    I hear ya. I had grand plans of getting an army of Blurr and Drift, and repainting them. Not only is the figure a sweet design, which would look great in multiple decos, but you wouldn't be able to tell which was sword armed and which was gun armed in alt mode.... Then Blurr never arrived, and Drift didnt hang around so long.

    I have now seen it first hand, and honestly I wonder WTF TRU UK are doing! TRU, Stevenage...

    - Half a dozen FoC/Generations, mostly Prime, no Jazz.
    - Pegs of Prime Deluxe wave one only.
    - A small selection of Star/Jack Hammers and Drillers, Bee Cyberverse suit, Voyager wave ones and Weaponisers (only saw Prime).
    - Pegs of DotM Deluxes, ranging from Roadbuster through to Armo(u)red Top Spin and Air Raid.
    - About half a dozen HA Bee (only).
    - A small selection of HA Basics.
    - A decent selection of Botshots, including the Shockwave/blue Brawl/other triple pack.
    - A couple of MP Hot Rods (£49.99).

    Its honestly starting to actually make me angry. Deluxe Roadbuster was wave one, and about 18 months old. Who the hell decided that was a good idea?

    Tesco, Hatfield - Almost nothing. A few Commanders (£6.97) and a handful of Legion (£7), along with some Botshots (about 5). There may have been a Voyager or two, but I couldnt even be bothered to move my eyes in an effort to check. I pretty much give up at this point.

    Let me guess, although these are leftovers, TRU are charging full price for them because that wave is 'rare'.

    Maybe.

    Meanwhile, Sainsbury's Finchley Road have the third off promotion on Bot Shots, Prime legends, commanders and deluxe, which included Kup, Rumble, the silver BB, and Hot Shot (which I nabbed).
    Also had the regular four voyagers, one each, at £23, but there was no tag on display advertising a third off.

    Also, Colgate toothbrushes, Hagen Daaz ice cream and Innocent fruit juices half-price each. Yeah, I spent the afternoon scrubbing praline & orange madman smoothie into my gums.

    Nemesis Prime with a launcher? That's a new one to me, Nemesis was only in the three packs. Were there any others, like Starscream or was it only him?

    If you can send me over a pic I might be able to work it into a news story, then have a whole bunch of people tell me it's been out and they never bothered mentioning it, haha!

    Saw 2 Airrachnids and 2 Kups alongside the usual into John Lewis at Cribbs Causeway. Smyths still have a Vehicon available.

    A couple of slightly amusing sights at TRU which I didn't pick up on last week, the first being they have more DOTM deluxes than Prime and FOC put together and the second being not just having HA Bumblebee in HFTD packaging but also ROTF packaging as well!

    And the Prime selection ain't looking too good, other than one Hot Shot and a couple of Ratchets, deluxe and voyager offerings are back to Wave 1 again...

    So I'm guessing Tesco's £20 deal on TFP Weaponizers is online only? They were £25 in the store I just visited.

    looks like these sightings are gonna be pretty much staying the same way over the festive period! Unless the odd new FOC manages to slip through, &/or a restock of FOC Shockwave happens.

    I've not seen a Nemmy P launcher, but my local Sainsburys did have Starscream in when I looked on Saturday.

    This is getting ridiculous.
