    I don't know what the figure situations are in other asda's but my store was having a roll back on a lot of the figures. I picked up the TMNT turtles from £7 to £5 well, 4.50 with discount for me!

    There is jack all TF figures in my store but I am guessing that stores that do have have the stock will be rolled back.

    Entertainer website had them for £15, though that's not taking into account P&P I suppose.

    For those looking for MP Prime, Liverpool TRU now has 3, plus a Thundertron. They did have an Ultra Magnus, but he's come home with me.

    They also had some transformable War Machine and Iron Man toys but they looked poop so I left them behind,

    Just thought I'd swing by to say Nottingham TRU has about 9 MP primes if people that way are still looking. Went in on the off chance they would have Kreo Combiners, no such luck yet though.

    Just got back from there and they must have found an extra one somewhere as they had 10 in stock. Have they got the whole countries worth of supply?

    Also spotted were 3x TFP Voyager Skyquake!! I didn't even know this guy was released over here yet?

    Oh I'm now quietly praying that Skyquake will pop up everywhere now...

    Anyway, as Nutmeg stated a couple of days ago, I found the Kre-O combiners in Forbidden Planet Glasgow (£6.99) and Govan Asda (£7.99). Asda also had wave 1 of the Microchangers.

    I picked up Bruticus, Superion and Devastator in FP and Predaking in Asda, FP has since restocked theirs after I took 3 of their 4. I love these little guys, I can't recommend them enough.

    Also something to note, on the back of the packaging they have the Beats Hunters logo, does this make them the first BH branded items to land in the UK (despite them having no relevance to the show)?

    Did the Americans get a TRU exclusive second release of the First Edition TF Prime toys? If so, is it possible we will be getting them too?

    Also, when are the next wave of FOC Generation toy coming out here?

    1) Yes.


    2) No (in the absence of evidence to support such a conclusion.)


    3) Don't know. But if they are, probably TRU only... it's the only place the FOC Data Discs have been seen (?), and at an apparent 13 GBP each, the price seems to be padded a bit.

    To try and get Prime Skyquake I hit Edinburgh Toys R Us.

    Loads of Prime Voyagers, all Prime, Starscream, Ultra Magnus and Thundertron. If you want Skyquake phone ahead, as I picked up the only one they had in today.

    Was also in the Maybury B&M looking for the Starscream BotShots launcher, none of those, but tons of the other 3. LOADS of Dark of the Moon leader figures and some voyagers. I'd forgot how small the Voyagers actually looked.

    Was in Bromley entertainer earlier and I noticed that all their transformers stuff has been moved on to the bargain shelves in the middle of the shop. Wasn't actually on sale but it does look like they're trying to get rid of rid.
