    TRU Reading - FoC voyagers, one Soundwave, two Grimlocks; 30th deluxes - plenty of all of them :D 

    Picked up a Trailcutter and a dwarf Megs

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Leeds TRU had the new non-comic IDW deluxes in - 3 or 4 of each on the pegs, minus 1 Orion Pax which I've bought to keep my Kapow Trailcutter company. Also had 3 FOC Soundwaves, 3 Grimlocks, a shit load of Prime and some reduced Kre-o sets.

    Oxford TrU had nothing new at all. Gutted.

    So rather than drive off I went back in to ask when the next delivery is. I explained that I was a collector and I knew a new series was due in. The guy said he knew a delivery had come in today with TF's on, and to ask a member of staff in at the top. I found a guy and explained again, and before I could carry on he said:
    "Yeah they came in today, who do you want, Soundwave or Grimlock?"

    It pays to ask! Now have FoC Soundwave and IDW Megs from Kapow :)

    Dont worry, he's worth the wait. Took me a little while to get transformation down, but he's a brilliant figure.

    The instructions are wrong through, they tell you to fold the legs so that the feet end up toward his head... the feet actually need to end up at the bottom. When you get to that step, look a few panels ahead and magically they now show the legs in the correct position

    No IDW at Poole TRU.

    They have FoC Soundwave and Grimlock though. Shame I already have Soundwave and if they had released Grimlock back when I wanted him, I'm sure they'd have a sale, but as it's been so long I've kinda gone 'meh' over him. Having him in hand didn't change this.

    If anyone is able to help me get a Voyager Darksteel I would really appreciate it. Especially if at £20!
    I have no Tesco superstores anywhere close to me. At least an hour away. So I can't drive up there once a week in the hopes of getting one.
    Thanks a lot guys :)

    24.99 for FOC voyagers and 12.99 for the flirty and 30 deluxes Liam. They are on the peg board at the end of the isle where the prime figures are.

    TRU Peterborough has the IDW deluxes and the Soundwave, Grimlock voyagers. Some bumblebees have paint missing from the headlights/shoulders.

    I've got a Bumblebee that wont tab together at the back, an Orion Pax with two right shoulder pieces and a Megatron that seems to hate his alt mode and wants to fly apart. I look forward to Trailcutter and his problems. :rolleyes2

    Same here, although I didn't get pax so I can't comment. Trail cutters chest dosent tab in well either. When you move his arms forward, the whole chest flips back up again.

    i popped in at lunch today and they were re-stoking the FoC Voyages, theres now plenty of each

    also picked up a Trailcutter and Megs - who by the look of it seems to be the rarer of the line?

    How come we dont get the comics included with the 30th deluxes?
