    Oh, so it is! Those were the only two I checked, I assumed the other two would be available too. Strange that they’re only stocking them, like the other retailers. Hopefully they’ll be in-store over the weekend.

    Salisbury Smyth's this lunchtime: all the ER Voyagers and Leaders, Siege Voyager Prime, Thundercracker, Springer and Megs, Deluxe Crosshairs, Spinster, Sideswipe, Cog and Hound. Studio Series WW2 Hot Rod, Arcee, Soundwave (? a silver car if some description) and a Bumblebee. Assorted Cyberverse toys including that massive Shockwave.

    Had a look in the entertainer at lunch, the place had been pretty much stripped of all the good technic and tfs already.

    Forbidden Planet Newcastle had a ton of new stuff. They now have SS Shockwave along with Scavenger. They also received ER deluxes and voyagers. The only deluxes were Cliffjumper and Wheeljack, and it's quite interesting that Smyths have them as the only 2 figures you can order online as well.

    Just picked up Siege Starscream and Crosshairs from Entertainer. Not interested in either but as I basically got them £12 a pop, not going to complain!

    Has anyone got any word as to when ER Cliffjumper and Wheeljack will be physically in Smyths shops?

    I could see Smyths hanging fire and concentrating on online sales right now.

    For a second there I thought they were saying anyone wishing to purchase from them would have to travel to an alleyway next to their shop, and engage in a dodgy deal to get their hands on ER Grapple.

    Random spot in B&M today. Went in to pick up a Dropkick and saw this. First time I think I’ve seen prime in my local B&am. Might be worth checking your local to see what stuff they’re chucking out.

    Popped into entertainer newport yesterday and they had the bogof offer. Lego stock had been diminished slightly but the store was well stocked and there were plenty of transformers. Picked up some nerf - doomlands lawbringer and an overwatch rival mcree revolver both are cool fun blasters with a mad max vibe which feels appropriate in the current climate :rolleyes:

    No, Hasbro has started using singlepacking as well as mixed wave packing. It's entirely possible that only singlepackings of Cliffy & Wheeljack have arrived thus far. That's how the UK missed out on Siege Chromia, she was only in the Multipacking, and we got only got her wavemates in solid single-cases.

    I'd seen mention of it being found in B&M by one person a while back but nothing after that, so I'd always doubted it and assumed it was an error. Might just be a random single item of stock from the depths of the stockroom from back then rather than more stock going around, but I'll keep an eye out. Was it £12.99?

    My Local B&M had a few Hounds as recently as January I kept price checking and they never got cheaper than £19.99.
    However some stores not that far away (though to far for me to make a special trip) had similar stock for £9.99

    I'd be interested to see if they are getting Last Knight items in again if they are cheaper this time. It would be nice to see the Leader Class more widely available (for example) as they didn't get much of a release in the U.K.

    I'd definitely pick up Leader Grimlock if I saw him on sale anywhere

    So it seems like Ironworks and Hoist will be coming Wednesday for InDemand and Kapow.
