    Have I missed a cheap Trypticon? Loads of folk on the FB groups seem to have been getting him.

    Possibly, I think at least one of the fellas I've seen on FB got a sub-£100 Amazon (£80 or so IIRC) Tryptie for £40-ish due to having £40 Amazon vouchers, looks like he's back up to £112 on there now though.

    Although the recent Sainsbury's toy sale has now ended, some TF stuff continued on in discount, Energon Igniters Power and Power Plus figures being part of that (plus TLK One-Steps for £5), so it's well worth a look in case any stock is left. Better to pay £12 for Shatter with the Igniter engine than the usual £15.99.
    That said, Dropkick is almost the same mold, just a different colour and with a different chest/head flap and minus the Igniter for only £8.25 (instead of £11) if there's still remaining stock of the Sainsbury's sale stuff and you simply want an example of that mold.

    Just a note to say that although the charge Bumblebee figure is in Tesco (£47), remember that a lot is bought in for the sale/black Friday, so bear in mind he will plummet in price in a few weeks time if he stays there...

    Adding to my earlier post about some of the TF in Sainsbury's still being on discount after the toy sale ended, I went in there today to see the Power and Power Plus Energon Igniters have been discounted even further. Power ones are now down to £7.33 each and Power Plus are £10.67. Get them before they go!
    Unfortunately the Nitro Igniters are back up to £24.

    TkMaxx knaresborough had the rid deluxe soundwave wave along with the Windblade, twinferno and strongarm,
    And the combiner bee.

    Got that soundwave few years back, really good figure so might be worth checking your locals if you after him for 12.99

    I was in the Bury St. Edmunds Branch of ASDA this morning and they had the old RID One step 6 pack on the shelf for an outlandish £60.00, Might be worth keeping an eye out for a sale if the Optimus in that set was something anyone needed (luckily I found one at a Carboot sale already). But it's a good idea to make a note of the items that are quite likely to go on sale this is one of them i'd say.

    Oh and the Boulder and Bee Rescue Bot sets are being sold by clearance sellers on ebay for half price now if anyone was waiting for the prices to come down on those to get the minicons.

    I'm looking for the Bumblebee with the dogs or he giant Hotshot in the UK - but no luck so far. The Optimus RB toy with the 2 Dinosaur Minicons is creeping down in price - but I think I can safely wait until they are giving that one away on the cheap like Night Watch Bumblebee is on eBay now (regularly only about £12.00 and he comes with a couple of Dragon Rescue Minicons).

    Curiously I also noticed that there is a single carded version of the dog that changes to a Motorcycle now too. I wish they'd make some more new ones - Hopefully they won't give up on the idea when they transition to more Rescue Bot Academy items.

    I saw that Hun-grrr and Elita were in stock in the Aberdeen store today. Went there to find they weren’t on the shelves. A staff member checked the very top shelf and took them from there. There’s no shelf labels for them but they went through the checkouts as themselves.

    Anyone been in Home Bargains recently? One of my friends has just texted me to say he's see a large boxed item in the Bury branch for £29.99. Taking this with a small pinch of salt but it is Silly Season and Home Bargains have had some TFs recently. So if anyone wants to swing by their local branch and take a peak and get some pictures ....

    If you do a snap of the import label would be useful.....

    EDIT 15:37: Just had this verified, awaiting pictures

    EDIT 15:50 Yup, Home Bargains have Chaos on Velocitron for £29.99

    I’m only after the nautica and quickswitch as paid over the odds for the prime individually! The nearest home bargains to me is still a trek but worth trying for that at that price!
