    The Southall/Hayes area is FINALLY up to date (well, as up to date as anywhere relying on UK retail can be) as the Bull's Bridge Tesco has all the BH Stuff and the Bionicle-style Wheeljack and Soundwave things, and the TrU opposite has (had) some IDW deluxes - though having picked up an Orion Pax, I left them with just one each of Bee and Trailguy.

    Colindale ASDA has wave 2 Kreo Microchangers in, but when I got there it was only a partial set and there are even less now. £1.47 each or something like that.

    Entertainer in Watford has Kreo Cliffjumper/Vehicon set on discount, £4 instead of £12! Which is much more palatable considering all I really want is the Cliffjumper.

    Where are they? I scoured the TF shelves yesterday and couldn't find a trace of the IDW deluxes? Got me a Prime deluxe Dreadwing from Sainsbury's Fosse Park £9.75. They had weird Ratchet too.

    Bah! Futile hunt for IDW deluxes in West Yorkshire hopped over to Wakefield TRU: BH up to date, OP Vs Megs Constructabot Set, ONE FOC Grimlock, FOC data disks and TWO MP Primes!
    Bradford TRU disappointed once again and Trailcutter continues to elude me but Bradford Tescos (down the hill from TRU) has the Predacons Rising exclusives finally.
    Bradford Home Bargains had plenty of £5.99 TFP deluxes including a full squad of Vehicons.

    I'd love to get Masterpiece Soundwave or Metroplex. Not sure if I can justify spending that amount of one figure though

    Lots of Generations Grimlock and Soundwave in Solihull TRU, along with a load of the IDW deluxes. I didn't get any in the end, as I didn't really like any of them. 'Trailcutter' looked nice, but I was completely put off by the dodgy shoulders.

    So has anyone here seen Beast Hunters Shockwave yet? I feel like I've waited forever for that guy... :(  I've pretty much run out of other Transformers to buy =P

    Tesco's in Hatfield has Loads of Predacon Rising stuff, that Big Darksteel Grimwing repaint and the Abominus multipack, oh and Skylynx which looks horrible. They have that ridiculous gigantic Prime with the spinny dragon backpack thing too for 50 quid!!!!

    All the original BH stuff is on sale.

    Don't recall them hitting TRU, but they were offered to comic shops and the like, so worth checking them if you have any local. Might not be around anymore though as it was a couple of months back I got them in.

    Gateshead TRU yesterday had plenty of FOC Grimlock and Soundwave, a couple each of IDW Orion Pax, Bumblebee and Trailcutter, and just one Megatron. Myself and Nutmeg relieved them of 2 Grimlocks, Soundwaves, both Orion Pax and I helped myself to the only Megatron :D 

    Also, they had the Contructabots Ironhide, Starscream, Soundwave and Wheeljack. I picked up Soundwave from Smyth's at the Fort outside Glasgow, he's pretty cool.

    MP Soundwave no longer seems to appear in the search results on the TRU website. Sold out already?
