    Sky Lynx is out in the wild at Smyths Toys if anyone is interested. My Mrs just grabbed him for me on her way to work, so sorry no pics.

    I know right? I had hoped to see reviews from America so I could decide on Skylynx and Scorponok before they hit retailers here. But that’s not quite happened like that and it looks like we will get Scorponok before America.

    Has anybody got a refund from Kapow for the Netflix Voyagers yet without having to ask yet?

    I ended up getting them at Smyths figuring they would be cancelled. But still no word from Kapow yet- I wonder why they are waiting?

    I still have an order open with Kapow for Hotlink. I don’t know why they have not cancelled. I don’t want to ask in case they notice and cancel me. I wonder if Kapow don’t want to bad mouth Hasbro UK and therefore are keeping quiet.

    My speculation is that they are sourcing Hotlinks from Japan/Asia because they are not stupid exclusives. But I can be proven wrong by my order being cancelled.

    I guess we might know when they miss the estimated date but deliver them when they come out in Asia.

    Well when I was in contact about my NF Megatron they said they were still hoping to source some from somewhere - import stock probably - and asked me if I wanted to cancel my pre-order or leave it. I imagine that's why they've not actively cancelled orders without prompting.

    haha! Sorry no chance. She is a keeper. Not only accepts the hobby, but actively engages in getting them for me!

    Yeah, mine accepts it rather begrudgingly and has zero interest in my collection - save how much I spend on it!

    Every figure costs about $20.

    Especially the MP figures

    Yeah the biggest problem with them is if you miss a delivery the idiots take the item and send it back to Amazon for a refund - they did that with my purchased on sale siege Mirage I WAS NOT HAPPY !

    Any time I've near a B&M or Home Bargains the queues have been really long, so haven't bothered.

    And yet my Skywarp order is still alive - it refuses to die.

    But it'll never get fulfilled.

    Staples Corner Smyth's still has a couple of Hotlinks .......... unbelievably.

    Hi

    Not sure if this is a new sighting but just spied these in my local B&M today.

    IMG_20200621_150912.jpg

    They are the large 10-inch tall authentics toys.

    They had Megatron, Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Starscream and Bumblebee.

    In the packet starscream looked quite good. Prime is very hollow as you can see from the pictures.

    £12.99 feels too much for them to be honest but happy hunting.
