Greetings Seibertronians! We've got a round up of sightings for those who live in the UK. Courtesy of fellow Seibertron user, blackeyedprime, we've learned that all of the Bumblebee Greatest Hits Toys featured in the Argos catalogue and its online store has received price cuts! This means that you can grab the repaint (and slight retool) of Titans Returns Soundwave for just £19.99! Also the set featuring his three legend sized minions and the one step Bumblebee is now just £8.99. More bargains including price cuts on Power Charge Bumblebee can be found here
On the Cyberverse front, the range of Spark Armour figures is also available including Ark Power Optimus Prime (who is listed at being £47. Currently Starscream with Construction Vehicle is the only one at the £16 price point, with additional listings for Elite Optimus Prime With Jet Armor (for £24) and Elite Bumblebee with Battleship armor (Also £24)
On the Siege front, a listing has appeared for Springer on Symths.con, retailing for the normal voyager price of £23.99 and due for release in August.
Yours truly has also found a listing on Amazon.co.uk for the forthcoming Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Fan Vote 3 pack, featuring Autobot Mirage (with different head and cast on blue translucent plastic), Autobot Aragon (a redeco of Weaponizer Cog with new head) and Decepticon Impactor (with a new IDW inspired head. The set is listed for £65, and means UK fans won't have to miss out getting these figures.
Are you a UK fan who is planning on jumping on one of these? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

The first is a sighting from fellow Seibertron user, blackeyedprime and concerns Movie Masterpiece 08, Transformers 2007 Megatron. Forbidden Planet stores are now stocking him and he's available from their website for the price of £140.
Looking for Siege Wave 3? Then fellow Seibertron user, CyclonusG1 has you covered. According to him, several listings have been updated for wave three on the Symths website, announcing that they'll appear in stores in mid August, so those hunting in-store won't have to wait long to get their three Reflecktors. Each costs £16.99. Check the listings below:

Is there anyone in the UK that lives near an Argos who could pick up this set and send it to The Netherlands? I'd be very greatful!

Personally I fall into the category of not going from cel shading decos as a fixed light source base deco doesn't really work when displayed in other light sources but it's worth spreading the word for any UK fans who want these. Though will we now start to see an increase in UK exclusives between the few retailers we have?

The painted wheels really dont go with her set mates but I'd still need the other two from a mold I'm not that in to.

Pros: It's £20 so its cheaper than Lancer and not costing much more then a retail deluxe.
Cons: alt mode still looks like a suppository on wheels.

Bluestreaks probably going to sell a lot more units than she does as he will go with the other carbots and doesnt have any out of place colored panels like some of the other cars do, as well as not being a niche character.

I dont think anyone had exclusitivity and Kapow/ID just imported them rather being uk stock which would hopefully explain the inflated £33-£35 price tag on her.

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9337774, a listing for Cyberverse Spark Armour Ratchet. Asking price £16.99
Posted by blackeyedprime on August 2nd, 2019 @ 7:50am CDT
********hunt alert siege voyager optimus at £10 clearance or missprice at smyths (not that the ones near me have any*********
Sideswipe £1
Soundwave £10 (cheltenham instore 2 at time of posting))
Cog £5 (barnsley instore 2 at time of posting)
final edits, and this is why paying £79 for a jetfire is freaking nuts, if stores actually stocked figures and sold them a bit cheaper in the first place then they wouldnt have to do crazy clearance prices on ranges (which are damn current)that they are no longer supporting.
Another edit:
Omega listing at £140 too

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

@symths shouldn't the wording be "For every twenty pound worth of Transformers, get five pound off"?
Posted by CyclonusG1 on August 6th, 2019 @ 11:44am CDT
An attitude like this is why my time at the company is limited.
Posted by blackeyedprime on August 8th, 2019 @ 10:22am CDT
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.

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:

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
Posted by ZeroWolf on August 19th, 2019 @ 3:21pm CDT
So the arcade renegades have landed in blighty eh?
Posted by blackeyedprime on August 19th, 2019 @ 3:33pm CDT
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.

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).

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)

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.
