I think they mean £20 or more. You get £5 off once.

Yeah that was my understanding as well

No, it does stack. I served someone yesterday and the tills set the leader class Shockwave down to 36.99 from 46.99. It is a bit awkwardly worded though.

Asda sighting, energon igniters cliff jumper (red vw bee) legends sized figure £3.50

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Tue Aug 06, 2019 11:15 am

Asda near me stopped selling tfs other than botbots a while ago.

@symths shouldn't the wording be "For every twenty pound worth of Transformers, get five pound off"?

It would be so much easier if they did word things clearer. But, unfortunately, whoever is at head office writing up these promotional slips is probably half chimpanzee and just hopes that they make sense. As store employees we're supposed to just leave things up to customer interpretation.
An attitude like this is why my time at the company is limited.

Leeds forbidden planet is pants at getting anything in, so no siege despite it being in the Cambridge stores.

hotukdeals has a posting sighting bumblebee greatest hits leader soundwave at £11 in sainsburys (worth picking up as a base if nothing else for that price) and some of the cybervers legends at half price.

website only has single pack botbots at £2.25 instead of £3

Entertainer had cyberverse armor skybite and same sixe class wave mates in (but they, like asda, just mainly store cheap generic robots like mars converters etc). I'm on the hunt for a scraplet or whatever they were called from Prime.

So, yesterday, Kapow put up a post on their Facebook page discussing delays from Hasbro UK. It seems like we won't be getting Jetfire or Springer until nearly September. Considering Smyths also gets their stock (mostly) from Hasbro UK, I'm expecting the same delays there even if their website still says that Jetfire will arrive in stores by next Monday. So, unless they've imported some stock like they did to get Leader class Overlord, we're probably looking at September too.

It's so frustrating as a retailer trying to source stock when not only is availability incredibly spotty in the first place for an independent store but things randomly get delayed all the time. It's part of the reason we never put Transformers up for pre-order. For example Omega Supreme originally had a date of Yesterday for the past month or so, but is now showing as unknown.

by **ThunderThruster** » Tue Aug 13, 2019 7:41 am

I have a bad feeling about that. We might have to start thinking about importing Springer & Jetfire.

The UK distribution is a joke, something I have to keep reminding others across the Atlantic when they complain about not finding one figure amongst a sea of waves we don't get :lol:

News Credits: 7 · by **Sjeng** » Tue Aug 13, 2019 9:54 am

I'm still waiting for Red Alert, Brunt, Impactor, Ricochet and Shockwave...

If jetfire misses the nice Smyths money off offer, a UK website has him instock and a fiver cheaper than smyths too (so if anyone did preorder with Smyths they might get smyths price promise). Doesnt include postage tho.

I've ordered from their ebay once (item was cheaper on their website

) and I think from their website once. a little bit weird how their business names are different/have changed and dont match their facebook name either but the ebay feedback is good and they were reliable.

********EDIT for those that take website security in mind, their website is not secure, not sure if payment is secure*****

Instock:

****they have Unicron on their TF Express website at £599.99 plus £10 postage****

Not sure what price forbidden planets are doing artic ugly megatron for, but Indemand has him at £25 (and yes I bought one)

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Mon Aug 19, 2019 11:15 am

Might be old news but:

Smyths bot it's renegade arcade pack £30 (£25 if bought today in store, last day if £5 offer)

Bnm mighty morphers 6 figure pack £6...two variant color packs to choose from.
2x KO Cosmos different colors
1x KO brawn
1x plane
And the best (or worse) ultra magnus.

Looks worth it just for the cosmos

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:21 pm

The bnm near me have upscaled Fall of Cybertron Combaticons for sale, with combining function intact.

So the arcade renegades have landed in blighty eh?

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:33 pm

Yeagh, shame they left all the siege stuff back in the warehouses

how hasbro can miss supplying shops with new stock over the school hols is a mystery to me.

Will keep an eye out for the KO combaticons to have a look at although I'm not sure if KO colors could be as bad as the real ones.

I'll have to take pictures next time I'm there, blast off is blue if u remember right. I've got a feeling that just like power of the Primes, Siege will miss the bargain shops (leaving random Bumblebee movie toys or TF5 voyagers to resurface)

It doesnt look like they are sending enough stock over here for it ever to go discounted. I picked up shockwave with the smyths offer and it feels like i've paid way over what its worth. The figures barely voyager at a push (other nitpicks aside, purples too dark and no smooth parts). It's been awhile since I've seen/can remember proper discounts (other than the £15 TR leaders which is what I'm hoping to pay for hasbro overlord at some point in the far future).

Hi guys. Has anyone else recently been having order issues with Indemand Toys?

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:58 am

They had some website issues going on to actually get to the webiste a bit back but no problems with orders as yet (received retro wave 2 he-man motu a few weeks back)

I've not bought anything instock to be sent asap and awaiting orders (which I believe to be down to suppliers more than ID as Kapow had the same delays with Super7 and now with Hasbro)

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sun Sep 01, 2019 8:14 am

I must have blinked and missed it, but ID had soundblaster listed as £40!!! sold out (compared to the £28 cell shaded voyagers at Kapow).

Amazons out of stock but will deliver when in stock, the Siege Autobot firestormer set (G2 sideswipe, grandslam, target master) for a reasonable/should have been price of £35

couldnt find the decepticon set unfortunatley.

News Credits: 11 · by **CyclonusG1** » Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:51 am

I've ended up just getting the Decepticon Phantomstrike set from Amazon US. It ends up being about £60 including p&p and import fees. Still a bit much for the set but considering that we might not get it at all, it's a necessity for the third of the seekers.

News Credits: 11 · by **CyclonusG1** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 3:10 am

Don't know what's going on here with Amazon UK but they have greenlight currently listed for £3.05. It is temporarily out of stock but they say they'll deliver when they get more.
