    Fiver each. I spotted a lone Skullgrin, besides multiple Submarauder & Landmine. It's possible there was a Metalhawk in there too but I just grabbed what I wanted, as some of the cards were flipped in such a way that the within figure wasn't obvious and I didn't inspect them further having filled my needs.

    This was a small out of town branch (Tilehurst, if anyone's counting :)  )

    Cheers,

    Holy shit the idea of getting TFs from my local Co-Op is pretty sweet. No toys there at all at the moment!

    Many years ago they were the first shop in the UK to have Cybertron Scourge and Jetfire.

    Definitely keep your eyes open, if I hadn't cautiously scouted out all the standees by the main window behind the tills I could've been there an hour among the main shelves finding nowt until I exited.
    Darn just realised I shoulda snapped the standee for folks reference. IIRC it was predominantly red & white and had some "get ready for Xmas" blurb, the top was full of what appeared to be MLP and/or equally deliberately girlified gubbins, you know the usual rainbow of pastel colours heavy on the pink.
    That might be the craic actually, look out for MLP stuff and the TFs will be nearby, real nearby!

    Is that the one with red wheels? I'd still feel ripped off, even at that price...

    Considering what a tenner usually gets you these days in collecting Transformers, it's not a terrible deal.

    Ffs. Just face planted myself Lol.
    On the one hand mate Iam so glad you posted that as was just about to drop 70 on this from indemand toys.
    On the other hand I’m extremely pissed at amazon as I pre ordered back in April and cancelled only last night after phoning them on numerous occcasions and a monthly generic email saying they were still trying to source the damn thing. I had paid in vouchers and they couldn’t see them in my account but it showed on the order I’d used the e vouchers so they could only refund me credit that could be used on amazon stock only but gave me an extra 10 as a good will gesture.
    Glad to see this is through amazon direct as it’s cost me sweet nothing now after speaking to them half hour ago.

    Thanks again for posting this!

    Picked up the Argos Christmas catalogue thingy a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post any interesting info. Looks like some of the Cyberverse is on offer until 24th December. Makes those Ultimates look a little better to my wallet with £11 knocked off.
    I did try to search the Argos site to check if that was correct but, Sod's Law, it's currently down for some kind of maintenance.
