    Draculus. Picked it up from them at MCM but the foot that is hidden in the tray turned out to be incorrect.

    After rereading the emails I've opted to send the whole figure back to them as requested.

    Speaking of Hamleys, I went into the London branch and Rodimus was £130 and the Ark was £210. That shop is ridiculously overpriced!

    I asked Pulse if the release dates on their website for Legacy were correct for UK release dates and they confirmed they are btw

    I think it might’ve been mentioned before but I can confirm Smyths have the correct shoulder version of Galvatron in stores. I saw at least two today mixed in amongst the incorrect shoulder version.

    I didn't notice - are they a lot later than the American dates ?
    I didn't pay a lot of attention to them so far since they are not out until 2022 and nothing jumped up and screamed me as a "must have" enough to be worth the bother & expense of importing it. I might have imported Skids if he was a bit less "meh" and I won't rule it out if I decide to order something else at some point and that lowers the postage charge.

    Oh and just to say that I got an e-mail from Hasbro Pulse to say that my Shattered Glass Gold Bug had shipped.

    No biggie I know but Jetfire has been out somewhere provincial as I picked him up minus one arm at a boot a few months ago.
    not seen Drift before, might go 'uptown' on Saturday for a quick look (and to finally pick up my Sisters of Battle comics).

    Thanks dude.

    Forbidden Planet in London has Waspinator in stock. Solid case, just happened to be in store as they arrived so got the first one!

    Hamley's finally delivered my Roddy today, huzzah!

    They also sent me someone else's order, in its own separate box, but also somehow addressed to me?! It's meant for an address in Ilford (according to the order slip inside) and I'm in Wales, so no idea how they've managed this cock-up?

    Not sure why, but my local Co-op has (as part of a small smattering of Christmas toys and novelties) got hold of a pair of Titans Return Titanmasters. £7.99 each. Apeface and Skytread, I think.

    The wee Mini-Vehicles ones? Probably some remainder stock from around Xmas 2017/8 that got ridonkulously discounted down to a fiver a piece they've found down the back of the warehouse racking?

    Reading Smyth's have tons of SS ROTF Bumblebee and Jolt. Tons of Kingdom Wheeljack and restocks of Airrazor.

    Picked up a Galvatron with corrected shoulders. They had a couple others but I think they also had some with incorrect shoulders. It's hard to tell in bad lighting. I recommend to anyone who isn't sure how to tell, to take a torch and see if you can tell if the tops of his shoulders are smooth. If they are, then you've found a correct one.

    Sonner Toys took SS Sentinel Prime off their site, so I emailed enquiring and they said they weren't sure if they can fulfil it so asked me to choose something else! So much for "All items ordered are guaranteed"
