    Not sure if this has been picked up on before but Amazon UK have Wave 2 Studio Series Voyagers and deluxes up for varying prices, Megatron is just over £30, Jazz £22, Lockdown £24 and Brawl £35, rather bizarrely.

    Yup, And with the Novastar listing being dropped from their website and Wave 2 Deluxes appearing in-(some)stores with spartan-seeming online stock, it's not looking good for the Collector-focussed line on UK store shelves, is it?

    I said I wouldn't buy any more tfs for a while after TF Nation. Then I picked up TR Wingspan on a Facebook sales post. But that's it. Until I grabbed POTP Inferno from Smyths crown point Leeds. But that's it for now....I'm pretty sure...

    For anyone in Great Yarmouth, Kerrison Toys had PotP Grimlock and Inferno £23.99 each, Studio Series Stinger and Ratchet £19.99 each and Cyberverse Warrior Optimus and Bumblebee £15.99 each. Might've also been a Starscream too now I come to think about it.
    That also means their Norwich branch might have them too. Or you can get them sent over from the other branch.

    And the 'meh'-ness of Yarmouth Asda continues as they finally get some new TF in and it's Cyberverse One-Step Bumblebee, Soundwave and Blurr. So actually STILL nothing new since they're all reused molds I already own. *sigh*

    New stock in Asda Bedminster at long last. It’s been months since anything new on shelf.
    Here’s some 1 Step changers

    Went to Sainsbury’s in Worle, Weston-super-Mare and they’d just put these Cyberverse on shelf. The shop assistant was annoyed about my looking and buying them!?!… Oh well, never mind. Just my good timing

    The same hit my local Asda last week. And today I found them in Tesco too.

    This doesn't bode well...

    Have lived in Weston for 12 years and that Sainsbury’s never has anything new close to the launch of a new line of Transformers, and this is the line they choose to jumps in on FFs.

    Say hello to the handful of TF figures that are going to be 90% of what people can find in stores for the next year.

    I used to be down that place so much, used to be able to fly down the M6/M5 to get there in half an hour, but between the work on the motorway nearby and the long delays, plus the closure of TRU by junction 2, I haven't been there in ages. Shame, as it's a decent store.

    Just found these today in crayford Sainsburys. At least it’s something new I guess.

    Also found deluxe Shockwave in both Sainsburys and Smyths

    TFs-a-plenty at Newcastle Forbidden Planet, who are stocking them for the first time since they moved into the new shop* - Lots of TR & POTP Deluxes and Voyagers.

    * - it's still 90% empty space, with most of the remaining 10% taken up by Funko Pop figures, sigh
