    Great. So now just waiting for Siege Starscream to finally arrive to complete my Siege wave 2 order! Apparently arriving with Kapow on 23/04 - FYI for anyone in the same boat as me.

    That is good it's actually cheaper than the UK wholesale price.

    I was just in Home Bargains earlier and they had a Transformers Rescue Bots chase & Chomp playset
    Transformers Rescue Bots Flip Racers Chase and Romp Raceway | Catch The Deal

    It was only £4.99 - I was kinda shocked by how small a flip racer is as I've never seen one in person before.

    [EDIT]

    When buying from Amazon for the 1st time check the vouchers and such section there is usually an offer on new account something like spend £30.00 get £6.00 back.

    Ugh Amazon now better than ID Toys, Kapow et al for availability. I am really pissed off at Hasbro UK for this. What a shit show they’re running.

    Bristol Forbidden Planet had 3-4 Siege Prowls. Must’ve come single packed. Prices set a decent 17.99 too. Also a few Laserbeak/ Ravages, Cogs and leader Shockwaves, add a lone Hungrr .

    If one were of a tinfoil hat persuasion it'd be tempting to wonder if it's deliberate, as in have Amazon done a Walmart-style footstamp/backroom dirty deal to get their way and have an advantageous release before the smaller E-tailers?
    Though in reality it's not like Hasbro UK haven't thoroughly proven their incompetence already, it'd be giving them too much credit. It is quite a coincidence though, innit?

    Yeah, indeed! I don’t get why Hasbro central don’t sort them out. The UK bosses would be out on their ear in the inhuman multi-national I am part of. I assumed all inhuman multi-nationals were the same. Oh well.

    I was very happy to see this as well. Absolute shit houses at Hasbro.

    Just seen that In-Demand Toys has Ironhide, Sixgun & Prowl listed as ‘in-stock & ready to ship’ from them at a respectable £18.99, with the option of free shipping over £50 (if I’ve been forgiven for the cheap Ultra Magnus price yet :D )

    They also have the Wave 2 Micromasters in-stock at £9.99 each, though out of stock as a pair, so mustn’t be many left. If you’ve not pre-ordered elsewhere this may be a good option for some of you, otherwise you may be waiting on Hasbro UK now!

    Smyths at Crown Point in Leeds have several WFC Voyager Primes and Megs. They also have 2 Leader Class Magnus and 2 Shockwave. Sadly no deluxe Siege figures though.

    Stuck in an order for Sixgun, as it was my most wanted from w2 and I knew I'd want more than one.

    It is as suspected UK stock, with no text for the word Age beside the age rating.

    Great Yarmouth B&M had a decent selection of Bumblebee items; Energon igniters “Nitro Series” Bumblebee, Optimus, Barricade for £9.99. Then for £7.99 more Bumblebee “power plus” igniters of Bumblebee Camaro, Car Shatter, Bumblebee Beetle. Then one steps of Dropkick car, Optimus, Bumblebee Camaro, Shatter Jet.

    They also may have had 1 legion (speed series) of Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade and Cliffjumper, but I bought all of those (love those little figures).
