White boxes are giving a cybertron toy line vibe, the retro kenner ghostbusters are slightly over what I would pay but that us by the by. Scorponoks def cheaper at amazon.

Found an image over on Instagram for the box art of Sky Lynx featuring the Coneheads. I'm now hoping this means that we will be getting them at some point

I'm not wasting my time on Amazon UK's promise of Scorponok as they're laughably predicting delivery within 1-3 months. Got my pre-order in with Kapow for these and the remaining devastator parts with In demand toys.

I got burnt by Amazon last year when they offered preorders on Scavenger and Mixmaster with short delivery timescales of September (even Hasbro Pulse was showing December). Both supposedly supplied and delivered by Amazon) but these got cancelled a few weeks later with "Our supplier has informed us that this item is no longer available. This item has now been cancelled from your order". Had to scrabble for a pre-order with ID toys in the end.

I'm risking it for a biscuit.julys more than 1 to 3 months off and it will probably be delayed. Got a £5 off amazon voucher from making a wishlist even if they are yet to deliver on my other orders.

You're aware that Hasbro themselves are saying this won't be ready to ship until September so Amazon's promise of 1-3 months is just made up?

Yeagh, they use 'usually' so it will turn up whenever or may get cancelled but at least it looks like it will be in stores by that point as I think smyths will likely get it (unlike potp predaking). If it was combiner parts to complete a combiner I'd avoid using amazon.

Nice finds, still haven't been to the shop recently to check myself.

The rest of the Netflix wfc figures are now listed on the Smyths website. The Voyagers are expected mid March, deluxes early April and Ultra Magnus is expected early June (likely either after the series airs on Netflix or just before this 'spoiler' UM is seen, though that's just speculation).

If you don't have any luck and there's still one there tomorrow when I drive past again, do you want one for the £10 + £4 postage?
