    spoke to smyths at rayleigh weir, they said they have no tr on the shelves. They said they are due a delivery tomorrow but have no idea if any tr will be amongst it.

    Or more likely you'll get total pot luck on what one you receive and get a Blaster instead.

    Pretty sure they're casemates so its likely a generic entry for the leader class figures.

    TRU Old Kent Road has the TR Legends in but no Heads or anything else. But that's progress. Worst TRU in the Country actually having current (ish) stock means I assume these must now be in every other shop in the land.

    Nothing of note in the Big Asda up the road. Except sweaty people. Loads of those........

    Whilst I have now got what I want from Wave 1 (the more I read about/ see pics of Galvatron the more I think he could be an abomination), incredibly Milton Keynes TRU *still* has no TR. Plenty of heads and legends in Bedford TRU mind.

    Holy crap - some actual new TF stock at Great Yarmouth ASDA! It's only taken like four months for them to get something new in. That said, it is only the RID One-Steps of Optimus and the new Strongarm, plus the grey 'switchblade' Sideswipe in the new packaging. But they were only a fiver each so what the heck, eh?

    My trip to Norwich last week for a Birthday TF shop was a bit of a wasted effort. Best I could find in the TRU was TR Wheelie and Stripes. Jarrolds had the RID Optimus and Sideswipe Decepticon Hunter armour packs. Langley's had only a pathetic cardboard stand, the signboard of which boasted CW stuff but mostly just had BayFormers stuff from 2009. The Entertainer did finally yield me an AoE One-Step Tank Megatron for £6, but they also had RID MiniCons (the four from the wave with Ratbat in - wave two?), but at an unhealthy £7 each.

    Sucks when everybody else is apparently picking up Headmasters left, right and centre.

    Asda in Newport Duffryn had CW Combaticons deluxes on the endcap for £12 each, plus RID warriors of all recent waves for £10 including blue Drift and Quillfire, and the £5 one steps too.

    Still also have Star Wars black series 6" for £10, 3.75" for £7 and basic 3.75" for £5.

    Smyths in Bromborough had the TR deluxes and leaders last night. I picked up a Blurr, Hardhead and Skullsmasher for myself but there was at least 1 each of the deluxes left on the pegs and 1 each or PMOP and Blaster on the shelf.

    Forgot to say, Asda also had some of those non-transforming brand new Minicon launching Bumblebee and Sideswipe cars for £10 - they're about 10" long.

    Ditto Swindon ASDA Orbital Retail Pk this morning.

    Was tempted to chance my arm on QC Roulette for a Brawl with a better waist joint than my US one. Anyone bought a UK one yet to testify if they're any good or is it still random chance?

    Funnily enough I've actually bought another one today from Asda to see if it'll be better than the US one - will let you know when I've had a chance to open him up.

    Anyone know what's in Orbital in London right now? Trying to work out whether it's worth me sweating my way through the underground this evening.

    @scamper: Definitely saw a couple of Mooselords in Tesco, Eastville, Bristol - just two days ago. I'm also fairly certain there were some (amongst others) at at least one of Cribbs TRU, Smyth's or ASDA when I was there last week. Good luck!

    Has anyone seen these 'Metal Earth TFs' yet? Just spotted what I guess is wave 1 in FP Bristol:

    edit: Hmm.. seems these were first spotted across the pond over a year ago. Old news.
