    Just checked and no luck on voyagers, finished the rest of wave 2 deluxes though so not a total loss

    I may start hiding wave 1 voyagers in other places around Smyths to give the impression the shelves need restocking.

    Then they're most likely seconds/possibly KOs/Excess Production from the factory, they may come in a plain brown windowed box without any of the stickers of the official version and possibly missing some paint apps, something like this set here:

    Elite 1 plus the rest of the wave in Smyths Bournemouth.

    One for those with an interest in how toys are imported - that's you @Nevermore

    The Entertainer seem to be importing toys themselves rather than relying on others to do it for them.

    When I went in the Kingston store this week several of their Black Series Star Wars toys had "imported by The Entertainer" stickers on them

    Yes, let's hope Repugnus and Punch/Counterpunch follow suit.

    Someone cleared out all the dinobots from MK Smyths. Just wave one and three Rippersnappers now. And a bunch of Grimlocks and Starscreams not going anywhere of course.

    Rippersnapper, Darkwing, and Moonracer all at Smyth's Northampton, but no wave 2 Dinos or Voyagers.

    Isn't there some minor colour differences suggesting more than a simple re-pack - such as the pegs on the hands ?
    I'm sure I read that somewhere.

    If the price is decent then the lack of the stickers would usually have some merit - but in terms of Sticker horribleness the Dinobots are no where near Starscream levels of horrible.

    Now if they were selling screamer stickerless for a good price I'd buy that in a flat second.

    I found most of the wave 2 deluxes in the Crayford Smyths. No Darkwing though. And now no Moonracer.

    I hadn't heard that but it wouldn't surprise me if a Factory Lunchtime special got a bit of "eh, it'll do" on the plastic stock used for the excess/unofficial production run.
