Well, what with the reveal of Hardhead, seems like Hasbro are slowly doing all the headmasters. Which means I should pick up a Brainstorm and then my toyworld Fort Max can have all his crew. Now, where's my nearest B&M?

[Stuartmaximus]

Spotted Doubledealer at B&M, Govan, Glasgow! Unfortunately I've already got one! & still no sign of Brainstorm, but I've a few other B&M ' s to check in other areas!

Btw TRU, Govan have Rhinox, SkyBite, Whirl & Roadbuster in! although no sign of those Platinum Edition range yet

Meanwhile Wilko & Home Bargains have Construct Bots Hound in(it's the one that comes with the arms micron type figure)

Also.....your photo size restriction is pish! or I would've uploaded a pic of my find(i did try & downscale it but it was still saying it was too big).

[RAR]

The wilko/Wilkinsons that Had a Bulkhead Constructbot now has sold all of them and has Lockdown instead.

I think that someone managed to screw the info out of B&M that the Deluxes they are expecting include Transformers Prime Deluxes for £7.99
But if they had them before many months ago that may be a staff misunderstanding.

I'm still really surprised that stores like Home Bargains, Family Bargains, Poundstretcher, or The Original Factory Shop have not got the Generations Voyagers as yet.

But at least Wilko/Wilkinson does now so they might provide some other options - so far my local store just has Roadbuster though. (other people seem to see Whirl too)... So keep your fingers crossed for the more interesting ones there too.

I would also suggest using the "E-mail me when in stock" option on TRU's website and maybe asking them if they can stock online some of the items they have in some of the stores too.

That might help - Also it might be worth begging The Entertainer to add the full selection of AOE Voyagers to their online options too, even if they add them at a higher price they are sure to be on sale eventually.

That's one of the reasons why I caved and picked up a Brainstorm (that and the MTMTE comics run).

Kapow Toys had him on offer for £20 so the deal was done!

[ZeroWolf]

That is a pretty sweet deal. Wish I had the money for the cut priced voyagers in toys r us

[Stuartmaximus]

HE'S ARRIVED!(moderators take note)

You have to use the news form, should be a link in the main bar.

Alternatively create a new topic in the toy news section

I was in there on Sunday, no sign of him then.

I did! But I guess it's not newsworthy yet! + this Titan Wars info is dominating everything at the mo

[ZeroWolf]

Plus you have to give them time to work

Aye. That was what I was implying.

[TheGlynreaper]

well luckily for me when I went to a b and m's near the Trafford centre I spotted a few brainstorms in stock so I picked one up so now I only need doubledealer to complete the generations voyager waves and since im going to the store again on Saturday I may get lucky since the brainstorms were new on the shelf

there is also a few jetfires in stock but im getting one for Christmas along with a few other transformers stuff which is why I have to be careful even when I go to toys r us now since I always do get spoiled at christmas

[Stuartmaximus]

Christmas has come early! first Brainstorm & Doubledealer....then Ultra Magnus & now this!

Which stores though? And which line?

It's not that newsworthy in general, I'm afraid. We did receive the email, but given the single sighting (unless someone else corroborates) and the fact that both Legends and Generations have been out for a while in the rest of the world, the UK falls behind in the news cycle. Again.

Thank you for notifying us on here though!

[TheGlynreaper]

okay I admit I skipped on the combiner wars thing since it felt too much of a hassle to get them all but there are some individuals im after including ultra magnus and cyclonus

a few weeks back 3 I think I visited toys r us in warrington where they had a few hot spot and cyclonus figures in along with them rip off platinum edition seeker sets for £90

oh and I have spotted wave 2 of the deluxe class robots in disguise figures but I passed on them

I only get figures I really really want now since I collect other things too
but with how Hasbro is now its no wonder my little pony has taken over as number 1 franchise that's being focused on

[Stuartmaximus]

Which stores though? And which line?

Doesn't say! which line? it's Wave 4! Ironhide, Mirage, Sunstreaker & Prowl

Not newsworthy? well it's newsworthy to us brits! seeing as we're finally getting those figuresfigures

+ saying that they've been out in the rest of the world & that we've fallen behind in the news cycle almost feels descriminative against us brits!(now I'm not saying YOUR being descrimintive! just that Hasbro has......by not releasing those figures ALSO in the UK at the same time as the rest of the world).

[ZeroWolf]

This is the way of the world though, we haven't been that important to hasbro for a long time. Sad state of affairs but maybe tfs just don't sell that well to kids in the uk

Well it doesn't help when the place is flooded with Star Wars

[ZeroWolf]

Agreed, but I don't know how to suggest a better system then we have currently unless TF suddenly become insanely popular.

Interesting though that they do seem to be more popular in bargain shops.

Friend of mine works in the notts tru. He confirmed 4 magnus came in on Monday.

But if us getting new figures is not newsworthy, then no country getting a release should be newsworthy. You can't pick and choose on a multi national board. Either everyone gets coverage, or no one does. We are just as important as the Americans!

Exactly spot on, the uk release of combiner wars ultra magnus is front page news over at tfworld2005. Considering its one of the major figures in the line it should be newsworthy
