    If anyone’s not picked up a Siege Prime or Megatron from Smyths yet, you might want to be quick - according to their website the pair are ‘no longer available’. Everything else is showing up as July restock wise.

    My local Smyths had no Sideswipes so I ordered one off amazon. Now on my third one cos the other two never showed up (the second one was apparently rejected by me... even though I wasn’t in the house.) At least this one was free!

    Absolutely nothing new in my local Smyths aside from these two. I’ve wanted them both for ages but at £50.99 I really can’t justify that.

    Went on the monthly hike around Central London, bought an Endgame Poster.

    Forbidden Planet Shaftsbury Avenue had quite a selection of TFs for a change, Siege Soundwave, Starscream, Prowl, Magnus and Shockwave in abundance and at similar to Kapow prices - not the usual Mark-ups on retail. They had a bunch of Studio Series (I'm sorry, I don't have any interest in these but there's a fair few of them) Jazz, those Predator-haired Car Things, Armoured Car Bee and the likes of Blackout and the same stuff Smyths has.

    Also the leftovers of TR like Inferno, The TerrorCons, Jazz, Twinferno, Outback and Blackwing.

    Orbital had a ton of Siege Starscream, Soundwave , Ironhide and Prowl as well as the last Richochet in the glass cabinets at the front.

    Makes a change to see a LOT of stuff compared to the recent drought. Still no Chromia though. We got screwed on that one.

    Oh is that so? I'm heading down to London in two weeks, I don't suppose you can recall which Terrorcons where available, save me importing them...

    Hound and Flywheels are already vanishing from shelves, I really ought to get the rest of Siege wave 1 before they're gone.

    Both are still £39.99 on the entertainer website if that’s any good for you :)

    Quick update, added dates


    Fenwick Brent Cross:
    18th May
    A lot of Crowbars, some Stingers and original Ratchets (SS04) plus one Blackout at normal prices.


    The Entertainer Brent Cross:
    18th May
    Thundercrackers down to 19.99 - now have Starscreams (SS06) and Optimus (SS05)


    The Entertainer Westfield London:
    11th May
    Bought Grimlock for 39.99, the rest were Thundercrackers


    Smyths Friern Barnet:
    6th May
    Plenty of Stingers, Bumblebees (SS01), Lockdowns, Starscreams (SS06). Was impressed to see a Starscream SS21 and Megatron SS13. Prices were on offer at the time and I bought Lockdown for 14.99, but the website seems to show they have been moved back to original.


    Kapow Toys'
    Great prices on some Voyagers has ceased now, luckily I bought Brawl and Starcream SS06 just before for 16.97.

    After 4 attempts and 3 separate orders, amazon delivered my Sideswipe. Think I’m going to stick to Notts Bot Co and Kapow in future. That was torture.

    Entertainer Warrington put the SS deluded at the front of the shop on the ‘cheap stuff’ shelf basically. £10.50 each which I’d be down for if I were still collecting movie.

    The Entertainer in Colchester has given up on transformers. They just have a few rescue bots with the other Playskool stuff. It was depressing to see Toy story 4 and wwf stuff sitting on the shelves where robots should be :(

    Pretty much the same story in the Wandsworth branch, just a handful of MovieBots and nothing else. It is baffling when Siege should be doing the business right now.

    Nope. Still no TLK Voyagers in Bolton. Picked up Windcharger, Cosmos and Seaspray from Entertainer to cheer myself up.

    From what I’ve seen in Warrington, I’m guessing the higher ups aren’t thrilled with the amount of TLK stuff still on shelves after two years. Worringly it seems the fatigue extends to Studio Series given they’ve all been discounted, but that might be cos they’ve got nothing but W1. The only thing they seem to be really full on stocking is, erm, Cyberverse, which is a shame.

    Smyths is slightly better, but their lack of Siege w2 deluxes concerns me a bit given back in titans returns, they got figures I saw absolutely nowhere else like Windblade in stock (and boy do I regret not picking her and the others up...)

    Hi, has anyone in the London area spotted any leftover Cosmos or Beachcombers out in the wild? I know the Entertainer has some left over Legends in some places but probably north of Watford gap I’m guessing!

    I suspect it isn't the Entertainer, more Hasbro UK failing to supply. I did a few shops when in London last week and saw very little TFs, even in normally reliable locations.
