    Cgrats, it was all Roadbusters and a single Skybyte earlier this week. But that might help us identify the Doubledealer case.

    Still not seen a Brainstorm in either B&M in Pig Hill.

    Received the a TRU catalogue through the post yesterday. Apart from including a very handy voucher for £5 off a £15 or more spend it also included an offer on RID TFs, Buy 1 get 2nd half price.

    Non TF related - they also have 3 for 2 on all WWE toys.

    Great Yarmouth B&M had Leader Jetfire knocked down a bit to £24.99.

    The Entertainer in Norwich finally had AoE Voyager Galvatron and Hound in. And even better they were on offer at £13.80 each rather than the usual £23. Also picked up AoE One-Step Strafe for £5. No sign of One-Step Megatron unfortunately. Still one Galvatron and Hound left on the shelves, plus two Strafes and a Prowl.

    What happened with Norwich Langleys Toys? I knew they were always slightly more pricey on some things, but £16.99 for a CW Dlx and £12.99 for an RID One-Step!? Seriously, c'mon. Don't even risk a heart attack by looking at the prices of their Lego.
    I got one of those vouchers and put it towards CW Prowl, Sunstreaker, Mirage and Ironhide. I also queried the price ticket of the peg they were on declaring Generations Deluxes to be £11.99 since when I got to the till the CW Deluxes rang up as £15.99 each (the £11.99 probably just applied to old AoE Gen Dlx stock or something, but I pointed out to the staff that it does say 'Generations' on the CW Dlx packaging). They readjusted the price. Plus even though the buy one get one half price offer says it's only for RID, the system also applied it to my CW purchases. So along with the voucher I eventually paid just under £31 total for Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker and Mirage. :)

    Holy shizzle - I have no branches near to me that I can get to in the near future. Here's hoping they turn up on their website or Ebay store at those prices...

    An Entertainer just opened up near me in Bradford! Of TF interest, they had the big Devestator Kre-O set with the bonus Ironhide, the Silver Knight Optimus/FoC Grimlock two-pack, Thrilling 30 Legends Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime, Deluxe Protectobots, and the regular RiD stuff.

    Orbital comics is a veritable bonanza. Best TF shop ever! All the United warriors are in for those that want. Under 100 too (please correct if I'm wrong mcluskyism)

    They had a new primal, not that it's my bag!

    Just read on one of the facebook groups that I'm part of that someone managed to pick up Gen Springer and Brainstorm up from their local B&M for £6 each.

    Anyone else spotted this at all?

    Nope, not yet. Would be great, though. I wonder if they were just marked down for some reason, like damaged boxes. If they do get widely discounted, I will be getting a spare Roadbuster and Brainstorm. :)

    Spotted CW Starscream at Forbidden Planet Bristol. Looks good and essential to my collection, but just got Thunder Cracker ( at reduced price) and can't justify another straight repaint at £50

    looks like they're in the "Christmas Countdown" offers. damn annoyed i paid full price for slog a couple of weeks ago now :(  Not bothered about Heli drift and I have Hound already but that price does make the butt-ugly Galvatron more tempting

    If it's any consolation, I just got back from the Cwmbran store and they didn't have them. I would have picked you up a Hound, as you mentioned him before, but all they had was Drift, Sludge galore and three Sandstorms. B&M had a Roadbuster for each time he didn't appear in the cartoon.
