    Both POTP leaders are back in stock now at entertainer. Free delivery on orders above 40. And you get an 8 pound voucher if you use Amazon checkout (limited time). Works out at 31 per figure!

    Studio Series Bumblebee and Ratchet into Forbidden Planet Bristol, didn't pay too much attention to the price but I think they were £22:99.....

    It says on that page that if you log in with an amazon ID you get £8 POund off a £30.00 spend at the Entertainer.

    Oh and yes that particular wave of Crash Combiners has been out a while I got mine in Sainsbury's a couple of weeks back.

    Slightly off topic but...is there anyone here with american connections that can get me an exclusive Gamestop item?

    This item is $35 on the site but the cheapest on ebay starts at $45 before shipping....Im hoping someone can get it at retail price and post it too me (with a finders fee of course)...I would love to try and get this for under £40 delivered if i can.

    Strange, that barcode prompts the listing for Bumblebee.

    I got the barcodes for Prowl and Jetfire, only need someone to confirm the one for Bumblebee. (It's possible Prime and Bumblebee have the same EAN as these two originally came out at a time when EU stock still had one standard EAN for the entire assortment.)

    Hi everyone,

    From Aberdeen there isn’t too much to report. Nothing really new that hasn’t been seen anywhere else.

    The only Toysrus left has very little Transformers now and what they do have left is still too expensive even with the discounts. Mainly just movie deluxes left. A few weeks ago they did have one each of POTP Leaders Optimus and Rodimus plus a case of Wave One Prime Masters but they all went almost instantly.

    I haven’t seen any transformers in either of the TKMaxx stores nor any of the Sainsbury’s stores either. Only one of the five Asda stores near me have anything new and it’s only a handful of Wave One Prime Masters. Nothing new in either of the B&M stores either nor any of the Home Bargains. Barely anything at all in Tesco.

    Smyths have restocked with Wave One POTP deluxes and still have a few Wave One Voyagers. They also seem to have restocked Rid deluxes as they had plenty of Thermidor and Twinferno.

    I’ve checked John Lewis a couple of times but no signs of the POTP Leaders either time.

    Has anyone noticed that POTP Leaders are coming in and out of stock on The Entertainer website? Three times I got emails saying they were in stock and each time I went onto their site I was too late for Optimus. I managed to get Rodimus which was good! I phoned them and found that Optimus was in stock in Dunfermline so cue a 220 mile round trip yesterday to get him! The manager said he’d got four each of the two leaders delivered that morning and only had one of each left after I bought my OP. I also bought Tailgate who was on the shelf for £14 but scanned at the till at £11. His wavemates were also there. They had all of the Cyber Battalion figures too and one Sixshot plus a few each of Seaspray and Cosmos.

    I checked Dundee Toysrus on the way back but not much there either, again just mainly movie deluxes left. Tesco nearby didn’t have anything worthy of mentioning.

    Apart from The Entertainer and Smyths, POTP seems to have barely hit at general retail anywhere. A complete contrast to the last two Generations series. Whilst I do buy online I still like the excitement of going into a store and seeing the new toys on the shelves. I hope POTP is only off to a slow start and starts appearing in larger numbers soon.

    Entertainer Cheltenham has the PotP Legend wave containing Battlethingy and Whatsitslash, priced at £11. Weirdly, there's a set of TR Legends next to them, ticketed at £14. And there's still a load of Hot Rod and Doublecross deluxes, now "reduced" to £20.

    Clacton B&M, quite a lot of current Lego sets, no prices unfortunately, but I can't see them being more than RRP.

    Stockton Central B&M - They DO still have a couple of Sixshot's left, after I nabbed one, as well as a couple of CW Skywarps. In case anyone hasn't tracked those down yet.

    Might be worth checking your B&M's for any TLK leader stragglers, I've seen on Face book they've been reduced to £4.99!

    Studio Series Deluxe Ratchet and Voyager Optimus Prime and Starscream listed at Very and Littlewoods (same company operating under different names), although someone spilled over their keyboard with Starscream... "Studio Serires Voger"? WTF? Reminds me of that one time Hasbro's website advertised a "Yoager Class"...

    Either an update or just something I’ve only noticed now in Warrington’s Cash Convertors. They have MP-1B in box for £90.
