Where did you pick him up? Bricks and Mortar or on the Web?

Got him in person at Smyths in Cardiff - I just had a look at their website, they only have a few stores across the country. Most seem to be in Northern Ireland and Greater London, with quite a few opening soon.

My local one , in Borehamwood has just shut, a forced closure as a supermarket has bought the retail park they were situated in.

I was fortunate enough to get a pre-order in with "Toyz & Gamez" for the whole of wave 1, saving me a lot of fuel in pointless hunting trips!

Out of interest how much were they charging?

£9.99

I was particularly happy cos I was thinking I would probably cave in and get one at my local Forbidden Planet (and so pay more), but no sign of them there yet.

There's been a few reports of these at £9.99, I was under the impression that the "RRP" for a deluxe was £12.99? I wonder what the HFTD line will land at.

I'm wondering if H'UK view the Generations stuff as a low seller and have priced it accordingly?

Its probabaly more likely that the shops are having a hard time shifting things due to the glut of ROTF stuff so are pricing to not make things too much more expensive than the main lines they have.

I think hasbro uk did say the SRSP should be £14.99 or £12.99 i think

anyways the PCC's are starting to filter out to the Smyths and Siansburys.

bought the first 2 of the 5 packs, they are god dmaned aweful.

On the Argos issue I checked Forbidden Planet last week and they had Voyager Long Haul as due August 15th. Given that Argos are using his pic in the catalogue you assume they will stock him (!) so I'm hoping they will get him in around the same time.

On the TRU comments, my local one in Leeds is just the same. I asked their "action figure specialist" on Monday why they hadn't had any new ones and he mentioned something about not selling new ones till old ones had gone. By that reckoning they'll never get any in!

If you want Generations try Asda Living if you have one nearby, thats where I got Drift and Thrust on Tuesday. They set me back 12.99 each I believe.

I think you might have misread that m8

Im off to Vegas in Sept so anything I can't get locally before then I will pick up over there. Mainly after the Generations stuff and maybe Long Haul though I have laid of the ROTF releases in general.

What an idiot! I went to Asda today and picked up Drift, passed on Thrust. I was absolutely convinced it would be a waste of time visiting the toy aisle so I was dumbfounded when I saw one, yes ONE, of each.

Are you trying to make us hate you?

Not many toy shops in Vegas, though itll plug a few holes in your collection as they have some older stuff in the few shops they do have

Cool, there is a TRU I think.

Don't take any clothes, just hand luggage and an empty suitcase

@Mykltron:Glad you got your hands on Drift!
