    Got Soundwave and yup, they literally only had one (online says there's no stock to reserved)

    Eyeah if you're a collector that want to preserved the box, reserved online is not ideal for you!

    Ok it look like I undererstimate this tiny GAME store. It look like it is "up to date" with the online store cos before going to the counter, I saw

    HISS Tank Megatron
    Tonka collab Constructicon
    BW Creature Collide Multipack (£44.99)

    Granted it didn't have all of them like I didn't saw the SSB Soundwave.

    Also I want to point out that The Entertainers got new Transformers stocks, the Earthsparks toys! Scroll down the page

    Search transformers | The Toyshop Site

    This includes-
    Deluxe
    Warriror
    Tacticon
    1 Step Flip Changer
    Action Figure

    Granted they are all "out of stock" but I'm assuming they are simply putting it online first and then get the stock? Funny how they reveal the new stock and Smyths haven't yet eventhought some of the store do got the new Legacy wave!

    Wehn are they going to lower the remaining old stocks like Pipe althought it is already on low stock?

    Wow that Click & Reserve sticker isn't great @renkencen

    I've reserved several Marvel and Star Wars figures at the Bromley Game store over the past couple of weeks and haven't encountered this, thank goodness.

    That store had some of the newer stock in, opposite the counter, including Laser Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Motormaster, Pointblank and Starscream.

    A quick once over with a hair dryer gets stickers like that off perfectly usually.

    Same with the one in North Wales.

    I did notice they put the remaining SS86 Arcee's on the clearance table with a clearance stickers on her.

    Also heh, the reason why I didn't notice Blaster for £15 cos it look like they are out of stock but he is behind another voyager toy as they are at the upper self (the hard to reach height)!

    Somewhat tempted to buy her however if I did really wanted her, I would buy her from ID Toys instead cos she is £13.99 over. Even then I'm tempted for the T30 version they have on their site but she's abit expensive at £15 for a ten years old figure?

    That does seem more likely to have people leaving off ordering them perhaps.

    Even if I am not best pleased about not being able to get an SS Rumble without a premium attached.

    So nothing at Toymaster, guy in there checked and said that Earthspark range should be arriving any day now and he also saw Rise Of The Beasts figures will be arriving in April, unsure if that was studio series or mainline, didn't ask as better half was waiting for me outside lol. I'm guessing it will be a mix or main and studio series

    I see a Tarn or two! Dropped by that very store Friday afternoon and they didn't have any.

    Hello from about a displaced Englishman living about an hour north of Aberdeen, by the way :)

    Evo wave 1 has landed in Smyths Bromborough.
    A few left over Blitzwing's and TMII Megatron's on the upper shelves but no sign of Tarn.

    Anything else new due to crop up in GAME a'la Motormaster, H.I.S.S. Megs et al or have we had all the goodies now? The last month or so there's been at least one new TF in there every time I went in (I go twice a week), so I've been pretty spoiled of late. Then last Friday it was all just stuff I'd already bought. Went home with mixed feelings that day. On one hand slightly disappointed at no new TF to take home, but on the other hand my tired wallet breathed a little sigh of relief.

    If I remember that leak listing, I think we are missing Bomb Burst?
    Speaking of that core class, are the new core classes shows up in Toysmyths or FP etc? I know ID and Amazon had them but they were import.
