    Well, so much for XE's exchange rate calculator! Was there an additional Import Charge once in your basket to get it there?

    It's really annoying that I'd probably have picked up him, Snapdragon and Smokey if not for the fact that I'm not allowed to buy much until I save up for the PS5 and I'm using that for exclsuives...

    Trust me, I’m in a similar position myself, save it for the exclusives. I panic-bought Apeface the day he was in stock in Smyths in NI out of FOMO, only for him to still be available a full six months later. Same with ER Wave 1 deluxes.

    I’d say Snapdragon will be a shelfwarmer, no one sane or under the age of 40 knows who he is. Same goes for the Judge. Deluxes seem to get restocks, so Smokescreen is fine too. Again, even if they all go out of stock at Smyths, the chances of finding them online for a good price are far higher than finding Bluestreak or G2 Megs or something.

    At least I'll get to mess around with some of the molds as exclusives as the Quintesson Pit has Judge and Baillif (basically an Alicon), Bluestreak and Prowl can cover for Smokey, Runabout can do duty for Runamuck and if it takes me until Christmas to save up Lifeline can be a taster for Arcee.

    Snapdragon has some merit.
    He's got an SR71 alt mode
    He's also a Dragon
    He's a Headmaster
    He's a Triplechanger.
    He complements the existing Apeface release.

    I'm a little put out that Snapdragon already has three 3rd party kits and yet no ones made Doubledealer leg extenders yet. (not to mention a monster truck wheel kit for Crosshairs).

    Looking at the recomendations on Amazon it looks like the have some other Transformers on sale too. I must go check to see if they sell anything else In Deman let me down on.

    But I would say this don't forget about ebay I ordered the last wave of Micromasters on ebay and got them pretty quickly and they were actually a decent price too.

    Since someone posted some images I will say I managed to get some cheap Battlecall figures - they are "OK" but nothing spectacular.they are very much clipped together (not much in the way of pins) and are kind light. Meteorfire has some old school charm to him and Wildwheel has an amusing Cade Bane vibe to him, Bumblebee is just another (slightly underpainted) Bumblebee, also the clear armour is a bit to dark in colour. The gimmick is of course utterly useless (as is the way with Cyberverse toys)

    Neat - Perhaps a few pounds over priced mind, & Dirge's screaming face isn't so great - but I think I'll go order those... (but If I do they will go down in price substantially inside a week - LOL)

    I wonder if Thrust is going to be a mainline Kingdom Voyager, a Walgreens exclusive or Brown Box Select series toy ?
    I'd kind like Thrust to be a normal release and perhaps save the Brown box for Nacelle or a G2 Starscream / Ramjet giftset.


    I ordered a Rotorstorm - as is usual with Amazon it's down to a flip of the coin if I actually get it or not - I noticed the Dead Universe Optimus came into stock too - but costs more than IDT's one did.

    Now we just need Smyths to get those WFCT wave Preorders up (and if they are decently clever they might order some more wave 1 too - since I bet they put the wrong thing in their Christmas Catalogues).
