    Found Voyager Nitro and Scorn at Great Yarmouth B&M. So along with Hound and Megatron they've now had four of the TLK Voyagers in that branch. Still one Megatron left if anyone in my neck of the woods is interested.
    Is the TLK Voyager Optimus mentioned earlier further confirmed? Or was that just an error? What are the case breakdowns for these? Ignoring any Optimus, I'm assuming two of each to a case (2x Hound and Megatron, 2x Scorn and Nitro)?

    Wrexham Entertainer had BotBots series 2 single & 5-packs today. Also had the Bee movie Legion wave with Cliffjumper.

    Nothing of note in B&M Bargains, besides lots of Bee movie stuff scattered everywhere, and a TLK Nitro Zeus. No sign of correct shelf labels to even tell what everything was priced at either.

    Middlebrook Smyths has had Series 2 Botbots for a few weeks now. I'm heading into Bury early next week so will check there too.

    Didn't see any TLK figures in B(alls)&M(ingin') this week, just some one step changers from RID and those massive hideous hollow RID Bumblebee THINGS.

    With the Bumblebee Movie getting home release next week, does anyone know if the supermarkets are offering any bonus extras/freebies, specifically with Blu-ray?

    Dunno if it's the Bluray specifically but in one of the UK TF FB group threads a fella reported that:
    Plus a photo of the offer Standee:

    Absolutely nowt in Hucknall B&M as per usual. Only had those RiD Titans and the smaller solid RiD figures.

    Got quite excited to see that they'd reduced the Ghostbusters Select figures a little but they only had the same 3 zombie figures they've had for the past few months.

    Something tells me someone doesn't give two hoots about Hucknall's toy section.

    Thanks for the reply. Good to know of that since Tesco is the supermarket furthest from me. If either Asda or Sainsburys have something better then at least I'll not have to travel out to the distant Tesco to see what they had in comparison. And if Asda and Sainsburys don't have anything extra then I'll know it's worth the effort to nip out to the Tesco.
    I believe the Blu-ray is going to cost £13.

    Dunno if folk are aware but A1 toys in silverburn Glasgow has newest wave of drive deluxes.
    I saw couple ironhides, prowl and I think the fembot. I bought an ironhide, this was maybe Friday.

    B&M St. Helens have a bit of assorted Bumblebee stuff and TLK Nitro and Scorn in. I’d have picked up Nitro but I already have SS Thundercracker so i wasn’t fussed.

    Forbidden planet leeds has one siege Soundwave and one siege starscream, no prices on them but expect about 29.99. I left them as I already have both. They also had siege ultra Magnus x 2 for 46.99 I think.

    I don't think Chromia has been seen anywhere UK yet thanks to Hasbro uk's lack of a solid case for her.

    Be interested to see a pic to see if this is imported or if A1 has got a UK w2 mixed case

    Bad enough the Asda has stopped stocking the toys , now they seem to have given up on the DVDs too .

    Not TF related but my local McColls have now started stocking Fortnite figures. Was it McColls or Co-op which had Titan Masters?

    Co-Op got in Wave 2 of the Prime Masters (Landmine & Submarauder with repacked Skullgrin & Metalhawk) for a fiver apiece in the run-up to Xmas 2018 IIRC (some stores may also have gotten Wave 3 but I have no evidence or experience to back that up.)

    Yeah, Hasbro UK's supplying of TFs has been defying all logic well before the Siege Wave 2 debacle, don't get me wrong I was chuffed to get my hands on the wee Pretender customising materials for such a bargain price BUT banging out the second wave of the smallest price point of the last line at a deep discount just as the next line was about to drop was frankly ludicrous.
