    I couldn't either but some kind person here posted a direct link so it seemed a shame not to grab him for around £15

    I'm hoping Nottingham's TRU have these as I'm really looking forward to collecting them. I wasn't a fan at first of the idea but after getting AM Bulkhead, I'm warming to the idea :) 

    My mum text me this morning and informed me that Newark's Asda now have TFs in. I've put my order in for an Airachnid ;)

    Well, I ordered a Dreadwing earlier this week and I THINK it all went through OK.

    Upon being redirected back to TRU after paying through PayPal I got a blank page. Subsequently there's nothing on my order history. I sent a couple of emails - one to I-Parcel (who took my money) and one to Toys R Us. I-Parcel never replied and Toys R Us told me there was no record of the transaction, and gave me the contact details of another team. Who failed to respond to my email.

    However, following all of that I had a receipt and dispatch notification emailed to me from TRU to presumably all is OK...

    Yeah with the collectors cards at the checkout tills. They're in the box but you'll have to check in every aisle because they're only in one of the checkout aisles (at least in my TRU).

    Further to my previous post, Asda Newark has another Airachnid if anyone is local. They had all the others from the wave except Rumble.

    They're £10 each.

    & they are in TRU Manchester. But £2.50 a pop! Still, I argued that they are in the Buy one get on half price offer (its got TF Prime pronted on it it!) so got three at half price. Talking of which that offer extends to the Generations figures too. I picked up FoC Jazz & Shockwave for £19.48.

    John Lewis has 1 Rumble with a complete with Wave 5 and a load of Bot Shots. They have Voyager Starscreams but no Bulkhead.

    Tesco, Hatfield (Herts) - The same freaking two Deluxe Arcee's that have been on the shelf for the last two months. The same four or five Voyager Primes and Megs. The same Weaponiser Bees and the same Commanders and Legion. Honestly, the entire TF display hasnt changed in months and Generations/FoC simply doesnt exist in this area.

    Asda, Hatfield (Herts) - Wait for it..... half a dozen Legion figures have been moved from one side of the aisle to the other. And, thats it.

    I could probably find something that had been released in the last six months if I decided to drive for 23 minutes to Sainsburys or TRU, but there is a uni here and both these supermarkets are really large, main stores. WTF?

    maybe you should've drove the 23 mins! + why would a uni affect you from Transformer hunting? unless you believe that the students may have bought them all up! & therefore a wasted journey
