    Awwwww yeah - Marvel Legends Nimrod, Psylocke and Fantomex three pack was restocked and cheap again on Amazon.com so I ordered one, along with a Cyberverse Gnaw and some of that Kiki Action Figure Joint Lubricant stuff.
    I only want Nimrod from the 3 pack, so does anyone here want to take Psylocke and/or Fantomex off my paws?

    Thanks for the info on heroes. I had been told before to only watch the first season, so with all the reinforcement, I think I will do just that. watching it mostly on double speed.



    My wife and I just watched good Omens too, great series. loved it

    Are we thinking Smyths might start to see Trailbreaker and Bee this week ? I've noticed a lot of places have November 1st as their 'Available From' date.

    Going to be interesting to see how this knocks onto December releases. There's a few that are actually up as preorders, but things like Soundwave just have an expected date :(

    Well, apologies for the confusion generated but the reasons for me being somewhat tangential, and concentrating on the relevant related fallout for us collectors are I believe somewhat self-evident. For reference I wouldn't be so cagey about passing on a TF Toy Bulletin. ;) 
    I, uh, wouldn't get my hopes up for anything going down this next month TBH. Lower all expectations, factor for delays!

    Go ahead, it’s great! Slitherfang is my favourite Battle/Rampmaster so far.

    I really, genuinely thought it was about indemand announcing figure delays or something. Never crossed my mind that the mainland’s going back in to you-know-what.

    I’m worried too mate, Trailbreaker and Soundwave are the two figures I want. Especially concerned for Soundwave, don’t want a repeat of last year’s Astrotrain shenanigans where they cancelled my preorder. Trailbreaker will probably be fine though, so long as they get him in stock early next week. After that, there could be trouble.

    Think FP and somewhere else had early to mid November, would make sense as 2 Joes are due at mine Monday from Amazon EU.

    current take from this is that Thew monitors my posts, and is partaking in a deep-cover enablement campaign.

    How likely is it that a Smyth's would have wave 3 deluxes or wave 2 netflixes in the building? If high I may try popping there tomorrow and pleading with them to sell some early.

    I think they released Wave 2 deluxes on a Sunday, so perhaps they’ll come in stock tomorrow on both the website and shelves. If not, perhaps that pleading idea may work.

    ...
    If there’s no Soundwave for a good few months, then I may just save the money and buy the aforementioned Rodders Unicronners. Of course, this all rides on Thew’s review not painting it as a useless moustached lump.
