    Did they have any Apefaces left? He's the one from wave 2 I most want! I'm only in Leeds so could pop over Bradford way today.

    There looked to be at least (I didn't have to dig that deep into the shelf to find one of each character) 3 or 4 multiples of each yesterday at least so unless TF fans swarm like locusts during today there should be 2 or 3 knocking about. Fings crossed!

    Sainsburys in Portishead had one each of the RiD Warriors: Windblade, Scorponok and Power Surge Optimus. £16 each. Pretty weird to see Transformers on an actual shelf in Portishead these days...so I snagged Windblade and prayed that TRU UK will actually stock their own exclusives. I asked a manager of TRU some time ago and he literally had no idea what I was talking about.

    Strange they only had the one Windblade there on Saturday and I bought that, never imagined they would have a minor restock considering the area and how slow the last wave sold.

    As for on the shelf in Portishead, Sainsburys did have the first wave of RID for a long while but before that I think it was around 9 - 10 years ago when there was a small toy shop opposite Specsavers, I bought the only Transfomer they had left (Cybertron Evac), don't recall seeing anything in there after that.

    Apeface from Wave 2 seems to be the most popular of the Titan Masters... Orbital Comics in London were completely sold out of him. Next most popular seemed to be Brawn.

    Tesco in Colchester has surge protector optimus and scorpinok, wave two(?) Minicons for 6 quid (sandsting, an actual ratbat!), and on clearance the wave four legends Warpath, Groove, Hot rod and skywarp, all for the low, low price of £9 each!
    Get some bloody titan masters in!!!!!!!

    Popped into Asda Birchwood after work. They had wave 2 Titan Masters and all of the Legends wave 1 plenty of each, I picked up an Apeface as he looked cool, they had about 2 or 3 left of him and each of the others.

    No Deluxes though, they're sorting out their toy section like the Cockhedge store and they too have the planograms taped to the shelves. The Transformers shelves all looked finished with new labels and what not, no mention on the planogram of the Deluxes :(  also the combaticons were in a reduced section at £6 each

    Think I might just pre-order a Hardhead online, looks like it'll cost me about the same price Asda are charging, give or take, and seeing as I can't find any deluxes in store and factoring in fuel/effort I guess it's not a bad idea.

    Meh went on Friday, Forbidden Planet on Bold Street had 2 G2 Menasor's and 1 Victorion, think both were more expensive than online, about £110 each I believe. Apart from that so far not much new there.

    All the combaticons, £6 each? I really want to get a set but my nearest Asda (Tunstall) didn't have any. I might see if I can get the bus up.

    Sainsburys Crayford have a restock of the Windblade RiD wave again for £16 each.

    Swung back by ASDA Bradford Forster Square to snap up Skytread, they had 3 or 4 of him left when I'd done, one Apeface and a pair each of Brawn & Clobber.

    Yep all deluxes were £6 I was tempted just to get one to customise, i've already had my Bruticus complete for a few months but for £6 nearly caved on one just to bash but was happy enough with my Apeface :p

    These cheap combaticons seem to be incredibly scarce, went to two asdas this weekend and couldn't find anything.

    So in lieu of the barren wasteland that is TRU MK, Asda MK has Titan Masters (now only Brawn left), Stripes, Wheelie, Rewind and then the ridiculously overpriced deluxes- Skullsmasher, Scourge and one Blurr. There is also a CW Brawl. I wanted Blast Off waaaaaaah. Still, prob for the best, 20 quid is daylight robbery and I'm going to be at TFNation on Sunday :)

    Thank you, I ordered one last night, turns out it's already in stock and got sent out today! Haha I thought Back Order meant Pre Order, it doesn't say in stock, just says they're getting more stock in late July. TLDR; He's in stock :D
