    I don't know about anyone else, but I was immensely disappointed with the Old Kent Road Toys R Us in London! :(  They still have outdated DotM stuff, it's rubbish.

    Kapow Toys have always been a boon for my TF purchases, but I'd much rather have a decent store to actually browse merchandise before my very eyes :p

    ASDA has had a 2 for £20 thing on their deluxe TFs for a bit but today the North Swindon branch actually had a decent selection in:

    BB, Smokescreen, Roadbuster, Ratchet, Dreadwing, Ripclaw and Skystalker.

    They had both Legions and Commanders reduced too - I didn't see how much, wasn't looking as the assortments on shelf were waves 2 and 1 respectively. Some Wave 3 Legions in Swindon would be good. Phil needs an Air Vehicon.

    They also had ConatructBots reduced to £7 for the basics and Deluxe for £11.

    Since it would have been rude not to at those prices I came out £57 poorer on TFs today and I only went in to buy my lunch.

    I'm not sure how the size classes work on those things. I've only ever seen Soundwave and Wheeljack, are these the deluxes?

    I do wish London branches of Asda (other than the huge one in Wembley, which might as well be in another country) bothered to stock toys other than pound shop tat. That said, those SW & WJ sets are currently £7.50 in Tesco. Which is nice.

    In Argos The Basic Sets of Constructabots (Starscream and Ironhide) were 2 for £15 when last I looked, so £7 isn't that great.

    Basic is Ironhide & Starscream
    Deluxe is Soundwave and Wheeljack

    I'm not sure any other size class has yet troubled the scorer in the UK

    I've seen the triple changers Bumblebee and Blitzwing, as well as the Optimus Prime/Megatron 2 pack in TRU's... assuming you're talking about Construct-a-bots?

    B&M Retail in Great Yarmouth finally dropped the price of those TFP Bumblebee Battlesuit things to £4.99 so I decided they were now just about worth buying. Also the ten million RotF Human Alliance Sideswipes they've had all year were reduced to £9.99 so I had one of those too.

    I had hoped to find something nice in the Tescos here as well while they still had their half-price sale but they just had more of the same stock I already own, but now less of it. Bummer.

    Great Yarmouth Sainsburys are still stuck on TFP Smokescreen and the earlier wave at full price.

    Yarmouth Asda was still TFP BH Dreadwing and Skystalker in their two for £20 offer.

    I'm kinda getting sick of seeing TFP stuff now.

    Croc Out, Vertebreak and Arcee BH deluxes have arrived in Reading TRU, £9.74 each.
    30th Deluxes have been re-stocked too, £12.99
    Still no FoC deluxes tho

    Portman Rd Tesco has been picked pretty much clean, apart from the exclusives

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Smyths now have the 2 new weaponizer figures in store. Bee is quite good. Shame they never produced a realistic deluxe size mould to do him justice.

    A friend saw the Beast Hunters Weaponiser BB and Op in TRU Cardiff

    BB is labelled SFX BB so I'm guessing that's another gutted voicebox

    Old Trafford Tesco almost has the full range of toys, Grimwing and Magnus(only 1), exclusives and stuff. The Cyberverse commander 2 pack is 7.50. Still couldn't pull the trigger. Silly the only thing not on sale is the BH commanders.

    Went to A1 Toys in Glasgow yesterday, to see if they had anything new and pick up one of the 'formers Loyal Subjects because I think they're awesome.

    They had SDCC metroplex, two of the Shockwave/Predaking Lab sets, and a set of the 5 vinyl figures from SDCC as well.

    The box was a little bit battered, but I picked up the vinyl figures set because I'm probably never going to spy anything like that again over here.

    Metroplex was pretty ridiculously overpriced, but the box is awesome.
