    Toymaster and Kerrison Toys had some in stock earlier in the year (£9.99), but it's nice to know there's more stock still kicking about for anyone after them, and a bit cheaper. I nabbed me one of each from Kerrison's several months back. Shockwave's really cool if you can keep his head from popping off.

    Speaking of Kerrison Toys, I went in there this morning and the guy behind the counter was really pleased that he'd finally got some 'new' TF stock (AoE One-Step Drift, AoE Sparkers, Rescue Bots Titan(?) figures) in for cheaper prices since I'd recently been bugging him about all the new stuff cropping up elsewhere. Unfortunately he wasn't too happy to hear that Home Bargains had the same stock in and theirs was all cheaper than his by several pounds, especially that big RescueBots Dino Optimus for £9.99 while Kerrison was charging £19.99.
    Still, his shop was rather busy anyway, so as long as nobody went out to the edge of town to check out the Home Bargains there I imagine he'll be okay.

    Ouch, that IS steep.

    Too bad the Dinobots set wouldn't fit in my suitcase anyway, that seems like a pretty ok price!




    Already back home, but in case it hasn't been mentioned yet (probably has):
    Selfridge's had alot of the new RID stuff, including Warriors (Steeljaw, Strongarm, Grimlock), the one and three step Bee and Grimlocks, and even the cyberverse figures (not Optimus).

    Also had Rescue Bot titans and the dino Optimus and Heatwave, as well as the same AOE and Beast Hunters leftovers as everywhere else in Europe. :)

    we have YOTH Starscreams and Masterpiece Sunstorms back in at my work, East Kilbride TRU. I want the Sunstorm badly.


    Everything else is usual garbage.

    Hello all, just visited the Oxford TrU and found Robots in Disguise wave 1! £14.99 each. They also had the 3 step changers but I didn't see the price. They were at the back with the usual mountain of AoE stock.

    Also saw MP sunstorm for 40 quid. I didn't realise though that it uses the original MP seeker mold and not the new one as seen on Acid Storm

    Actually it does use the new mold just the artwork on the box shows the wrong one :)

    Ahh thanks for clearing that up, my mistake! I only looked at the box and not the figure.

    RID Grimlock is fantastic by the way

    Orbital in London still has Dragstrip and AB left and lots and lots of Windcharger.

    Forbidden Planet Shaftsbury Avenue has a surprising amount of Generations deluxes (Goldbug and Waspy etc) and even a Springer at £22.99 which is almost unheard of cheap for them.

    Feck all in Wandsworth or Colliers Wood TRUs worth mentioning.

    Smyths Friern Barnet had some combiner wars legends (9.99) and some RID legends/legion(?). Other than that, one each of the combiner voyagers and Christmas temps stocking the shelves full (FULL) of AOE three-steps for some reason. They tried to assure me there were no cw deluxes in the back, but I didn't get the impression they knew what was going on. TRU BX had the RID warriors, 14.99. Need some limbs dammit!

    Dropped by Smyths in Thurrock earlier, they've completely sold out of combiner wars there.

    Picked up my MP Grimlock (for £34.99!!!) at Reading TRU. Thought I'd take a look around and see If they had any Combiner Wars stuff or RID, but they had nothing.

    Does anyone know if The Combiner Wars figures will be released everywhere, or are they exclusive to Smyths?

    I'd rather not buy figures on online if they're going to be released at retail. The toy line is supposed to be released next year anyways so maybe TRU or the entertainer, and maybe even Argos will get them. Just gonna have to wait to find out.

    Might need to take a trip down there to see if they have Powerglide. Probably gone now.

    Personally I'm more inclined to buy online as I'd rather be able to buy easily and I don't travel to the big stores that much.

    Smyths Rayleigh Weir is well stocked on Voyagers, at least one maybe two full sets of limbs too (a fair amount were there but it was messy and I had no need to look through) and 2 Windcharger, 1 Thundercracker Legends figures...

    I think just on principle wherever you buy the combiner wars figures it's best to use places other than TRU so retailers fight harder to get them and we avoid them being exclusives again!

    Not much in the way of Combiner Wars action at Smyths in Friern Bridge Retail Park, Barnet. There was one Silverbolt (who came home with me) and the only other thing on the shelf was Legends Thundercracker. Also spotted a handful of RID although the display was still dominated by TF4 stuff.
