    Smyths don't tend to carry core. ID's (and Pulse's) were from Hasbro

    I’m sure a £12 Skylynx was mentioned (unless I’m remembering wrong) he’s the main reason iv’e been refreshing the Game and House of Fraser websites religiously over the past few weeks!

    And a £7 Inferno. They’ve both been at that price so might not appear again I guess?

    Where is the best place to get core then if not ID or Amazon (and eBay) assuming if GAME doesn't get Bomb Burst? I know The Entertainments had a few cos I bought SSB Shockwave from there.

    Game had BB on their website for a few hours at £3.99 it sold out fast but from what ive heard nobodies orders were fulfilled.

    No legacy Evolution at all on the site still, not even Breakdown who's technically part of Evo but packaged as Legacy

    Yeah Entertainer have had a few through but not all of them. I've only seen the first Studio Series wave and some Legacy w1? w2? Both? Not sure I've seen Spike, Ratchet or Rumble on shelf in the plastic.

    You tried Pulse?

    Why not ID or Amazon?

    Bomb Burst is due a repack in Evolution w2

    Well right now-

    ID- Sold out

    Amazon- Got him for £20 which is overly price (Core class are usually less than £15)

    Hasbro Pulse- Sold Out

    Ebay- Super expensive due to oversea delivery which is not worth it.

    I'm not super desperate to get him per say but with the Evolution being out, I thought the B B was out by now?

    Speaking of cancelled, Amazon have cancelled my preorder of TM2 Megatron on the day they finally got stock in, and seemingly to sell it at a higher price. And in a bit of a dirty tactic, the claim is that it is for lack of stock, when it has been in stock all day from them.

    Speaking with them has gotten me a credit for the price difference, but now I'm wondering- anyone else who preordered at £39 from Amazon back in August- did they follow through with your order, or cancel it like with mine to sell the same stock at £63 instead?

    Thanks for reminding me, I just checked my order and its coming tomorrow at the £29 I paid, no need to chase them up or anything, didn't get an email though letting me know it had shipped.

    Smyths has just removed some listings on the site. Around 9 in total including Kingdom Rodimus, Legacy Bulkhead and Nightprowler. Hopefully they’ll add listing for the Legacy Evo figures soon so I can find where my nearest Tarn Is!

    FWIW, I think mine was still showing as "arriving today by 10pm" when I checked on my midmorning break, though the lack of any dispatch had me skeptical. When I checked again at lunch, that was when it had vanished from my orders, with the cancellation sheepishly hiding in my inbox.

    I hope it goes better for you, but I think that unless you get a dispatch email today, it's not something to put any faith in for tomorrow.

    Yeah I'm not holding out much hope now seeing all the other reports and that stock sitting at Only One Left, but I'll cross my fingers I guess.

    I didn't know of that. Hopeful.
    I got one from GAME the Christmas before last. But that's a great price.
    Fire truck Inferno and/or ant Inferno?

    Yeah, Bomb Burst.

    I'm just used to view Toysmyths as the main place that has the current toys as that is the only retail that does so (well ok there's also The Entertainers too).

    I had a look and what the heck? Blaster is back to £20 now? It was £15 days ago.

    Legacy Blaster is listed as £15, Kingdom Blaster is listed as £20 but they’re both completely out of stock according to the site so don’t know why either is there.
