    SAF are about the best on average now, between cost, stock levels, and a shipping email actually meaning something.

    Same here. If Amazon US falls though, hope IDT, SAF, Kapow or the UK Amazon somehow get some in.

    Still keeping an eye for Soundwave and Bumblebee on Smyths and Amazon UK have not charge me for Skywarp/Thundercreaker yet.

    SAF, and for me - Comics & Cocktails knocking it out of the park.

    Kapow have let it slip a bit (still waiting on any glimmer of hope of Runabout), and IDT I probably won't order from again for a while.

    I have to admit a minor regret at shifting my Energon Air Defence team, as they would indeed suit him to a tee, and go for a pretty penny now IIRC.
    I still fancy a stubby twin cannon or summink for that forearm though.

    Welcome, New Bloods, it's your wallets that will be bled in initiation in here!

    Smyths have Kingdom wave 2 up for pre-order (thanks, @SJW)

    Transformers Toys | Transformers Figures | Smyths Toys

    Interesting that they really have gone all-in on core class, and that you can actually pre-order it all! Please let that be the start of it FFS.

    Gonna be honest, I’m in the same situation. PC ended up being a bit more expensive than expected (prices on parts were higher than the partspicker website said they’d be...) and I’m gonna have to make do with Selects Exhaust with the Nonnef kit on the 25th, and nothing else until at least mid January.

    What little I have left is going toward Kingdom wave 1 when it comes to Smyths, and Rattrap online. PCs are expensive, yo. But robots are even more.

    Absolute mongs over at Smyths put pictures of the inner bot up for Ultra Magnus. Only two images, complete loons lmao.

    Gigawatt and Nemesis Prime just got pushed back to 14 Dec to 21 Dec on Smyths so say goodbye to them as Christmas Presents :( 

    Soundwave has so far stuck to 01 Dec to 08 Dec, and all the new Kingdom figures are up with a March arrival.

    They really are shocking when it comes to our favourite hobby.

    Me too and I really want him as I've not got any other NPs.

    There's a couple floating round on eBay but with postage they're getting up towards £75 and I'm not having that :eek:

    MP Spinout on the way from Kapow.

    Wow, an MP. Fancy that. Woo. And maybe a hoo.

    PvP has just gotten Thrust in so I'm guessing he had to resort to Robot Kingdom like an almost-ordinary colleckta.

    Someone here mentioned it because I did the same as you, there was nonsense around Magnus availability too. Now of course they can't shift him and his twin is due.
