    Hi,

    scanned through last few pages of thread and couldn't see any mention of reissues - not sure if these are *new* or just new to Leeds TRU, but picked up reissue Skywarp, Tracks and Red Alert, they still had plenty of Prowl and Inferno too.

    They also were in the process of setting up a nice big aisle-end display with video screen and lots of supreme Cyb Starscreams and Primus', as well as a seperate display of Starscream/Vector Prime 2 packs.

    Dunno if it's just me, but they really seem to have increased TF stock since a couple of months ago.

    Big push before the movie, they want to really get kids interested.

    Brent X TRU has Reissue Red Alert... but not much else new...

    Except TF's are now end aisle, I guess so that ATOM gets more unified shelf space, and TF's get the end section to themselves, works better for both that way.

    All the High Wycombe Woolies had at last sighting was a Prime and a couple of Soundwaves. They've never had deluxes or Ultras. They were setting up their "big red book" desks on Friday, so maybe we'll have some luck with new stuff through there instead?

    Theyve got the 'big red books', or something similar to them out at mine, I didnt think anything of it though, I may be going back sometime soon, If I do, I'll grab one and have a look.

    EDIT: Forgot a sighting

    Kettering Tesco's:-
    TF Attactix starter set (Overhaul, Dirt Boss, + 2 skyblasts) - unpriced
    TF Attactix boosters - marked down to £3.73

    Personally, I intend to take about £11.50 or so and get about 3 boosters, only the heaviest ones though.

    Southampton Woolies had Override GTS, Excillion, and Soundwave. They also had Alt Swindle, Shockblast and Silverstreak in bubble packaging.

    Southampton and Brent X TRU have Soundwaves in as well, but no Excillions or Overrides.

    There was a deluxe Unicron in Glasgow's John Lewis. Was a week or so ago, think they had Evac too.
    Nice to see TFs in there again.

    nowhere, as far as weve heard, Hasbro hasnt given any indication that its even going to bother releasing them.

    Going against that, I asked a TRU Employee about 2 months back, if they were getting 'classics' in, he said he didnt know if we were going to be 'classics', but he made a point of Showing me the Cybertron chunk of the aisle and saying,
    "It's not these ones"
    so I asked
    "do you know when you will get the new figures in?"

    Anyway, so he went away, and about 3 minutes later, he came back from wherever he went, and said
    "We'll be getting the new stuff in about Late-November/Early-December time".

    Hasbro UK have Starscream, Rodimus and BB scheduled for the end of this month.

    Allegedly, Megatron and Prime are the same.


    Grimlock Mirage and Astrotrain are solicited for December.


    Odds are they won't hit mass retail until after Xmas.


    One of the members here - Starscreams Ghost - is getting them from Hasbro UK and is taking orders.
