    People are saying they are not seeing things on ebay I see all the time - I would suggest that they search for the items on UK/Canada an USA anmd even Australian eBay they are there just not all ways in the same places on all regions.

    Also the simplest thing to do is find some one selling something similar - i.e. if you want someone wei Jiang find someone selling wei Jiang and ask them if they can get what you want too.

    Those Claws are on EBay I see them all the time and they are often £10 to £16.00 so the price shown is hair cheaper but not by much.
    Also if you don't have the combiner yet many sellers - sell the set with the claws usually for an extra £10.00 or $10.00

    ------

    Anyway I was just going to chip in on the not-scanning thing and say I think the reason it's suddenly a problem now is that before it wouldn't happen as often when all the items in a line for more than a year would share the same barcode # - now only something do (like blind bag packs) and other items like Say RID warrior Class since the Soundwave wave - have their own numbers. so I think what is happening is someone is putting in a master code - an old code or is only scanning in a single item from the box - this seems to bare up to my observations as I have had personal experience of trying to buy a new wave of products and only one scans.

    As for ASDA if you ask nicely they will manually type the item in with the product description for you if you get someone nice enough to care.

    I don't encounter the issue often though as I don't see many toys in the wild now - I'm pretty much buying nearly all of everything online now to be able to get it at all.

    Do we think TR Overlord will turn up on shelves at retail at any point?

    Can't remember if any leader class toys have been sold at general retail since Soundwave?

    I picked up Six Shot from Forbidden Planet in Birmingham about two weeks ago for £55. And sorry picture Nazis, I don't have a picture of it on the shelf or of the receipt.

    FP may not count as "UK on-shelf" though as there's a chance they could be imported and not Euro-stock.

    I reckon he might turn up in B+M next year. We've still got Skyshadow to turn up first. Talking of B+M, the only thing of note in the Clacton branch was a load of leader Skywarps for £25 each.

    He was found in Ireland June 4th but hasn't been seen in the UK. The finding of Sixshot in a Dublin Hamleys (IIRC) was what triggered looking in Hamleys here for him.

    So if anyone finds Sixshot, or Sky Shadow outside of Hamleys, and the place isn't a known importer/comic shop then a picture would be very much appreciated.

    Yarmouth Tescos is generally rubbish, and it's even worse now they've shifted all the DVDs and games downstairs and moved the toy sections about. I prefer the ASDA just up the road over the bridge. They've had Perceptor and co in there, readily available and totally purchaseable, for the last few weeks. Often far better deals on Lego too.

    They've been there for quite a while and not turned up yet :-( iirc they've been seen in Taiwan, Canada and nowhere else. No online preorders either.

    I need all three of that wave for the boy!

    Anyone know what's up with the listing for TR Legends Brawn on TRU website? He shows up in the search results and even says that he's available for delivery, but then when you click on it, it says there are no items found.
