    Not really related, but kinda - I had a DVD on order and after 6 months I got that sort of message; i.e. the supplier has none left.
    I then tried hmv, and initially got similar results, but within a month they sent me my DVD.
    Point is, Amazon might imply that the manufacturer is all out of stock, but it's not necessarily always the case.
    Not saying you'll be able to just find somewhere else that has it, but don't give up hope that there's no more!

    My local B&M had the helicopter Dropkick earlier on. Not sure if that ones been spotted yet. I finally picked up a VW Bee after being undecided for ages. Turns out £10 is very persuasive.

    Yep, I found a Jazz in B&M. Don’t know what wave he was in though.

    Nice figure, quite tiny though. In fact, as cool as he is, I’ve decided to sell him on at cost. I just can’t allow myself to get drawn in to collecting SS. Can’t be trusted to know when to stop haha...

    And so if anyone wants to take him off my hands then please PM me. Complete with box and everything. Cheers

    IIRC earlier waves saw some carryover/repacking from previous waves.

    Can't swear to it, Studio Series isn't my thing

    Was in Morrisons this morning and they had a bunch of tat on clearance, including Cyberverse legion/legends/basics/the tiny ones. Down from £9 to £4.50, so I guess if you ever wanted a Bumblebee that transforms into a car with Bumblebee sticking out of it, fill your boots I guess.

    I reckon they're clearing space in storage so they can get huge truckloads of bog roll in.

    Found a SS VW Bumblebee in B&M Weston-super-Mare, and they wouldn’t sell it to me because they couldn’t find it on their system :mad:

    I caved and got the VW BB on eBay a few days ago. £13 more expensive than B&M, but I’ve already easily spent that in petrol whilst hunting for them!

    I have no access to 'real' shops, if anyone would be willing to brave B&M (or other places with similar prices) for me, I'd really love to get my hands on:

    1x Firedrive
    1x Blowpipe (full disclosure, I have one of him, but I need a second one of those pewpew effects!)

    Can pay for both, plus the postage etc. upfront

    Please DM me if you can help :)

    Cwmbran B&M had the following on Saturday - WWII Bee (2), Barricade (2), Clunker Bee (1) and Sideswipe (2). Only 1 Sideswipe now as I treated myself - first movie transformer I ever bought was ROTF 'Swipe and always regretted selling the Sidearm version so nice to get this new model with the blades AND the pistols.

    TK Maxx Newport had at least 14 of the Bumblebee movie Cassette pack containing One-Step AOE Classic Camaro Bee and the three tapes that fit in Bumblebee movie Soundwave - £20 so no discount there, I paid less than that when Argos had them on clearance. The Smyths next door had some new Earthrise - Prime with Trailer and Starscream (no deluxes yet) and also SS Megatron and Mixmaster.

    How's your Sideswipe? I had some issues with the brake light sections popping off and being unable to get back on...

    Indeed, the brake lights are an issue - they have have come off every time I transformed him. After trying to force them back on aggressively and hurting my fingers with no success I found it easier to position the ball jointed arm halfway along its travel and then gently push back into the socket - any amount of excess force just pushes the whole arm back into the brake light piece - for some reason the less effort you make the easier they fit :confused: .

    That's weird. Yeah, I'm not exactly a wuss but Christ, if those things are just the right shape and size to ensure that applying pressure utterly kills your thumbs.
