    Ugh, they only had Ravage from W2 (so I picked up a Stripes with the BOGOF)... but annoyingly, the plastic on Ravage's face isn't molded properly, so a bit of his nose is missing! Time to get the Milliput out!

    Well, between last night and this morning I picked up two sets of the three wave 2 legends - one set for me, and one set for a mate's birthday as he's going to get himself TR Soundwave - all in the BOGOF so roughly a fiver each. Not bad at all.

    He's also hoping to venture to TRU next week to get me TR Hot Rod and Triggerhappy for my birthday in January. Tis the season!

    Teesside Park Toys R Us Have Wave 3...at £16.99. Gits. Still got me a Triggerhappy and Twinferno. They had all of them hidden just in the front etrance with the small RID display there. Looks like they had 4 hot rods, 1 Twinferno and Triggerhappy and 1 Getaway when I left.

    Just picked up most of wave 3 deluxes, Gnaw and wave 3 titan masters from Orbital, thanks @mcluskyism :) 

    Thankfully Sixshot was sold out so I wasn't tempted...

    found a lone TR Breakaway in Watford TRU, and scanned at 16.99 at the till.

    I asked 2 TRU personnel where they could have stacked the other Titans Return deluxes because all I could see were the usual RIDs and other old transformers. One lady said they're in the back, along with the other Power Rangers...

    :( :eek:  Sometimes, I wonder why I bother asking... :confused: :confused:

    I made the trip to Govan TRU, no Titans return deluxes. :( 
    Asked the woman and she checked in the back to no avail. Couldn't find a Black Sixshot knock off in B&M or Sky-Lynx at TK Maxx. Pretty shitty day overall really.

    I'll let you know if they've restocked when I'm back in on Saturday.

    I'm still hoping to see a Sky Lynx at TK Maxx as well :( 

    edit: Did get a Loudmouth from the Asda at the weekend though, it did seem like a new set of titan masters.

    TRU Brent Cross had feck all worth mentioning - at least if you're after Wave 3. Just odd how a crap-Hole like Old Kent Road actually had a load of them on Saturday and a big, proper Store like this has nada. Went looking for a Wave 2 Rumble in the Tescos over the road without any luck.

    Did manage to get Gnaw and Bee in Orbital so all good on that front. Sixshot aside Orbital still has a good stock of Wave three in but can't see it lasting till the weekend - although they have the Country's biggest stockpile of Getaway if anyone is finding it hard to track that traitorous bastard down.

    Yep, I popped in there just after 1 and grabbed my stuff, no Gnaws left out though, bets that people are troop building? So glad Sixshot wasn't in stock anymore, I spent enough there as it is!

    Cardiff sucks. Not a sniff of wave 3 in TRU or Smyth's. Wave 1 Titan Masters £5.99 in Asda.

    Gah! I meant Viper, not Rattler. You can see how that would confuse the stressed and overworked, can't you?

    I meant that since you managed to find CW legends in a b&m I would try to find a Powerglide in the 2 B&Ms near me. :) 
    If you mistook my post as an offensive one, I apologise. :( :( :(

    No,no,no, I apologise. A poorly quoted post. You did nowt wrong, old chap. I thought I would quote your post that quoted mine in an attempt to correct my Rattler/Viper error. Sorry if I freaked you out.

    Good luck finding Powerglide. :)

    Not one but three different waves in there!

    CW Legends Wave 5 (sold with the Combaticons): Shockwave, Pipes, Buzzsaw & Chopshop - still on the shelves in many places.

    CW Legends Wave 3 (sold with the Protectobots): Groove, Warpath & Viper - this case never made it to the UK but Mr Nevermore found Viper at German retail. Groove & Warpath were also in the Wave 4 case.

    CW Legends Wave 4 (sold with the first Autobot wave): Skywarp
