    Hey Ironic, I've seen Breacher in ASDA Wembly and Colindale before. Dunno if they're still there or not.

    I've definitely seen him in Tesco Lea Valley, I think yesterday? Tesco Wembley/Brent Park is currently underging renovations, so the toy department has been closed a couple of weeks.

    Stanmore Sainsburys definitely had new HFTD Voyagers (£19.99) Prime and Banzaitron. But I don't know how far afield you roam. If you come up stanmore way PM me a day beforehand and see if want to pop in for a cup of tea.

    And I think I agree, Breacher is probably the best scout ever.

    Will certainly do.

    Though today is a central London day for to be buying Christmas presents and, well, Mrs IronicHide has imposed a no-new-toys-until-January rule owing to the size of Maison IronicHide. I think I can hold on until Wreck-Gar shows up.

    My Beast Machines Cheetor that i ordered from Amazon arrived this morning, 4 days early. I know theres alot of people who hate this figure, but i'm not one of them. I can't complain about a really good Cheetor design and show accuracy.

    I've not been keeping up with the thread (bad me) - has anyone seen Hubcap around in retail?

    So every Tesco but mine then :(  For some reason they have a sudden influx of the IceCream Twins and little else.

    Cheers - I'm rather proud of him :) 

    This new layout is too shiny, makes my eyes hurt.

    Sainsburys Macclesfield has HFTD Deluxe and Voyagers at 25% off. Not sure if its a nationwide offer or not.

    Not really a sighting but what could be confirmation Generations ends at wave 2 over here, was looking on the system(TRU) at work today seeing if anything new was on there and the status for generations has gone from A(active) to X(x-line) meaning once the stock has gone from the company thats it no more

    I think that's a safe assumption, and really, shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us. Still sad news if true though.

    At least I have everything I wanted from that line already.

    I'm still struggling to find the bloody Megatron :(  oh well, Kapow at the end of the month should sort that. It's extremely sad since it's proven a faster seller than the large Speed stars that i've not seen anyone buy instead of Generations.

    At least Hasbro US seem to have seen it coming and changed around HFTD to include Jazz and Tracks.

    Sainsburys in Gosforth seem to have sold all TFs in the sale, and all they have is the RPMs which nobody bought, even at half price. No Generations WFC Cliffy and thunderwing? Gutter.

    Well, "Reveal the Shield" but yeah, I see what you mean. Anyone know when the new RTS stuff will hit these shores? I'm not sure how long we'll see it for before it gets smothered by the next movie line. Any smart high street retailer (I know :lol ) will see this coming and order low numbers of any TF line in the first quarter of 2011 as once the TF3 line opens, it will just swamp everything.

    Basically, if you haven't already ordered from Kapow, or plan on doing so, I'd just buy on sight for the new figures as my guess is they will be few and far between.

    I would buy the "Deluxe" Speedstars (thought they are actually more like Marvel Crossovers size) via Argos when they reduce them - but I'd not want to pay a premium - they'd be something i'd pick up in the next toy drought if the price was rights - but then I also bought all the Cyberslammers and Bumper Battlers & what Gravity bots & RPM Battlechargers I was able to find (which was not all of them unfortunately) so I'm a bit odd like that.

    I can add another Sainsbury's sighting though for Banzaitron, Optimus & Payload. It's curious thought as I've not seen much in the way of Seaspray aside from in Toymasters but I did see a Black Ratchet in a Tesco only one mind - and they didn't have anything else but him..
