    I guess explains why Toymaster has those Wave One TLK Deluxes in - though for a bit more money.
    I still don't have a Wave 3 bee - never saw one ever.

    I got a Starscream and Megatron to test the waters, and was pleasantly impressed. I mean, they're not great and aren't ever going to challenge WFC or anything, but that's not why they exist. For what they cost they're a great way for families on a budget to get their kids the big-name characters, and a good way of doing it at that. Megatron is actually the best version of the character I've seen at that size, and while Screamer's alt mode is utter bobbins, the robot mode has better articulation than the Cyberverse warrior-class, so can't be all bad.

    Me, I'm going to use these as painting practice. If only I could get Starscream's head off so I could try swapping it for Megatron's...

    Grimlock is actually my favourite, decent enough in both modes imo, Starscream is the best in robot mode.

    Smyths website is saying Siege leader Shockwave is now £39.99. Still don’t think that’s enough to convince me to pick one up but it might be enough for some people.

    Overlord is still half price. That’s a good deal.

    According to IDToy's Facebook, the wave 8 Studio Series deluxes (Bumblebee, Soundwave, Arcee sisters and Hot Rod) are expected to arrive late December. Hopefully they arrive before Christmas so I can wrap them up for myself!

    A bountiful amount of POTP wave 1 deluxes (Canadian carded) in Mosborough Home Bargains. I picked up a Dreadwind.

    Hopefully they're available in enough quantity up and down the country to put the scalpers off.

    Nope... Saw one vendor at a toy show at the weekend selling a whole bunch of the Dinobots for 150% more than the HB price. And people were buying them!

    Hi everyone! Thank you very much for this thread and in particular what I have read in the last month. I decided to start buying Transformers again recently (blame that Unicron and Omega Supreme) and this thread has given me a lot of tips. I will probably be asking a load of questions in the coming weeks.

    I picked up Slag, Swoop and Dreadwind today at the Edmonton branch of Home Bargains. They had Jazz x2 and another Dreadwind on the shelf as well. Hopefully they have more in the stockroom for others for £9.99.

    Also Forbidden Planet in Central London have Sinnertwin, Cutthroat, Blot and Jazz at £10.99.

    Is that Edmonton in Enfield or Edmonton in Cornwall ?

    These are certainly creeping South then. Might be worth the people on here located near places like Ipswich, Thurrock, Great Yarmouth or Norwich looking soon then.

    Also go make a pest of yourself : 13315 they may be able to help you out on more general topics.
