    Has anyone heard or seen anything about a refresh of Legends figures? I just want the new mold ones, not whole waves of mostly repaints, and they're horribly expensive on eBay.

    Oh man, Voyager wave five cancelled, that is poopy! Im not too worried about wave four deluxe because I was not planning on getting anything from that line, maybe ice cream twins but not too bothered. I hope this is like when we heard that Animated toys were cancelled in the UK but it turned out they werent.

    I think you're being unfair here. Firstly, it's obvious that there's supply issues, we're getting shafted on whole waves, so it's not out of the question that supplies of individual waves too.

    Secondly, Smyths Jervis St and Toymaster are the only toystores within central Dublin - the rest of the Smyths' are all out around the M50, Toymaster is in Stillorgan and Dun Laoighre, and now Hamley's in Dundrum. Argos can be an alternative, they have blind buying and considerably higher prices; Forbidden Planet, likewise can have high prices, and wouldn't be terribly well known. That means that anyone who's in town who wants a toy, they go to the stores on Jervis Street.

    Banba sold six Devastators in under 2 weeks. Forbidden Planet got in three Jetfires a couple of weeks ago, and they were gone by six o'clock that evening. I've seen all the new toys from a wave - 2-3 cases worth - disappear in less than a day in both Smyths and Banba. They have very high traffic and very high sell-through. Smyths rarely have significant sales on TFs, they don't need to, they sell. There's no reason to not put a case out, they get immediate sales from new stock on shelves, and the repeat toys from the case will sell eventually anyway. Christmas is coming.

    Thirdly, I got Ejector from Hamley's today. And I wasn't the only one. In the short time I was there, I saw four scouts being taken off the shelves or being paid for. And that was in a 20-minute period.

    Basically, what I'm trying to say is I don't think there's some big effort to regulate stock like you think there is, I think you've just been unlucky.

    Went to the forbidden planet on Saturday. Sorry I forgot to post but there was not a lot there in the eyes of Transformers. Its the only place I know that still sells Animated leaders. Mostly wave two Soundwave and Wheelie with the odd Brawl, Chromia and Bumblebee.
    I picked up the last Skids and there was only one more cannon Bumblebee. Have to be honest it is the first place I hace seen anything from wave three deluxes. If anyone sees any in a smyths in Dublin let me know.I probably wouldnt go there again. I think in future I may just stick to smyths.

    I am honestly never bothered to go across Ireland or even across Dublin just to find out they have transformers there when there is one right down the road. I will be honest though I havent been to Smyths in a long time. Next time I do go, I promise to report anything new.

    Good to here we are actually getting wave four on schedule here in Ireland. Was looking forward to seeing Ice Cream twins somewhere, but hay, I can wait. Even if a new Transformers cartoon series comes out I do plan to just stick to Revenge of the Fallen toys so I can wait. It gives me roughly, two more years to collect all the toys I want, and they normally restock waves anyway throughout time.

    Hi There

    I saw an EG BB in TkMAxx Carrickmines last Saturday. Saw Swindle in Smyths Tallaght. Leader Bulkhead may have been there too.

    As for the others, Modelmania is your best bet. Or Ebay.

    No they are skipping voyager wave five and wave four was supposed to be delayed. Obviously it as a misunderstanding.

    Nope. But went to smyths on the fonthill road today. Loads of wave three and four deluxes and for the first time ever I seen wave two and three voyagers. Wanted to get Mixmaster but got the Fallen instead. First time I have ever seen Jetfire in person and there were no Devastators but the website says he is down to €110! Not bad.

    I went to Tescos near Ballyowen today and there was nothing new. There is still only up to deluxe wave two available there. Actually the newest thing there was Desert Tracker Ratchet but that was it.

    Play.com have preorders for Voyagers Long Haul and Grindor who are expected to arrive on the 30th October this year. Maybe we will get wave 5 after all and the news we got about it being cancelled was a misunderstanding, but we`ll just have to wait and see.
