Big Grim wrote:Oh Gods! I REALLY wish I cared about Black Zarak, but I don't. I was a putz and waited for Hasbro UK to do their second run of Scorponok (who I DO care about, as I had him as a nipper and his colors are SO much better), except they decided the UK didn't need a second run and now he costs a fortune.

So, I ask you, my fellow Seibertronians and Disgruntled Brits this:

Should I get it anyway?

~ Grim

I've got two sealed scorponoks AND a sealed black zarak from preorders when they were first released.
Given the size of the boxes and the insured packaging I would need for them, I can't see I'd ever be able to let them go for less than £200.

When you bear that in mind, £70 and free delivery for a Zarak from the Entertainer is a bargain

Oh, there's no doubt. I did cave and pick one up (and it has apparently been delivered!) but still. I'll continue to look out for Scorponok. He IS the character I care about after all. What did he do for originally?

Good stuff, hope you enjoy Zarak

Think I paid £135 for scorpy on preorder from Kapow back in the day. I know they replenished the stocks with import stock at £179.99 last time.

Hi guys,

I looked on Hasbro pulse and it said items were out of stock however I went through and ordered the Alpha Trion set and it took my money despite item being unavailable, got an email today saying it has now been collected and with the courier on way to me.

Might be worth a punt trying even if it does say out of stock

Black Zarak arrived yesterday and I'm dead impressed with the detail work on the figure and the new head.

However, it's also a figure that has me looking at it and wondering about my collection a bit. It's kinda put me in an odd headspace, questioning what I want from my collection. I dunno. It's an odd feeling.

More smyths reductions

Ark £90
Speedia Blurr £20
Speedia burnout £20
(sadly no other Speedia discounts yet)

by **skyshadowprimus** » Wed Oct 05, 2022 11:44 am

The ark is now within a price range that I may take a punt on one for, they have several stores with double digit figures that are quite sizeable so I imagine they want shot of them.

Metroplex also down to £189.99 as similarly I do not see stock levels of this moving.

If they do a Tidal Wave or Nemesis titan for 2023 then I think this might improve the sales slightly as the way the price point for titans is shooting up they really need to be a character with some appeal.

Hasbro mustn't have been able to fleece as many collectors as they thought with a few price drops?

£71

Picked up an Ark for £89.99 from Smyths, apart from the mainframe figure and golden disks etc cannot say I'm blown away by this figure. He has little to do in the series and as there is no previous character development of him I am not really that attached.

The transformation feels like a mini-con or legends figure just upscaled but unsure how else you can do a large spacecraft into a robot.

Still quite a few knocking about in Smyths on the shelves and if they do a Nemesis in legacy then I guess they go well in a display.

Game in Loughborough had Starscream coronation version down to £35 but no other real bargains seen anywhere else.

Hi all, it's been quite a while since we last had any news so here I come with some Legacy sightings. Smyths stores have received stock tonight for Skullgrin, Pointblank, Crankcase, Dead End, Inferno and Transmetal II Megatron. Unfortunately no sightings of Starscream yet but he is expected within the next few days (hopefully). Hasbro Pulse has started charging for orders so retailers should get them soon too.
For anyone worried that any of them would be in short supply, as always, Smyths has received full cases for each figure, no assortments here. I wasn't able to find Pointblank before the team doing night shift kicked us out at the end of our shift but he is also in a full case to himself.

To follow on from yesterday, Armada Starscream has now arrived in stores!
We also have a list of Earthspark stuff that will be showing up in stores and Rise of the Beasts figures along with prices

Hi all,
Some new Smyth's listings that I came across in our system a few days ago, I've just been a little busy to post them. Most of them are Legacy Evolution, with it seeming that last year's Twincast listing has now been shifted into this year (although it should be noted that even last year it was listed as TRA GEN LEGACY EV TWINCAST) but maybe something has changed for it to get a new internal reference number. Anyway, the listings are as follows;

TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX WFC BARRICADE
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF7 AIRAZOR
TRA GEN LEGACY EV LDR METAL MEGS PR
TRA GEN LEGACY EV VOY TWINCAST
TRA GEN LEGACY EV VOY METALHAWK
TRA GEN LEGACY EV VOY LIO CONVOY
TRA GEN LEGACY EV VOY TARN
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX JUNKION2
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX CROSSCUT
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX PROWL
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX SHRAPNEL
TRA GEN LEGACY EV SCRAPHOOK
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX HOT SHOT
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX NEEDLENOSE
TRA GEN LEGACY EV DLX BREAKDOWN
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES LDR TF7 OSCAR
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY WFC OPTIMUS
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY TF7 APOLLO
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES VOY TF7 BUTCH
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF7 BUMBLEBEE
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX WFC BUMBLEBEE
TRA CLASSIC HEROES TEAM STARSCREAM
TRA CLASSIC HEROES TEAM MEGATRON GATOR
TRA CLASSIC HEROES TEAM MEGATRON
TRA CLASSIC HEROES TEAM GRIMLOCK
TRA CLASSIC HEROES TEAM OPTIMUS PRIMAL
TRA RBA ALLSTAR OPTIMUS
TRA RBA ALLSTAR BUMBLEBEE
TRA ROTB Masque Bumblebee

I suspect, given their names, the classic heroes might be a rescue bots type thing or maybe some kind of evergreen thing with really basic figures of beloved characters. Interesting that they're doing alligator Megatron for a BW design rather than the more iconic T-rex. Unsure what all-star is though if it's any different to classic heroes. Also, I'm guessing as we don't have any other listings for a Titan or a Commander, or even another Leader, I'd almost be willing to bet wave 2 of Evolution consists of Twincast, Metalhawk, Junkion2, Crosscut, Shrapnel and Prowl. It'd be strange to have wave 3 or 4 listed without wave 2.

Within hours of me posting the last update, it seems Smyths has had an internal update but only one new listing with them was found for TF;
TRA GEN LEGACY EV LDR SKYQUAKE
