    The Hertfordshire Scalper strikes! I was in Tesco Hatfield on Sunday to find over a dozen DotM Deluxes, around six Voyagers, and a full shelf of CyberVerse Commanders, along with a variety of PCCs and CyberVerse Legends. Just back from my trip..... and they have two Deluxe BB, one Deluxe Ratchet, two Seaspray, and the only CyberVerse Commanders aside from Ironhide, SP and Prime is a lone Powerglide. And all teh shelves were a mess.

    Seriously, I dont mind people buying a couple to make some cash. Whatever. But, to go all wholesale like that just sucks and ruins the enjoyment for a lot of people. Scum.

    Big Hoss is a monster truck or 4X4 from the stealth force line.

    HA Jazz? I didn't know a repaint existed. Never got RotF version, so would welcome this. Any pics of him?

    I think he means the black repaint of HA Sideswipe.

    So what recent PCC have we got in this country? I remember seeing Heavytread as well as Skyhammer but I'm curious to know who else we got.

    I don't think there's been any two packs since then,

    Last 5 packs: Constructicons and Dinobots with limited distribution.

    If i'm wrong, i'm sure someone will correct me.

    Also, Steelshot and Darkscream 2-packs at mass retail (well, TRU and Fenwicks, certainly).

    Will definitely be getting Heavytread and Steelshot if I find them at the half-price that somebody else had seen them at (a page or two back).

    So who is black HA Sideswipe's wave mate then? Surely not Bumblebee? Although recently we do seem to be having a lot of figures released/soon to be released that we thought we would never get over here, such as black Sideswipe, Stealth Force Big Hoss, PCC Heavytread wave... Next thing you know we'll be getting HA Mudflap!!!

    Also, very interesting that deluxe DotM Prime is not a Sainsbury's exclusive. I wonder if this means we'll be seeing the yellow and blue deluxe Sideswipe anywhere else?

    His wavemate is Jazz and Bumblebee, I think. When I was in Hong Kong I had a talk with the owner of a toy store which sold TFs, Iron Man, Marvel Universe and loads more. I helped him unload a MASSIVE box with loads of smaller boxes inside, and I remember opening up a wave with Black Sideswipe.
