed to go very quick.
