    Yeah I was on the phone to them as he he listed them, there was only 4. Managed to get one in my basket... forgot to log in. Went to re order and he’d sold out. Still says he’s in my basket, just can’t order him lol as someone got there same time.

    In demand toys have a load of Prime Masters reduced (as do Kapow). I got some from IDT and it looks like they got them from MBC Ltd. MBC have provided Home Bargains in the past.
    So perhaps some of the stock that would have turned up in HB is now going to our favourite import/hasbro uk stockists?

    MBC were in business long before Home Bargains and have been supplying cheap grey imported TFs and other toys for years - I think I've got Cybrejet cards with their stickers on and am pretty sure they were responsible for the US POTF2 Star Wars that Woolworths got in the late 90s when Hasbro UK could not be bothered. They get the stock and any stores can buy from them. All the current cheap POTP is via them - FP, IDToys, Home Bargains. I think they were also the providers of the Generations Voyagers a couple of silly seasons back.....

    MBC have been around for donkies years - they used to import old Kenner and Hasbro stuff like 30 years ago and more - though I think they were more know for doing so in the 1990's If not for them and similar companies a lot of things like Air Raiders or Bone Age woudn't have ever made it to the UK at all I suspect.

    Starlings Toymaster stores have POTP Prime Masters in stock.

    Just found this little funny. Looks like a Cyber Battalion kind of toy.

    Just visited there today, they have Omega, Jetfire, Impactor, Mirage, Ironhide, Prowl, laserbeak and ravage, some micromasters, the evil leader Rodimus, ultra Magnus, Shockwave, brawn and the throttlebot, grimlock elita one. There were some movie toys as well, plus Stepper and red swoop and masterpiece Prowl.
    Orbital has the ghost buster prime, masterpiece bluestreak and siege springer.
    Probably More, but that's what I can remember off the top of my head

    Cyber Commander Class Optimus (repaint version) - there is a Bumblebee as well.
    That is an excellent price for that it's actually cheaper than the Chinese KO is.
    Though it's since then gone up a little bit the Bumblebee is cheap as well, both are a better buy than Authentics or Cyberverse offerings in general - it's nice to see them on sale at all though as they started life as South American Exclusives.

    Not sure if it is worth posting but there are Black Friday promotions on the official Hasbro shop on www.AliExpress.com does free shipping for most items to the UK. Omega Supreme has some cost though.

    Shipping is long though. I bought some stuff on singles day 11/11 but it’s due to arrive in December (could be early December, could be late).

    It’s priced in USD but with GBP strengthening yesterday that’s in our favour. Singles Day promotion did give me a bit of a headache in working out which coupons apply to where and all the various discounts.

    I also do have referral that gives you 19 USD worth of coupons if anyone is thinking of using. I can report back on the shipping and customs but when I receive my items next month (hopefully).

    Let's shop together on AliExpress with new user coupons

    Thanks for the In Demand Toys Refraktor 3 pack post this morning btw!
