    Bromborough Smyths had 1 each of the Siege leaders this morning. Would have picked up Shockwave if I wasn't waiting for my ID Toys pre order. They also had the voyagers and deluxes apart from Hound.

    Leicester Smyths only had Ultra Magnus on shelf, which I left as I wanted Shockwave instead.

    Rayleigh Smyths have one Siege Shockwave and a bunch of Voyagers/Deluxes (didn't see Hound though).

    Okay popped in to Smyths in St. Helens today, and they had Siege OP and Megs but no deluxes or leaders, looked on their website whilst in the shop to find that the Smyths at Unit 3 Liverpool Retail Park apparently had 1 Flyhweels in stock and so taking a punt and a road trip (never driven up that area before) I went and they actually had 2 in stock so they're still doing that weird only 1 left but really there's more thing. I picked one up and now, I am done with wave 1, just need the Micromasters/Targetmasters to pop up in stores so I can pick up a couple of those guys.

    Finally Smyths in Hedge End Southampton have 1 Siege Ultra Magnus, 1 Siege Megatron and (did have) 1 Siege Cog. I took the Cog away with me, nice.

    No Siege leaders in the lakeside Snyths, they had all the deluxes and voyagers though plus a few studio series deluxes and botbots.

    No Siege leaders in MK Smyths. I got the old “they won’t be on the shelves until the date on our website” line. Hahaha, whatever amateurs.

    Someone on Seibertron claims they work for Smyths, and that stores across the country should expect leaders between 5th and 12th.

    I read that post on seibertron too. From what they said, that would seem like what’s happened. I picked up the seige deluxes about a week ago in the Aberdeen store and they had two of each on the shelf but, as usual the online stock checker said there was only one of each, which reduced to zero after I bought my ones. When I went in on Saturday they had several more deluxes on the shelf though they only had one Shockwave so someone else must’ve bought Ultra Magnus. So, like the poster on seibertron said, they must only get one initial box and it’s then supplemented shortly after by the full delivery.

    Yep that’s what the site says. Sounds like they’ve been put out early in some places though.

    Only Megs and Prime in Bury Smyths... However the Smyths on Elk Mill Retail Park in Oldham had plenty of Megs, Prime, Sideswipe, Cogs, Skytread and ONE Hound (which I bought). Also had one Ultra Magnus and an empty space where Shockwave should have been.

    Popped down to Luton Smyths to pick up a Siege Shockwave and cancelled my ID Toys preorder. Sorry guys but I can’t be paying over the odds for a figure that might not arrive for three more weeks while it sits postage free and cheaper on shelves now.

    There was an Ultra Magnus left.

    Thanks all for the heads-up, scored a Magnus from Northampton Smyths.

    He was the last leader on shelves, only a voyager Optimus in stock, Siege-wise.

    Forgot to say, on Saturday I went to Fenwicks in Colchester. They had every single Siege wave 1 micromaster, battlemaster, deluxe and voyager in stock.
