    Warrington Comic Con was a bust, couple of junker transformer figures in a couple stalls but nothing too exciting. Cool little gig otherwise though.

    Went to the Cash Converters again though, they still have that Dinosaur King Grimlock figure for £24.99, was again tempted for the dino mode however when I went in they had a "Weijiang Deformation Era Reaver" for £7.19, didn't know anything about the figure but for that price I couldn't resist, here's a pic pulled from google:

    [​IMG]

    Figure is complete and in really good condition, all joints tight, transformation a little tricky but manageable.

    They also had Masterpiece Starscream, not MP-11 the previous one in g1 colours, masterpiece Sunstorm and behind the tills was Unique toys Mania King for about £35? I believe, may have been £39.99 couldn't see it too well.

    In Cash Converters?? On Bridge Street? The street of vomit and closure. I'm gonna have to haul ass over there tomorrow and basically buy all their stuff just for the craic.

    That Goldbug is ace. All of the KO Toyworld Throttlebots are.

    -EDIT- it's the one by The Looking Glass, eh? Beer and 'bots!

    Yesss that very same one, its a place I never thought to check before, my friend just informed me one day he went in and saw a couple of Transformers, seeing as he's not that interested in TF's, only noticing and telling me cause he knew I collect them so I didn't expect much, maybe something silly like a couple of 3 step changers or something similar, but nope, a handful of masterpieces and various 3rd Party figures, definitely keepin my eye out, they had a bunch of other cool collectible stuff too, from LOTR to Star Wars and more. Also shout out to The Looking Glass, my local haha

    Asda Clapham Junction now has Total Lost Kause One-step things. And nothing else but shelf space with price tags for stuff they don't have.

    Form an orderly queue.

    Forbidden Planet in Birmingham yesterday looked to have Titan Master figures up to and including Repugnus and Shuffler as well as legend class Roadburn/Chase and Brawn at £13 (I picked up what looked like the last Brawn) and Sixshot at £55. Nice figure, but reckon it won't be long until that delayed wave makes it to Smyths and the like.

    Sixshot is Wave 3, the wave released here last Christmas. There's been some retail sightings, but not many. Hamleys iirc.

    Wave 4 has come out in between (Brawn/Roadburn, Krok/Quake/Perceptor/Topspin/Kup, Broadside and Sky Shadow). My money is on it being skipped at UK retail due to TLK so Wave 5 (Cosmos/Seaspray, Twin Twisy/Windblade/one of the Decepticon Targetmasters, Octone/Blitzwing, Overlord) is *probably* the next TR Wave we'll see here after TLK blows through c August.

    Speaking of Smyths, there's a voucher on their website for £6 off when you spend £15 or more in store. Valid until Wednesday 31st.

    If you were able to pick up a Shuffler, I'd happily pay cost/P&P for him? (Cheapest I can find online is £13.99!)

    Wish I could help you out but I'm not actually from Birmingham and it's a train ride away for me and I'll probably not be down there for a few weeks. Might also be worth checking with All the Cool Stuff, I got mine from him.

    Anyone in the Glasgow area that thought about checking A1 for Leader Megs, don't bother. Not a move figure in sight.

    Edit: Meant to specify it was the city centre one.
