    Anyone in NW Kent know of a decent tescos? I'm surrounded by Asda's and the occasional sainsbury's but I don't know a single reliable local tescos.

    Shockwave is now mine. Liverpool Forbidden Planet also had a Topspin, which I liberated too.

    I was in Tescos in Newbury today because I was determined to buy at least one transformer today, and so I picked up Cyberverse Commander Sentinel Prime...and well it was at that new promotional price already (it's only the 13th, yet the promotion is supposed to start on the 15th)

    Here's some proof if needed

    ^ Did the shelf tag have the sale price on it? My Tesco have done away with their in store scanner thingy so I can't tell the price of an item until I get to the checkout now.

    Yup. Tesco price reductions are here as I saw in Swindon today.

    Legion £2.97
    Commander £4.97
    Deluxe £8.97 (I think)
    Voyager £20 (I think)

    If you're looking for Powerglide & Blackout and there's none on the shelf then hunt in the overhead rack for a box labelled TRA MV3 CYBERVERSE PLUS ASST W2 11. There's one of each in there along with 2 Optimus, 1 Sentinal & 1 Ironhide. Just don't bother looking in the Swindon branch cos I had them all for members on another forum :) 

    Saw Voyager Ironhides, dlx BB, Crancase & .... the green & white race car?

    FP London now have Voyager Shockwave and Skyhammer in stock for £29.99, I was tempted by Skyhammer, but think I'll go online and save £6 :) 

    Also they have Heavytread for £13, etc

    TRU Bristol (Brislington) had new PCC 2 packs. so I've finally got the new jet and tank guys both awesome.

    Also a nice surprise was a new wave of Generations I seen WFC CJ and Thunderwing. all seem to be US stock judging by the full bio on the back

    Also the PCC 2 packs were labeled at 9,99 but at the till they were 4.99

    TRU Chester only had a WFC Megatron and a Blurr from the Generations case this morning. I bought Blurr so just Megatron there now. Blurr is in US packaging.

    PCC 2-packs were all labelled as £4.99. I think it was mostly the ones from Heavytreads wave.

    Picked up Kup from TRU Warrington, but sadly no Blurrs left. Must say he really is a neat figure. Cant wait for an I gear head. They had megatron, cliffjumper, skullgrin, thunderwing and scourge in stock.

    I also spied a box containing the Cybervese BB Mobile Battle Bunker and Screamer Orbitaln Assualt carrier.

    Thank you, Sightings Thread. Upon reading here the Tescos sale had started early I rushed out to see what I could find. Great Yarmouth's big store in town doesn't have the shelf edge tickets on yet so I had to check that they had the sale in their computers. Which they did.
    DotM stuff they had was Voyager Megatron, Optimus and Ironhide. Cyberverse Commanders Megatron, Ironhide, Sentinel, Optimus, Blackout and Powerglide (well, now minus the Powerglide and Blackout, but I did see a couple of fresh cases of Cyberverse on the storage shelf so they might have more). Deluxe Bumblebee, Ratchet, Starscream, Crankcase, Skids and Roadbuster. Legion Barricade, Crankcase and about a million Bumblebees. Still, all a pretty good selection for those hunting. Would've liked to have got a Topspin but I dunno if they've hit yet.

    On the way home swung by the Caister Tesco to see what they had. Shelf edge tickets showed the sale price. Poor showing though with just Cyberverse Commanders Megatron, Optimus, Ironhide and Sentinel.

    And now I'm skint. :p
