    Went into Bolton Smyths today, had a gazillion Allicons but no er megs or the rest of wave 2. Give it a week and I'm guessing they'll be in store.

    FYI in case you haven't noticed his arms are Mushroom pegged and they seem identical (barring ER Megs simplification of 'em), I'm looking at swapping out the arms myself to get rid of the naff black section at the back of ER Megs, as well as head swapping, so you might at least be able to salvage your wrist swivel work?

    any ideas if Rotorstorm has turned up at FP? (specifically Bristol FP) - i know they're normally pretty good at stocking Selects..

    Just popped in to Forbidden Planet megastore (and grabbed myself an Airwave), they have loads of wave 2 as well as a couple of Scorponoks. Unfortunately he's too big for me to sneak home.

    That was a leading part of the temptation ;) 

    Smyths site back up, telling me that all figures I mentioned now available in the Warrington store, but I'm in work and cannot leave the store to go buy me some plastic, and I don't finish until 22:00 tonight! Its right across the road from me!

    Nevermind will pop over tomorrow on my day off :D

    You know that dodgy curry you had last night? The one that's been repeating all day? Well, what's that gurgling in your gut? Oh dear! Urgent toilet break needed! You might be need a good few minutes here, probably at least 15 or 20 minutes...o_O

    Hahaha I wish but considering I'm the Shift Leader I'm not technically allowed to leave the site unattended, it would literally be a 20 minute trip at most but I'd get told off :oops: .

    Oh well, gives me something to do tomorrow! And gives me a little bit of time to reorganise my shelf in anticipation of the Quintesson take over!

    The Amazon UK Bluestreak listing went live overnight, albeit not in stock

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087YT53GY/

    Usual caveats for Amazon UK exclusive orders IE they'll take you're money now and refund it later when they don't get it

    I didn’t realise Earthrise Soundwave was going to be a Smyths Exclusive. Catalogue is now in store by the way

    Phoned Amazon about Scorponok. This got my order updated to 'arriving 6-7th October' and a day later bumped up to the 1st.

    2 days ago, pending payment appears in my account. Sits there pending for 2 days. Jusr checked. No longer pending but nor did they ultimately take the money.

    ...I'm never getting Scorponok via them, am I?

    I'll take a punt on the Coneheads - even odds they cancel it though ; At least some of the things that sold out on pre-order are actually showing up as in stock - even if they don't seem to hang around very long.

    Colchester has a good display of just about everything, in fact, it was only Scorponok I couldn’t actually see (Blitz is at the top there, and there are Allicons too).

    I took a Quint and an Arcee, a few of each left of those too.
    I can see Airwave being the warmer, possibly due to his pinhead.
    and in most cases I like pinheads!

    That's alright, should compensate for my bulk buying of them ;-)

    Seriously, you want this toy, it's FAB. So much you can do with it.
