    If anyone in the St Helens area wants Tripty Smyths on the retail park have just the one. I say if you want trypticon in a box that has been dropped from a plane as is it passed over Widnes, kicked all the way down the bypass then punched into a shelf space half its size to make it fit then St Helens is the branch for you! Still I got the last Computron there which had a squished corner and took the 5% discount the manager offered...

    Ugh. Didn't go to Pitsea Tesco fast enough, so managed to snag Bludgeon but missed out on Thermidor. Hope to catch him either there next time or if he shows up at my local Smyths for double the price... :(

    Beaumont Leys Leicester Tesco has Bludge/Therm/Twinf on the shelves. £10 is proper good value too, it's the sort of price we paid for deluxes 15 years ago.

    I like the new head on Therm, but it's a shame the arms and legs are silver rather than the pale blue on the stock photo on the back.

    Glad I did:

    100_4065.JPG

    (Dunno what happened to the front on shot)

    Proves the benefit of going back to stores and going regularly.

    From 0 to 8, so that's almost certainly a full case.

    Four repacks - Op, Strongarm, BB, Grimlock

    100_4066.JPG

    Four new toys: 2 Twinferno, 1 Thermidor, 1 Bludgeon

    100_4067.JPG

    I can see the logic, Twinferno is the new mould here and Thermidor & Bludgeon are repaints ...... but instinct says those two are going to be more popular just cos Bludgeon is Bludgeon and we didn't get Bisk.

    Bludgeon's orange is a bit pale and the re should be burgundy, almost brown but apart from that it's near perfect.

    How hard can it be to get a child on the spectrum to smile happily with a photo so people can know he's pleased with his toys?

    VERY.

    No Thermidor or Twinferno in Reading Tescos (Napier Rd).

    Finally found TR Legends Brawn at TRU. They also have TLK Leaders and TR Deluxe wave 4.

    Also noticed those bouncing ball heads figures in those £1 machines near the exit. Took a pic but Photobucket isn't letting me upload to this site.

    This is what they look like though for those who haven't heard of them before.

    Tescos New Malden also had the Brawn Legends wave (4) for £11

    I skipped Roehampton ASDA this morning but a friend tells me by text he's found £6 Legends wave 4 in his!

    Pentwyn Asda had TLK voyagers (wave 1) reduced to £16ish which is a bargain for that fantastic Optimus. They also had TR Titan Masters for £3.50 and I cleared them out as there were only 3 left.

    The only RID Figures I've ever wanted are Stormshot and Blastwave/Bludgeon so naturally I've never actually seen them in the wild and that streak continues with no Bludgeon in either Streatham or Old Kent Road Tesco's. And of course somebody would find Him in the Tesco's I stopped bothering with long ago because of how fucking useless it was.

    Thanks Tesco's.

    Which TMs were they, Joe? Still hoping for Sawback or Shuffler in the UK.

    Forbidden planet has had them both, their price for the titan masters isn't anymore expensive then retail either.

    Sadly, all the FPs in my vicinity are the Sh**e "Other" FPs and usually have bugger all TF-wise.

    Ah, fair enough. Are you coming to TFN? I could take a look in the London one for you next week.
