Smyths Milton Keynes appear to have unearthed several boxes of POTP.

Picked up Snarl, Sludge and Moonracer today. They have about 15 Moonracer and 15 Blackwings lined up, along with some Voyager Siege Megatron, Prime, Cog and Skytread.

Asda MK are clearing out Last Knight and the usual Studio Deluxes. Picked up a Hot Rod Deluxe for £6.25!

So, I work at the Smyths Toy store in Longton, and we did have both Leader class WFC toys out. I say did because they only ever seem to send us one box in the first batch. I brought Shockwave and someone else brought Ultra Magnus. According to our system though, stores across the country should be getting them between the 5th and 12th. But you might find that your local stores might have put them out early as there is no embargo date on the boxes. We also have all the Deluxe class WFC toys and both Voyagers. Unfortunately, the Micromasters and Battle Masters aren't on our system so I doubt we'll be getting them (especially considering we never got the Prime Masters).

Thanks for the useful insight, I did find it strange that I never saw prime masters etc at Smyths.

Absolute sod all on the Siege waves in Stevenage Smyths. Just last knight, blackwing / moonracer and a few of the deluxe dinobots.

I'm missing a Swoop at the moment to complete my Volcanicus so looks like I'll be preordering the red version.

At the Longton Smyths I work at, we will be getting the Leader class WFC figures tomorrow though I don't know how many. Usually our main warehouse sends us one box but as we got a box early, we may be getting more. This should also mean that all the stores across the country will get them today, tomorrow or Wednesday depending on what day they receive deliveries.

Unfortunately, eltawater, the Smyths stores won't be getting any more PotP so you will have to get Swoop elsewhere. The only ones we have received are Moonracer, Blackwing, Sludge and Snarl (which is disappointing because I don't have Swoop, Slag or Grimlock). None of the newer Studio Series figures are on our system either suggesting that we might not get them, but they are a line that don't seem to sell that well (at least in my experience at the Longton store). We still get plenty of Rescue Bots though on the off chance that someone is interested in them.

Thanks again for the insight.

Yes it does suck a bit especially given Hasbro's constant desire to split logical parts into waves which inevitably never see the light of day in the UK.

I'm still holding out a glimmer of hope that they'll get bought up in a batch by the likes of B&M :)

Jetfire isn't too dissimilar than the US price, though if we think of Jetfire as an mp then price isn't so bad :lol:

I doubt we're ever going to really see them in sufficient stock at the likes of Smyths or The Entertainer so preorder it is then!

I'm fully expecting an SDCC version of Omega Supreme though...

My pair of Undercrackers have arrived from The Entertainer. Don't expect mint boxes as the corners are dog eared.

same, otherwise Inferno would be great for all the toyhax labels (one I have has G2 Pyro deco on him) or one to even paint up as grapple (tho we might get a selects version at some point)

None of the POTP will be listed in stock in any Smyths store if they have been reduced. This is because the stores remove them from the system if they are on clearance. It does, unfortunately, mean that you don't know what they have in unless you physically go there. Good thing though, if the other stores' staff are doing their jobs properly, you should be able to get them at the price listed on the website.

But are the stores receiving new batches of stock specifically for the clearance, or is this just clearing stock they've already had on the pegs?

Because given my recent experience of local Smyths stores, they've got pretty much naff all...

It'll be reducing stock the stores already have. We no longer get any PotP stuff (unless the main warehouse finds a box that they lost; it's happened before). So if your local stores haven't had anything in recently, they likely won't have anything reduced. As for new stock., we're pretty much only getting Siege, wave 1 Studio Series, Cyberverse and Rescue Bots.

Can confirm, picked up one shiny Inferno for £5 :)

Look for them on the clearance stand that are near the tills if they are not on the shelves. There was only 1 Inferno out of both the stores I went to.

Cheers, I won't bother making the trips then. When are your higherups going to work out that we REALLY don't want any of the last knight stuff that's been hanging around like a dead rat for yonks? :D
