    PAST wave 2 or including wave 2?

    I need to get my hands on the W2 PMs, deluxes and voyagers. You might save me a trip here.

    The Entertainer seems to have their potp voyagers on sale, £19.20. Late to the party, but they also have some new stock of titans return deluxes - Triggerhappy, Krok, Quake.

    That's what we need Entertainer, a reload of TR Wave 3. Bravo.

    I'm going to stop going in for a bit it's just getting fucking depressing.

    I don’t remember Titans Return being this bloody desperate distribution wise.

    Found some of those TLK Legion two-packs in Great Yarmouth B&M. They had Optimus and a repaint of TFP Soundwave, Bumblebee and a repaint of TLK Hotrod and Megatron and a repaint of TFP Breakdown. Didn't see a price and didn't bother to ask. Was briefly tempted by one of those chunky TLK Hound figures with the spring-loaded mask, but even at a tenner it felt too simplistic. It's got like only two steps of transformation.

    And my branch finally got some of that Lego in that was reported ages ago. Priced too high for my liking however.

    So far I've seen PotP in precisely two shops. Starscream and Grimlock and a couple of those Pretender guys in The Gift in Norwich the first time. But other than that the only other place has been Kerrison Toys in Great Yarmouth, who had the first wave of Pretender guys, Jazz, Dreadwind, Slug and Swoop, Grimlock and Starscream, Tailgate and Rodimus Prime. The big chains around here have had nothing. It's sad when a toyshop so small that it could fit inside my living room has more of the new TF than Tesco or Asda.
    Yep. I reported them in Great Yarmouth Home Bargains a couple of weeks ago. Quite fun, but spinning it by the scarily thin arm pegs isn't so enjoyable.

    It was for me.

    It feels like distribution is more universally bad now though. It seems to be becoming the rule.

    I rememeber wave 1 and 2 of titans return coming out pretty quick then about a 6+ month wait until wave 3 onwards came along and even then it was patchy.

    I think, toy r us has caused Hasbro major headaches, but they need to sort this out ASAP. There are people willing to give them money, yet there is nothing to buy, ive never known a company like it.

    Received both Moonracer and Blackwing from Forbidden Planet today and they are definitely Euro stock. Here is the card backs for them both. It means they may eventually see a wider release! [​IMG]

    Everytime I want to scratch a toy itch and I can't find something Transforners, I just give my money to Lego instead. Never had a problem finding new Lego stock. Now it's 10% TF purchases and 90% Lego purchases. A few years ago it was the other way around. And this is entirely due to me never being able to find new TF.

    It's gonna be like that for me as well, I'm gonna focus more on Lego now given Transformers clearly doesn't want me to focus on it hahaha.

    Agree with all the points above, POTP has been a shower at retail, did the high original RRPs put the supermarkets off, and did TR start that rot?

    For me it is pushing me back into the cupboard/boot sale, and finds me painting/re-painting WH40K stuff I have either recently picked up second hand (new prices are better than they used to be but still high), or stuff I have hoarded for 20 years.

    Such a funny thing is life/toy distribution.
