    Cribbs Causeway -

    TRU - Restock of Wave 2 FOC Generations, enough Combaticons to get one full set with a few others left over.
    New Lego sets in stock including both DC and Marvel, Creator and City.

    Smyths - Other than an Airrachnid, the only change is the return of Wave One Voyagers.

    Tesco - Other than one Voyager Bulkhead, nothing else of note.

    If people want to avoid disappointment with a visit to Smyths during a stock take day, go to the website and look up Store Locator, they've updated the listings to show which days it takes place at each store.

    Thanks for the heads-up! Might see if I can get to Stockton Portrack Lane in the next day or two and try my luck there.

    Nothing you can't get cheaper at retail at Forbidden Planet, Shaftesbury Avenue.
    (Note to the brother reading the Energon TPB: Please have a wash.)

    Orbital, Leicester Square, had less than the usual in the display case. Three carded G1 Stunticons and a pair of Cap-Bots (£25 each, those things are tiny, I thought they were actual, you know, caps), seemed the most noticeable additions. Also a G1 jumpstarter, sans weaponry, £5.

    No FOC Combaticons at Leeds TRU, just Prime. They did have a couple of wave 4 Power Core Combiners though - Heavytread with Groundspike and Undertow with Waterlog at £4.99 each. Picked up Heavytread and love him but I guess it depends how you feel about PCC.

    Only TFP voyager in Forbury Argos is Optimus :( 
    Voyagers are £13 there (and hopefully everywhere else too) tho, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered trying a customer view.

    Cheers,
    Doug

    TFP Powerizers are also £19.99 in Argos. Is this not the same price as everywhere else for these nowadays?

    Nottingham TRU has got some new stuff in.....ROTF voyager Optimus Prime :D 

    It is that time of the year when they start digging through the back to stick out old junk on the shelves...

    They havent got any of the Combaticons left, just lots and lots of Prime and Jazz's (on US and Euro card's)

    The Kreo is discounted, and theres lots and lots of TF Prime Voyagers, and discounted DOTM Cyberverse sets.

    Also, loads of robot heroes sets making a reappearance

    Plenty of Voyager Starscreams available at Mosborough, Sheffield’s Argos. Well worth the 13 quid, but unfortunately he’s the only voyager they had.

    The nearby Smyths have also stocked the Thundertron and UM voyagers.

    Here is a trick that I learned from my wife - Pick up both Magnus and Thundertron, stare at them intently for 4 minutes, then put Thundertron back on the shelf and pat yourself on the back for saving £17. :D
