    Yes, but so are most their toys and products in general. Their toys were not far off full retail i found. Look enough and you do find bargains(clothes) but the assumption that all of their stuff are great prices should be squished.

    Which store is this? TRU or Smyths? Smyths still has a listing for wave 5 deluxes and Slugslinger.

    It's almost like someone's overcompensating for underpricing Leader PMOP & Blaster! :p

    Two more Sainsburys and no TR at all, let alone a Slugslinger.

    Going to put this one down to SkyLinx Syndrome - there may be about 10 in the Country somewhere but I won't see one.

    And yes £120 for Max in TKs is too much when you can get one online or at Kapow for a Ton.

    @wildfly if you mean regular retail no one has seen it but given what people on here usually say you could try a forbidden planet store if there's one near you .



    Also forgot to mention yesterday that the tlk deluxes were on sale in Argos as well the voyagers were £24 and the deluxes were £18

    About £6.25 or so with the current sale. I originally bought one from Amazon.com for a bit more, but I like it enough to not really regret it :)

    Yeah, plenty of Movie wave 1 dregs and one step type thingies, plus a single RID Twinferno. That was the Wandsworth Big Sainsburys about an hour ago.

    One of the least useful sighting posts you'll read today: As expected, no sign of Slugslinger in Andover Sainsbury's. They did have the TLK Legion Megatron (and sundry others - I didn't look) and some one steps (don't ask me which characters, I didn't look).

    Debenhams isn’t the only place for legion dragonstorm currently, if you have a toyworld (always got them mixed up with toymaster) near you then try them also. Don’t know many stores across the uk they have though.

    I had mentioned this few pages ago though beginning of October, it was a full new case they put out which from what I could see looked like megs and dragonstorm were the only new molds
