    I saw them in my B&M today. They rang up at £12.99 each so I didn't buy them. Felt too expensive for what they are, especially in a discount retailer. It's the kind of thing Home Bargains would sell for around £7.99 if they stocked them. But I suppose the Alphas in B&M already being £7.99 they had to up the price because of the larger size.

    Smyths website has listings for Earthrise Doubledealer and Quintessong Judge, as well as some of the Cyberverse battle call figures.

    They don't have any of the w2 deluxe yet so it's no reason to worry - Kapow, IDToys and Amazon have had all 4 for a while.

    I will note that the Siege deluxe w2 mixed cases were skipped last year at UK retail (solids of 3 of the toys in it reached the specialists)

    The Netflix Voyagers seem to have been restocked at a whole bunch of stores (still not in bloody Charlton but I guess that would be too much to hope) so might be worth paying attention if you can safely get to one.

    Still click and collect only. Because who needs home delivery in a fucking Pandemic anyway........

    This is odd because the Amazon listing is still saying due September. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transformers-Toys-Generations-War-Cybertron/dp/B083VM3Y9N

    I hope Amazon are not going to pull a Siege Skywarp on us (by which I mean list the item, then not get it in stock, and keep insisting they will get it).

    I pre-ordered Scorponok from Amazon as it was the cheapest option, but now I'm wondering if I should have ordered elsewhere

    I was having the same debate, but I decided to pay the extra tenner or so and get it hopefully sooner than Amazon (assuming it's correct!)

    Amazon email just now re the siege skywarp set that was available again a while ago again to order.

    They have cancelled the order as supplier can't source.

    How many times have they done this now?

    Yeah, unless it's something you like but ultimately wouldn't mind missing out on, Amazon is not your best choice. They're just as liable to be messed around with by Hasbro as anyone else, except unlike other, more focused, retailers they won't be too fussed about making it right for the customer of Hasbro lets them down.

    I've also had the email today from our friends at Amazon cancelling Siege Skywarp.
    Despite saying payment will only be taken once dispatched, they took it upon pre-ordering. I wonder if my refund will include the interest?
    Last time I order anything from Amazon, not just pre-ordered Tfs

    I've been lucky with them so far, touch wood. They sent out Wheeljack and Cliffjumper on time when I preordered him
