    Thanks I just wanted to see if anyone anywhere (or on other sites for that matter) had detailed the differences like people did for Brawn or Seaspray for the newer items - I don't seem to get many bites though.

    But thanks for the reply.

    Just Bulkhead or any other kinds ?

    I picked up Voyager Megatron, so add that to the list.

    So Optimus is there as well? Is that a new mold or the old AoE one (not Evasion)?

    No TLK Voyagers at B&M Bolton, will keep an eye out. I needs a Nitro Zeus.

    I'd Like to get a Nitro as I see him as a good companion piece for Cogman who I already have - I was considering the new Cogman (mainly for the titanmaster) and I realised he's a good partner piece to the KSI Boss.

    Which then got me wondering what sort of Cogman would suit Thundercracker one on that sprung to mind was a Titanmaster compatible Nightbeat using that mould Though the blue might be a bit dark.

    Q: Anyone's local Argos had the new Series 2 Botbots 5 pack in yet ?
    No sign in any South East Store I could search online inside 50 miles of me.

    Q2: I noticed some of the clearance stores were getting the ubiquitous Titans Return Deluxe wave in again (the one with Quake and Krok in it) and I got to thinking - has anyone got any other wave on clearance besides that wave this year ?

    I'm a little embarrased that I still don't have Twin Twist, Topspin, Perceptor, Windblade, Kup, Misfire, or Slugslinger in Hasbro form.

    I vaguely remember putting away a Botbot multipack but forgot to check it it was series 1 or 2.

    I think you misunderstood my question. Was the TLK Voyager you mentioned being sighted a new mold or was it the Voyager Optimus mold reused from AoE? By which I mean the long-nosed truck AoE Optimus redesign mold, not the AoE Evasion mold.
    I already have the AoE Voyager long-nosed Optimus mold, so I wouldn't want the TLK Voyager Optimus if it was the same long-nosed mold reused from AoE.
    I'd certainly like some different TR figures to show up in discount stores other than the Quake/Krok wave, which I already have. Heck, I never even saw wave one TR Deluxes or Voyagers in my neck of the woods. Actually, barely ANY TR or PotP figures made it to my local stores. Same is happening with Siege figures now too. No wonder I've lost a huge chunk of enthusiasm for any new figures when announced and/or sighted.

    Only place I’ve seen wave two in the wild has been Entertainer. Still waiting to see any individual or 8 pack ones though

    Yeah Entertainer Arndale has the Krok-Quake wave. I didn't have those two so getting them discounted was welcome, but I would hope Kup and Topspin would pop up. Unfortunately no, it was just 6 Twinfernos. I already have him. 'Sigh'

    Entertainer Bolton still has some Legends gems but no Deluxes, and Smythes Middlebrook is entirely Siege now.

    Krok and Quake appear in TWO Titans Returm cases: they're 1 per case in wave 5 with two each of Perceptor, Kup and Topspin and this case had reasonable distribution in 2017. Since then Krok and Quake have shown up in the grey imported wave 4 revision 1 with two each of Twinferno and Triggerhappy. Entertainer had these, so did Home Bargains

    This makes sense, there are a lot of Triggerhappy's shelfwarming various outlets in Manchester. I love Triggerhappy, it's almost a shame to see him being unloved.

    It does make sense however that he, Twinferno, Quake and Krok would gain their late stage shelfwarming reputation when you compare them to their wave mates. To casuals or basically anyone that isn't the D tiers Deceptagoon and Autonobodies like me, who would you rather go for? Somewhat more famour characters like Hot Rod, Kup and Perceptor....or Quake?

    Siege Soundwave & Starscream into Smyths Cribbs Causeway, didn't notice either of the leader class or any of the deluxes there. Also had some LTK leader Megatron at £44:99.
