    Found the whole of wave one (minus the leaders) in toy barnhaus in Redhill so uk stock is definitely available.
    Will probably appear in force after toy fair.

    How much were the voyagers? I know the deluxes are £14.99 at the moment

    Even though they’re not online, always check in store for Entertainer. Last week they said Crawley didn’t have any, and that only Starscream could be ordered in, but they had all wave 1 apart from bumblebee and ratchet when I went

    I know there’s one in my local Smyths so they are around still.

    Hope springs eternal that Smyths will get Siege deluxes in, their website lists them at least, but alas out of stock everywhere.

    So glad to see that Siege is seeing a release at retail stores. I'm definitely in for Flywheels.

    It's been so long since I bought a TF from a brick and mortar store. I think it may have been TR Breakaway a couple of years ago from TRU!

    Don't know if this has been mentioned yet but there's a new Bumblebee movie kids magazine that comes with a little Bumblebee figure. He looks pretty good and comes with attachable door wings and a blaster. Screen accuracy is decent for what it is. He'd look really good all painted up.

    Those that are enjoying the quirkiness of botbots, my local corner one stop store has the blind packed individual bots for 2.99
    They were next to the scratch cards at the till

    I love how they just blatantly refer to him as Flywheels too.

    I assume that's an artifact of Hasbro using the G1 names for all characters on super-early solicatations before going through the process of either clearing the trademarks or picking substitute names. Sometimes the early names appear in early or even final online listings, sometimes they're later adjusted to the actual toy's names while other times they remain as they are. Basically, it's like how some lines use code names for toys that still appear in online listings, except here the code names are the original G1 names.

    Forbidden Planet is also still calling the Titans Return figure "Octane", not "Octone".

    Breakway and Twinferno were called "Getaway" and "Doublecross" on their color guides, and I'm certain there were some retailers that used those names in initial listings.

    Those with little ones may be interested in these from Home Bargains for £1.79 each. IMG_20190113_150919.jpg

    I imagine it's just at the arms as I'm not going to open it up, looking to sell it.
