    TRU are having a laugh. £25 for FOC Soundwave?

    I paid less than that from tru.com and that included shipping!!

    its a bit much, but i do want grimmers bad. However, thanks to your comment i realised i could order from tru.com, and now have Generations Blitzwing and Springer winging their way to me, for less than 50 quid. So sweet, thanks for that! Couldn't export BH Shockwave though annoyingly...

    I've been phoning the Bristol TRUS and they say no Grims or Soundwaves yet, although i suppose they may have just not hit the shelves....

    Got myself FOC Soundwave in US packaging months ago, so I'll pass on Grimlock until the shelves are packed with him and the price drops.

    Do the DX's still come with the comics? I noticed that some of the Marvel Universe comic 2-packs replaced the pack in comics with a fold out poster for the UK release.

    Tesco in Clacton now have the Predacon Rising legends class (or legion whatever they're called now), plenty of the Abominus gift set there so picked one up. Brilliant little figures and my first ever legends/legion class purchase ever.

    Tesco in North Harbour, Portsmouth had the Predacon Rising stock too. Was torn between grabbing the Cindersaur/Smokescreen set or Skylynx and somehow ended up with both :eek:

    Tesco broughton had all te new predacons rising stuff. I didnt realise there is only one figure in each size class. WTF? Is it me or does it all seem pointless? Why not just use them in the beast hunters line?

    Nothing new in tru chester though. Stull not sure wether to get soundwave or blaster even if i do see them.

    Portman Rd Tesco in Reading has the Abominus set, Skylynx and a legion/commander two pack (can't remember who was in it tho)

    Shelves were pretty empty overall, wonder if that's because they're planning a move or whether they're getting ready to put everything out tomorrow when the kids have finished school

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Not a problem. Glad it helped. :thumb 

    Some of the TFs on TRU.com are rather frustrating as they only ship a few internationally.

    Hmmm. Personally I'm not too fussed as I buy the normal IDW releases anyway, but is there any reason we tend to get stiffed out of things like this, other than cost cutting? An actual legal thing maybe?
