Oh and remember who UK store TK Maxx first had cheap RID Minicons for £3.99 then they had TR Leaders in the last couple of weeks for £24.99 then they had Sky Lynx & Onslaught CW Voyagers for £12.99 - well they are still at it they have not had even more types of Rescue Bots (including the ones with the trailers that turn into guns) for £12.99 - they also had the RID with Minicons 2 packs and most interestingly of all they now have had TR Voyagers spotted - TR Galvatron in particular so far.
I'd not be surprised if that means they have some Sentinel Prime too.
I'm pretty sure they are getting this stuff from Eastern European sources (as was the Case with Beast Hunters Constructbots too).
Aye it's supposedly the same stuff as Germany

I have seen it before where stores use the same stock number for similar items. Since these are all Transformers Deluxe class, they might all get the same stock number. So it gives you the impression they have Brainstorm when it really means they have Deluxes. I have no idea if that is the case, just a possibility. So hate hunting for figures these days, I don't have time. So I just ordered online. Done.
I stopped by 1 store by my office earlier this evening b/c it supposedly had 2-5 in stock. When I showed up, they only had 2 Mindwipes. I noticed a few by my house also supposedly have it in stock, so I'll be hunting with the 20% off coupon in hand tomorrow.

Hopefully with this it means the stores will slowly roll out new stuff (looking at you wave 2 deluxes)

You would think that, remember Braingate? How he appeared at Walmart despite him being exclusive to Walgreens? It's all due to his product code, a combination of the assortment and product numbers: despite being exclusive, he has the general retail assortment number, and a product code that's in sequence with wave 1.

I have Terribul on my Wolfwire right now. I wouldn't say it's great but might be worth checking out.

He was one of the ones I was planning on picking up too - well, truth be told, I'm planning on picking up everyone but Crashbash. Thanks for the advice!

I know you've got one answer already, but I like the way Apeface looks on Wolfwire's robot mode. I kinda feel the same way, so I got an extra Apeface to paint and match up. Pictures may come. Eventually.
On the suggestion of Terri-Bull, I'm having a small issue - The second I decided I wanted to pick him up I couldn't find him any more.I'll probably grab him off Amazon at some point, but I don't have Prime shipping. Bleh. This is the second or third time this exact situation has happened to me, the other two (that I can remember, could have been more) were a Marvel Legends Spider-Man (the one with the pizza) ans TF Prime Soundwave. Got them later, paid too much for both, but they were both worth it.

I'd be getting him off Amazon, but...
£9 for a Titan Master
America has free 2-day shipping so you shouldn't need Prime.
Apeface does sound nice, and as a toy I've heard he's one of the best TMs anyway.

What, in general? Only if you order $50 worth of stuff or more. I'd do that, but I barely have enough for MP Primal right now and have to save up. Apeface is fun though, I ordered the Takara Laserbeak who comes with him, and that Apeface is really nicely painted - they even got his little titan master faceplate silver. The deeper blue (purple? Sorry, I'm colorblind) and red eyes in head mode look a bit better too. He is a nice little toy on his own.

You're luckier than I am. I tried 2 stores and struck out. Their online inventory system is entirely unreliable. I'll be ordering it online.

So here is what I did. They have a 15% off coupon online (HELLOTHERE) for new customers. It does not exclude TFs. I ordered 2 Brainstorms and added a couple bucks worth of filler to get free shipping. After tax, it was $39. I'll probably end up returning one of the Brainstorms. It's a bit of work, and I would rather have paid $17.99 in store like some of the folks from this forum, but that wasn't an option for me, and I'm just glad to end the hunt. Oh, I also will get a 2% online rebate via Mr. Rebates (this adds up).

Bummer, I missed that 15% off for new customers when I did it yesterday. Oh well, not going to cancel my order for $6. Especially since I'd need to buy something else too. I ordered 2, but one is for a friend.

Walgreens doesn't have a huge presence out west. Or at least in the L.A. area.

There isn't one within walking distance of my apartment since I moved, actually. There are a couple nearby if I take public transportation (I don't have a car), but being a poor art college student I don't always want to pay the extra $5 to get there. Fortunately I got the SDCC Brainstorm (which I prefer color wise, closer to MTMTE) so I don't need to go hunting.

I think it's still cheaper to buy 1 from Walgreens.com, and pay the shipping and tax. Probably comes out to about $30. Even better if you can add stuff you need to buy anyway for free shipping. Don't know who would actually get it from BBTS.

I sadly do not like the look of Takaras, so I am probably going to end up spending a fortune on this, or can get an American friend of mine to buy one and send it to me unpackaged, which would mean money (money I do not have)
