    Warrington Entertainer Saturday had wave 1 POTP Legends in, bought myself a Slash. They also had a few Sixshot's but not too sure if they had Black Shadows as I was only passing through.

    Staying with Mum, so out and about in Kingston this morning. It proved a challenge, CMT wasn't happy with the walking involved.

    Anyway....

    New Entertainer is lower ground floor Bentalls Centre. Down the Escalator at the WHS end of the centre, on the right. Similar floor space to old store, but on one level. Turn right as you come in the door and walk into the second section for the TFs. POTP Legends plus TR Cosmos & Sky Shadow.

    TRU on the second floor has gone :-(

    Bentalls had full price Trypticon (£150) and Sixshot (£55)

    Old Entertainer being used to clearance stock. A couple of Weaponiser Minicons were the limits of their TFs

    Went into The Entertainer in Colchester an hour ago. Grabbed Skrapnel, only a single Windcharger left.

    Not much of interest (to me) TF-wise in Southampton FP. Nonetheless, this is what I saw:

    Titan Masters: Sawback, Ptero, Skytread & Overboard
    TR Legends: Seaspray & Roadburn
    TR Deluxe: Twintwist, Windblade & Twinferno
    TR Leader: Skyshadow (£49.99 - I will take my chances with the Entertainer lottery)
    Trypticon
    CW Gen2 Superion.

    Oh no, not TRU! Will have to go and check out the new Entertainer soon. How much was Sky Shadow going for?

    Is there anyone that could pick me up a TR Slugslinger from an FP that has him? My local FP in Manchester has been completely rubbish for transformers for as long as I've lived here

    Wow! A Windblade on shelf, that’s a first for the UK surely? I’ve not heard of her being anywhere else...
    Fingers crossed the Bristol branch will stock her soon too

    Hi all, the TRU in Brislington, Bristol was a sorry sight this evening. Lots of empty shelving, looking like it will shut fairly soon I’m guessing. We’ve been really lucky to have 2 stores in the city I suppose.

    Anyway, they had a mini Legion-sized TLK Dragonstorm on shelf, that I’ve not seen before. Sorry I can’t upload photos yet to posts, hope fully soon though.
    Happy New Year folk

    Interesting - if I'd realised they hadn't been seen before I'd have had a look at the packaging. I'd assume it was import stock.

    Decided to pop into Gallions Reach earlier/yesterday to see what they had to offer. Smyths had the usual TLK/RID stuff, and TR Krok, Kup, Perceptor, and Topspin for £18/£19. Decided to hold off on the latter two until I'd checked the Tesco next door.

    And, lo and behold! Not only did I find the TR Sixshot I'd been hoping for, it was priced to clear at just £23! Even better, the TR Deluxes that had been going for nearly £20 at Smyths were just a tenner at Tesco!

    So, I pick up Sixshot, Topspin, and Perceptor and take 'em to the till; the latter two rung up on the system at £9 each! Result!

    I hope to one day find a mystical Tesco which stocks these cut price Generations TFs. The only luck I had was the cheap Astrotrains / Alpha Trion and wave 1 deluxes a few months back.

    After a quick phonecall to Southport entertainer yesterday, I found they had just got their case of PotP Legends.
    Got there just as it was opened and picked up the 3 new guys case fresh.

    There's still one each of Slash, Windcharger & Beachcomber if anybody's looking and 2 of the Skrapnel variant for you troop builders.
    Happy to pick some up if anybody needs an assist. Pass it on my way home from work.

    had feared that would be the case - good thing the Cribbs TRU has had it's refit - that was really swish last time I went in ( just before xmas) - will be popping over on Saturday - do you have any idea if the Entertainers in Broadmead/Cabots have got the POTP legends in?

    Titans Return reductions have reached Tesco Oldham (Huddersfield Road), though most of their stock is Wave 1 with a handful of Gnaws, a lone Broadside and a few Sixshots. Legends are £7.50, deluxe is £9, £16ish for Voyagers and £23 for Sixshot. Movie Leaders were reduced to £30 but the rest of the movie line seemed to be full price.

    I'm possibly going to check the Newport one at lunchtime, but in the event of a fruitless search, would anyone be willing to pick me up a £23 Sixshot and £9 Perceptor? Or at least, let me know if they can, and I'll confirm?

    Got a real shock this morning; on Christmas day I ordered Blitzwing and Octane (TR) from Amazon.com as the price for both combined was about £70 (however thats probably changed due to their official Blitzwing stock being sold out when I purchased). It said that Octane would arrive the 9th of January, Blitzwing the 10th. To my surprise Blitzwing arrived in the mail! Turns out the other company on Amazon.com was actually based in Nottingham so it arrived rather hastily. Just waiting for Octane, Misfire and Twin Twist then all of my Christmas purchases will have arrived!
