    I have seen the Voyagers for €30.99 in a good few Smyths stores now. No sign of Brainstorm. I got him a while ago during a swap with another collector. He is fantastic. Finally got to open up my MP Grimlock that I got in TRU Belfast a few weeks ago. He is brilliant and taking pride of place on my MP shelf.
    And I finally got to pick up wave 2 Combiner Wars Stunticons and Air Raid from Dublin City Comics which means I now have completed Superion and Menasor :)

    Took me a while to get out there, but Smyths in Airside has Rhinox and Whirl in stock. No sign of anything else that I could reach. Smyths in town had the RID Legions on sale at 6.99, and it seems the Warriors are discounted by a fiver branchwide but low on stock.

    For Dublin, assuming you're in the city, there's a Toy Master and a Smyths near Jervis Street, a Forbidden Planet on Wellington quay (Not much in the way of toys. Go for comics), and Dublin City Comics on Bolton Street

    For Vinyl Records, there's HMV on Grafton Street, and I'm sure there's a good few more music shops around that area too, if you have a wander around

    thank you comrade, this helped!!

    I found the toy master, it was kitty corner from a McDonalds, however pricing was a bit high compared to what I see across the pond..

    However if I find nothing I will return here on the way back on Friday before I leave Ireland fer good!

    thanks!

    Not a sighting but I got my MP Starsaber in the post today and my God is he sublime. So very worth it to anyone on the fence about getting him, just get him.

    Looks like all Voyagers are down to 22.99 in Smyths. Picked up Roadbuster in town today, and they had Whirl and Rhinox in Swords last I checked.

    Looks like Smyths has listings up for voyager Hotspot and Cyclonus to arrive between the 8th and 15th of June. No sign of the rest of the Protectobots, or any wave 2 figures for that matter.

    I just found out that there is to be a Transformers Fan Weekend in Belfast this weekend , 9 and 10 of May. It is called Opticon Transformers fan weekend and it will have TF comics writer Simon Furman and Artist Nick Roche as Guests. There will also be toy displays from Irish collectors as well as some of Nick Roche original artwork on display.

    Anyone planning on going to it?

    Combiner wars wave 3 deluxes are in Ken Black Carlow, no sign of the wave 3 voyagers or legends. Smyths and ken black have the same supplier I think so they will probably show up in Smyths soon if not already. They also had RID deluxe Jazz and Sideswipe too.

    Just been in that Toymaster now. 15 euro each for those Legends. More than i want to pay for something tiny like that.

    They had the Sideswipe and Jazz from that new series as well. At 20, they seemed like better value... Are they new as well?


    Went to Smyths to look for Hot Spot or Cyclonus..didn't have either.

    Was told they had a few of each yesterday, but now they mysteriously disappeared.

    I hope it's not someone being greedy :-(

    Sideswipe and Jazz are fairly new, yes. Think they've been out about two weeks

    Haven't seen him in Smyths yet

    Easons in Swords has Protectobot Deluxes, but they're 25 each so... no. Might be the same elsewhere.

    I grabbed Fixit in Banba for the tenner just to finish Team Bee. Tesco Clare Hall has him and a few other Legions on sale for 7.50 ish right now though.
