    My local Tesco in Port Glasgow had 5 Sixshots priced at £50.
    I took one to the till and it went through for £37.99 though. :)

    I went to Tesco in Warrington for the first time ever today (it's fookin huge!!!) and they still have 5 Sixshots on the shelf for under £40. Just be aware they've got those wired up alarm things round them but it didn't look like the boxes were damaged

    Tesco Hucknall have naff all. Your usual crap tonne of TLK Legions (reduced to just over a fiver each but only Barricade, BB, OP and Grim), one steps and those masked brick type TF'S for 20 quid each.

    As usual, not a sniff of Gen figures.

    I'd just like to point out that the UK has the questionable honor of being the only known country where all three The Last Knight sublines (Mission to Cybertron, Autobots Unite and Reveal the Shield) were available in their entirety, each of them exclusive to a single chain with none of the "never found in stores, only available online" (MTC Legion and Deluxe Hot Rod), "dropped by the original chain and then offered to a different chain" (RTS Voyager Optimus Prime) or "only found at discounters" (MTC 1-Step Turbo Changer 2-pack and Legion 2-packs) shenanigans the US experienced.

    The UK is also to my knowledge the only European market thus far where Cybertron/Primus is available.

    Don’t know if these have already been sighted, but ASDA Metrocentre has TLK wave 3.

    Well, whether my ASDA gets 'em in or not at least I can feel a bit more confident about Cogman making it to UK shelves, and that my eventual Nightbeat-isation might be a tad cheaper!

    So not only do we get wave 3 DLX, but we also get Cogman too.

    Nice one Hasbro. You don't suck all the time.

    Hmm Don't do movie figures but may be interested in cogman if I found him cheap and depending what he looked like in hand, simply for him being another Titanmaster. Though on the other hand that's money that could be going to the POTP Line ;) 

    Went to FP Liverpool today and they still have a Black Shadow for under £50 if anyone is after him, dregs of other figures, 1 each of TR voyager Broadside/Megatron, Leader Blaster/Skywarp and a handful of Titans Masters, most interesting being Lione (SP?) and Overboard, No Deluxes or Legends. For any Star Wars people they'd already sold out of the Black Series Captain Rex exclusive. They had a free FP Catalogue which has pics of TR Blitzwing and Octone and little circles around them saying "Taking Pre-orders Now"

    Blitzwing and Octone, as well as Slugslinger and possibly Twin Twist are the only TR figures I still want, but feel it unlikely finding them with the impending new line.

    Just got the TFs Express newsletter. They are saying PotP will be in stock by the end of November. Thought it was going to be early December.

    Excellent news for people who happen to have a birthday in late November and happen to get birthday money which they happen to use to BUY EVERYTHING IN WAVE 1.

    Edit: ah, I see it’s literally December 1st at Kapow as well, so same difference. I’m still splurging on the deluxes, voyagers, legends and tiny pretender thingies anyway. Oh yes.

    Edit x2: wonder if they’ll be at retail Dec 1st as well.

    FP have preorders for early Jan. It's FP so you can't tell if they're sourcing from Hasbro UK or internationally. But, rather worryingly given what happened to the Titanmasters, they don't have pre orders for the Prime Masters.

    Yeah, if I recall correctly FP got Titans Return in some time behind even TRU and Smyths. On the other hand I see nothing on the TRU and Smyths sites yet either.

    It would be crazy for Hasbro not to take advantage of Christmas sales by releasing in December. Also it would be crazy because I really want to walk into Smyths with a big cheque and walk out with bags full of Transformers once in my life.

    The last late year "line start" before this was Combiner Wars in 2104 when, given that T30 had died on it's backside as a one wave TRU exclusive, we weren't expecting anything.

    Voyagers were found 12th December Generations Combiner Wars Arrive in the UK! - Transformers News - TFW2005

    Deluxe found the next day Generations Combiner Wars Deluxes also out in the UK! - Transformers News - TFW2005
