    well i first thought the leader class studio series figures were £80 but apparently there only £60 which i think are great prices and yeah the last knight figures were waaay over priced the only voyager worth spending £33 on is megatron i cant tell you how much i love that toy

    Me too if they get applied to Generations.

    Nothing new or interesting in the Wandsworth Entertainer. Nor do I expect there to be.

    When the fudge are Wave 1 deluxes expected to land wider than just Smyths? Or is this breaking it gently to me that Smyths have done a TRU (RIP) and snaffled them as "exclusives?"

    Things'll get so overpriced only the bargain shops will buy them. The value of patience will emerge again.

    It's the final weekend for TRU in the UK :( 

    I feel I should pay them one last visit. But suspect shelves will be bare. Have been enjoying the TLK deluxe Megatron I got last time at least.

    They've posted a list of when the remaining stores are closing:

    Dont go it’ll be depressing. Just remember it in its prime ( no pun intended) when it was the greatest place you could go.

    I went to Basildon TRU today. Most of it was cordoned off, very little on those shelves still accessible. Even trolleys were for sale!

    The mood wasn't sad though: the staff sang along to the in-store music and were even dancing on the tills. A bittersweet end to the franchise! ;)

    If anyone fancies egregiously abusing their wallet there are these at Milton Keynes Smyths. These prices are outrageous imo.

    For a few quid more, you can get the OS KO with a lot better paint apps.

    Which also won't be compatible with any titan masters, unless the few OS knock offs are oversized to exactly the same degree as Nitro.

    Quite a few Smyth's have got Studio Series Deluxes in stock now. Have a look. Stinger and Bumblebee are in some stores, one each, I'm too tired to look any more, been ill.

    Skullsmasher's head is a bit angles so it sits loose unless you use it sideways. The others are a perfect fit. Ares Nitrogen's heads are a bit tight in the OSKO headmasters - but they will fit on them too - can be a bit tight on Skullsmasher - but fit fine on Highbrow.. The others are out real soo so other options will be available there too.

    Oh and I just managed to find a Legion Twinferno in Bury St. Edmunds Sainsbury's for £6.00 - Unfortunately no Heatseeker or Cyclonus.

    Does anyone think we'll get Cyber Battalion Shockwave here before I spend 30-40 quid on him? x.x

    Quite possible he shows up. Entertainer did get the Prime and Prowl this year, just as other places where Shockwave has been seenso he could show up.

    It's funny how Studio Series is marginally cheaper than Premier Edition.

    Popped into Bristol Galleries Entertainer about an hour ago. They still have TR Leaders @ £29.99 (Sixshot & Blackshadow)... but now they also have wave 1 POTP Leaders @ £39.99! They had a couple of OP and 4x Roddy.
    Not a bad price!
