    Is there any news on when Earthrise deluxes will hit the shelves? I assume they had the same shelf date as leaders and voyagers?

    seems strange to get the bigger figures first, especially at Smyths.

    Nah, a staggered release across size classes is pretty normal, most Etailers have been citing Mid-March so, if we're lucky, the next week or two or, on Hasbro UK's past form (which may be more of Hasbro central's doing) and/or possibly a knock-on delay effect due to Coronavirus panic, it could be the latter part of March they drop.

    I have all my Earthrise figures on order with Kapow and asked them earlier this week when it would be dispatched and they confirmed there was a delay on receipt of the deluxes. As above, mid-end of March was the estimate.

    Wave 1 ER voyagers and Leaders in Smyths Newry.
    Got Starscream yesterday. From what I’ve seen, none of the ones in the shop have the missing parts people have been reporting from Etailers and the like, however some had bad paint on the cockpit.

    They also had the last of the siege deluxes, with Crosshairs, Spinister and Cog. I assume they still have Sideswipes and Hounds.

    Toy barnhaus Crawley have a ton of SS Jazz, as well as POTP Jazz, Swoop and the triceratops dinobot, as well as a white deluxe, and TLK Squeaks, All for £10. They also had voyager Hound for £25. They had a few siege deluxes. No earthrise stuff though.

    the Entertainer had the usual siege deluxe suspects, no voyagers though

    County mall B&M had sideswipe and Barricade, nothing in the other B&M.

    Smyths had an Omega supreme, which I don’t believe is on the website and all the earthrise stuff, I got the last grapple though.

    Smyths in Basingstoke had 2x Earthrise Grapples and 1x Earthrise Astrotrain.

    They also had 1x Jetfire reduced to £70 on the end. 2B7F6A22-9F04-41F2-9D6F-864CF1F644EC.jpeg

    They oddly also had a load of Siege figures in, like Siege Optimus Prime, Sideswipe, Cog. Very old stuff, Siege Prime again? Also some Spinister and Crosshairs.

    Finally a non-sighting of no Siege battle masters in Basingstoke B&M. Which is annoying cos I’d like more of those fire effects from Blowpipe.

    Given up on my Siege Skywarp pre-order with Amazon. Put the money towards a Hotlink pre-order with Smyths instead and he will be re-purposed into Skywarp until the inevitable Earthrise version comes along. Hope I don’t have to wait too long for Hotlink to hit Smyths! Tired of waiting to finish off my Siege seeker trio!

    Sightings- 3x ER Astrotrain and 4x ER Starscream in Cribbs Smyths.

    Really trying to resist temptation to purchase Starscream, Prime and Astrotrain. I am happy with my current versions (or that’s what I keep telling myself anyway!)...maybe when they go on sale...

    I hate how it's come down to this for most of us, I don't know why Hasbro decided to not bring over Skywarp but whatever it is it's stupid. You can't even buy one from Amazon US anymore.
    I bet this'll happen with one of the Coneheads too.

    Yup, there's been plenty of discounted POTP w1 deluxe floating around on discounted grey import, mainly at Home Bargains. Some w3 showed up at FP and TK Maxx. No w2 bar a couple of odd Sludge sightings.

    First time anyone has reported any for a bit

    Newport Smyths yesterday had lots of Siege - Optimus, Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Apeface, Sixgun, and a few other deluxes all at full price, and both Red Alert and Impactor were reduced to £12.99 so got an Impactor.

    They had Earthrise Optimus and Astrotrain (strangely looking at both Optimuses together I have to say I prefer the Siege one), quite a few of each.

    They had Studio Series 07 Megatron (nice and silver paint job), DOTM Soundwave, Arcees, Hot Rod, 07 Camaro Bee and a few other older releases.

    I didn't check the Cyberverse/Rescue bots stuff but they did have the Shockwave and Prowl 'armour up' figures reduced to £11.99 while the rest was full price.

    Pretty good selection, all told.

    My son spent his birthday money on a Hot Wheels shark colour changer set.
