    Just popped in toys r us in Norwich and they had 4 Tryptions, 3 TLK Cybertrons (nice but I'll wait for a sale) both TLK leader megatron and prime, 4 of each. A load of RID stuff, the latest wave of warriors, some 2 packs not sure the class but one has Soundwave and a minicon? Some TR Broadsides back at full price, TR twinferno and a few of his way. Legends bee, brawn, chop shop and the red bee cant remember his name. They had a good selection for once both at the front of the store and the normal isle.

    Oh btw received my TR Arcee today and she has 2 left hands.... if anyone has 2 right hands and would like to swap one PM me, thought I'd ask first before nabbing one of Hasbros blurr's and painting it white haha.

    TRU Old Kent Road has moved some TFs back to the front of the store again but sadly it's still just the remains of TR Wave 4 (including Quake if anyone needs?) and TLK Wave 1 plus the Voyagers and Leaders which will rot there until Kingdom Come, or the next Film whichever is going to arrive first.

    A ton of TR Broadside and one single RID Twinferno in the usual Aisle and that's yer lot. No Trypticon - which I still haven't seen in an actual shop yet.

    Maybe I'm getting miserable in my old age but the selection didn't seem so good when I was in there on Monday. I was tempted by that RID Soundwave with the MiniCon (Activators?), but not at £24.99. I also didn't fancy shelling out £33 for TR Broadside even though he did look pretty neat. I did buy Brawn and Roadburn, but only because I've never come across them anywhere else and Brawn has a special place in my heart as the G1 figure was my first ever TF. Pity there wasn't a Seaspray. Still resented that £12.99 price though. Don't want to pay £17.99 for RID Deluxes either.
    The selection probably was okay, but the prices these days just sour my perception.

    I was going to check out the new Smyths for the first time until I realised it's the other side of Norwich to where I live (I'm on the East coast). That was a bummer to discover. Maybe another day when I can be arsed to drive all the way out there and back.

    I live near Dartford in Kent, So nearest large Tescos is Lakeside and that means going on the stupid M25.

    Try the smaller metro type tescos, the ones big enough to have a small toy section. Thats where i see stocks of legions lying around...

    Amazon.com have TR Slugslinger in stock and ships to the UK. Works out around £35 total but the import tax was £0 so the import tax deposit which was £6 I should get bk. Even if I don't 35 is the same price IDtoys had him up for without p&p.

    Saw TLK Mission to Cybertron Optimus 2-pack and Primus/Cybertron in TRU Lakeside. Has the 2 pack been seen in the UK before?

    Not really a sighting/ news but the toys r us on Helen street had their display set up with artwork that matches those simplified/ cyberverse leaks from a couple of weeks ago. The exact same artwork as the Optimus, bumblebee, starscream and megatron boxes. Guess they probably are legit then.

    I saw shelf tickets in Tesco Highwoods for All spark tech starter pack for £35, and individual figures for about £20, I think. No actual product on the shelf, or I would have taken a picture.

    Have a look about for a separate TLK cardboard shelving unit because I think I saw some of those figures today in the Great Yarmouth Tesco. Weirdly the cardboard shelving was two aisles over from the toy section so it might be the same for yours.
