    Shelfwarming everywhere except the one town I could guarantee them a sale! Don't think Manning's Heath will ever get them as they've reduced their Voyagers to just one facing now.

    TRU Poole must be the only one without CW wave 4. Was also hoping they might finally have some Force Awakens Black series stuff, but to no avail.

    Fingers crossed for TJ Hughes tomorrow.

    Then you, Sir, are a legend! You may have single-handedly made Orbital into my favourite shop in Central London. I hope you got a promotion, or a pay rise or something?

    Hah, no. I run the place and own a part of it already. Glad you like the shop!

    saw an odd event yesterday. CW rook in TK maxx. at normal retail price.

    Strange as they usually have end of line or discounted stuff.

    Indeed. Great Yarmouth B&M currently have four Brainstorms, I just hope something similar eventually happens with Doubledealer.
    Yeah, I saw CW First Aid in Yarmouth TK Maxx about a week ago.

    Randomly saw a combiner wars streetwise in Thurrock T K Maxx today, £13. Horrible clash of the tfs rid warrior repaints in tru and discounted minicon launcher figures (I think £16) in Smyths.

    Newark B&M had 2x Brainstorm, 2x Roadbuster and 1x Whirl (I think) on Saturday.

    They also had the Action Battlers (?) Galvatron and Lockdown for £5.99 each. Not seen those before. Galvatron has some lovely paint apps.
    The same Dinobots were there since the last time I visited.

    Multiple Gen Jetfires were there too.

    Went in to Nott'm Entertainer too.
    They had the Dino AoE voyager in which is appearing places and not much else. One-step changers were down to a fiver.

    That Galvatron is rather good actually. Looks far better than Hasbro's voyager.

    The range Clacton had the construct bots dino riders, one lockdown, two Prime's, a swarm of bees, and one drift which I was tempted by at £1.49, but thought I really didn't need it in my life.

    Home Bargains continues to be full of TF (and now Ben 10) bits, I completed my TF Masher collection with Heatwave (really, why him?), and Rodimus at a fiver each.
    Also bought the CAB BH Bee with cool orange dinosaur, 6 quid, don't hate me.

    As I said also Ben 10 figures, 3 quid normal or 4 quid for the omni-link ones, that's my boy's Christmas sorted (Entertainer have the accompanying watch for a tenner).

    Oh, and they still have the TF chocolate and popping candy, quite nice and ick respectively (ironically, Megatron is the nicest, mwah hah).

    If you do ever get tempted then check out either Poundland or Poundworld (I can't remember which) first because they had those little CB figures in one of the branches here in Yarmouth. £1 is a way better deal than the £8 they were when first released. I'm honestly expecting those Dino Sparkers to end up in pound shops eventually.

    Non-TF, but if anyone fancies a Lego Minifigures Character Encyclopedia book with Toy Solder figure included for just £6 then I got one from Great Yarmouth WHSmiths today. Nice two-hundred page book (if a little out-of-date now) and cool figure. Might make a neat cheap(ish) Xmas present for a Lego fan. Also The Works have several Lego books with Minifigures included worth checking out.
