    Just been to FP London and for a change they have something different, they started stocking Kreo (at FP prices... e.g. SP at £50). They also (when I was there) had one of each of Wheeljack, Warpath and Scourge along with 5-6 Thundercrackers and a few WfC CJs. Tempted though I was I resisted second Wheeljack and Warpath it was close...

    I've never seen a forbidden planet, is it more of a southern franchise?

    Been to Toys R Us Chatham today just for something to do, they had pretty much everything including that three pack of WfC figures which I hadn't seen before. They look quite nice in person but not forty quid nice.

    Charlton Smyths - the usual DOTM stuff, mostly reduced a bit, plus about half a dozen Mindsets at £9.99. No Guzzle on the shelves, but I glanced up and saw a Hasbro box marked Wave 4, and a kind member of staff got it down and opened it up for me! Mine at last!

    TK Maxx next door had a pair of ROTF walkie-talkie watches, £9.99. And that was it.

    Still haven't seen a Hatchet anywhere in SE and Central London - any tips?

    I went to the Toys R us in my area and they're doing 25% off all DOTM figures.
    Picked up Voyager Shockwave for £21 and Smolder PCC for £5 and basically got Smolder free.

    Saw one in Old Kent Road Asda for £5 last week. Of course that does mean going to Asda...

    ...on Old Kent Road

    but it could be worth a shot still.

    Shot is the right word for that area... That used to be firmly in my manor, and I shudder at the thought!

    Might give Crossharbour a go as it's easier for me. Still Asda though. It wasn't always this bad was it? I got my first ever TF from Asda Spondon. I'm sure it used to be a much more pleasant place to shop. Walmart influence?

    In sightings news, I see Orbital still have that TCC Topspin for "only £75"! Bit disappointed, was hoping it would sell and bode well for me offloading my own MISB one...

    Hi there, I live near Kingston and I went into that TK Maxx the other day but couldn't find any TF's near the rest of the toys (except one lonely real gear TF and some TF walkie-talkies) and didn't really have time to look, where abouts are they in the store? Also, have you seen any RTS Battle in Space sets around the local area recently? I think I might have missed the boat on that one.

    Yeah, it was hitting close to £90 on ebay when I priced it, but no-one seems to care now. I'll drop the price at some point when I get a chance

    I was there today, and too asked a staff member to see if any were left in the boxes on top. About 4 cases had already been opened and deGuzzled, so it's looking unlikely any are going to hit the shelves there!
