    Found these in the Toymaster in Cavan, just besides Dealz. @Black Convoy unsure if the Smash Changers Scourge has been seen in person yet, is this a world first? Made sure to get plenty of images of him in case. There were no signs of the voyagers or deluxes, just the weaponisers, beast mode Bumblebee, beast alliance Rhinox, Scourge and the roleplay masks. I picked up Optimus and Chainclaw, they're a great little thing.

    Smyth's in Galway

    I also noticed they had unopened box cases on the top shelf for the Smash Changers and ROTB mainline Optimus Prime's voyager

    Any sign of the battlemasters in either of those assortments? They're the only ones I really want from the ROTB mainline

    Are those the standalones like the Rhinox gatling gun? I was looking on the shelf for them but found nothing. Really interested in picking them up but just couldn't find them. They had Optimus Prime & Chainclaw along with Optimus Primal & Arrowstripe(? I think that's their name). But none of the standalones. If they were there I would've picked them up.

    No worries, I've been eagle-eyed on the email notifications because I'm curious to see if that Scourge I found was the first sighting or not. I figure he was probably seen in some country first but I certainly haven't heard of it till now, I was very surprised to see him. When I first saw the Buzzworthy yellow on the shelf I was confused and thought it was Bonecrusher or something which I found odd because Toymaster hardly does Studio Series (I've basically only seen Thrust, Toymaster is basically just a bunch of shelfwarmers.) And then I see its Scourge! I was almost tempted to buy him but €40 for a figure which I'm pretty sure has hardly any articulation due to his gimmick was just... no. I have the Studio Series one arriving on Monday and that'll keep me content. At least I'm pretty sure he's coming on Monday. I got my order receipt from Big Bang a few hours ago but the tracking number doesn't pull up anything so I assume they haven't put it into the post office yet which is odd given how I don't know how else they'd get the tracking number without An Post giving them one when they put it in to the post office...

    There is a lot of random bits and bobs in the toy line, but I think it might be the first in person shot. Pretty sure it was announced by Japan, but I don’t remember seeing a physical copy.

    Oh thanks for tagging me! Now we know how that Smash Changer Scorge will be released outside Japan. He was revealed as a ToysRUs Japan exclusive but we had no news about him for the US or other countries

    No worries! I knew he had been announced but I hadn't heard anything about him being part of Buzzworthy, or any in-person sightings of him. Was wondering whether I had stumbled upon a free news credit lol. Glad to see its been of help.

    They also have the beast alliance prime and the wolf. Im not sure what theyre called but they have bumblebee and the black cat, no sign of arcee or primal yet. They have the larger figures i think theyre called titans or smash changers of prime, Megatron and cheetor and the masks

    Pretty cool haul, they all look like really fun figures especially both Primal figures and deluxe Airazor. By the way, I was wondering how much is voyager Primal? It's not listed on the Smyths website and was hoping to get him and voyager Prime next week.

    Im having so much fun messing around with them. They nailed this toyline imo. He was €35 in smyths. What i dont understand is how they can charge €30 for the deluxes doe lol

    Yeah they honestly look like great fun, Prime looks cool and Primal looks pretty accurate and from the reviews I've seen he's got a unique and fun Transformation. Can't wait to get them, it's annoying Smyths haven't put them on the website.

    Yeah the prices for the voyagers sounds pretty reasonable for what you're getting but €30 for the deluxes is honestly surprising and kinda unreasonable. I wouldn't have said no at €20-25, especially for Airazor and maybe Cheetor. Hopefully Smyths reduces the prices soon lol.
