    Is that the Black Bumblebees?

    Is the DOTM orange Track Battle Roadbuster actually in any UK stores?

    Sainsbury's, Ladbroke Grove:
    TFP deluxes - 3xBB, 1x Wheeljack, 1x Cliffjumper - unclear what the price was.
    Looked a pretty full range of Cyberverse - certainly the Megatron, OP, BH and SS commanders. Looked quite natty but not £6.49 of natty. Definitely had Ratchet, Cliffjumper and Arcee legends.

    Handful of bot shots and one last DOTM deluxe (Lazerbeak) on a battered card. Was looking for the Cowdenbeath away kit Sideswipe. "Is this Generation 2 Sidearm Sideswipe?" asked Mrs IronicHide, holding Lazerbeak. "No," I replied shaking my head and staring at the floor in hope that nobody would recognise us. What a n00b.

    I am not 100% sure, but I think that HA figures are ex-catalogue. This means that they are allocated individually to stores (basically, whatever they have left and they won't be restocked) but are not necessarily at any store and do not appear in the dead-tree version of the catalogue. The best thing is to actually go to your Argos and do a search on their stock-pad calculator things.

    Don't you just hate it, when you realise that all this time, people who you think know what you're talking about regarding TFs actually have... no idea. Shocking.
    My asda in Bury St Edmunds had a Kreo Ratchet for £7.99 as opposed to 17.99, but still no RIDP.

    Still only Cyberverse Legion in TRU. Seems weird these are the only Prime figures they have. USA are already starting to get wave 2 and we havent even had widespread release of wave 1 yet! Haven't seen Cyberverse Commanders anywhere near me yet. Sainsburys were restocking toys on Friday so hopefully they might have some in when I check tomorrow.

    Managed to find a Revealers Cliffjumper at Argos on ventura Park in tamworth, they had 4 revealers in stock and when i did a customer view they only bought out Bumblebee and Cliffjumper so theres a chance theres another Cliffjumper still there but i imagine it will be 3 Bumblebees.

    Sainsburys in tamworth now has single Bot Shots and Prime Cyberverse Legion looked like most of the wave didnt check thou as i have one of all of em, the shelf tag said 3.96 i think it was for the legions but it had dark of the moon legion written on it so cud of been the wrong price? hopefully tamworth will get a decent influx of prime now

    The Entertainer at Bluewater in Kent has one HA Roadbuster and two black Bumblebees, lots of discounted stealth force, cyberverse arks for £20 and not much else of note.

    the windows do look worse the more I look at them. haha.
    might give them a lick of black paint for the ultra stealth look.

    These are the codes for Bumblebee and Skids:

    Skids: 388/3482(D) P/O 189535
    Bumblebee: 388/3482(D) P/O 189529

    not sure if the (D)'s means there discontinued stock or not?

    No Primes whatsoever in Sainsbury's Enfield. Mind you, there were hardly any DOTM so presume a restock is coming.

    I've never heard of Trackbattle Roadbuster being sold in the UK outside of a comic or Collectables store.

    If it has shown up then that could be a UK first.

    Hi All!

    It's been an absolute age since I've posted on here! I still regularly check the site but rarely post anything.

    Not sure what's been reported in the Aberdeen area lately but I'll say what I've seen.

    Apart from Argos the only place I've seen TF Prime toys has been Sainsbury's. I haven't seen anything Prime in any of my local Asda's (4 in Aberdeen) and apart from the initial wave I haven't seen any new stocks of Prime in any of the Argos' in my area either.

    Aberdeen Forbidden Planet haven't had any new TF's although it's been over a week since I've been in there.

    That's about it for Aberdeen sightings lately!

    The two Sainsbury's seem to have had their assortments split between them.
    The Berryden store has Prime Deluxes but no Voyagers whereas the Garthdee store has Voyagers but no Deluxes.
    Was in Berryden on Wednesday and Friday. Saw Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Cliffjumper on Wednesday but by Friday only Bumblebee was left. Didn't see Soundwave at all. They had a good selection of Cyberverse Prime both times.
    Garthdee had Voyager Optimus and Megatron and also a reasonable selection or Cyberverse on Friday. All were at the 25% off sale.

    Asda Garthdee had a nice selection of Rescue Bots in a different part of the toy aisle to the other TF's. No sign of anything Prime.
    I've seen Bot Shots in a few Asda's and been tempted but resisted so far.
    They also finally got some Thundercats in about 3 weeks ago but nothing I hadn't seen elsewhere.

    Toysrus haven't had anything new for ages but they have had Star Wars crossover stuff, however I've not been that interested and haven't really taken note of what they have.
    For Batman fans they did have one Joker figure (Movie Masters) amongst the loads of Two Faces' and Batman's last week but he disappeared quickly.
    They also have a good selection of Thundercats but nothing new lately, just restocks.

    Tesco Danestone haven't had anything new lately but their TF3 stuff is mostly reduced. Thought that Shockwave at £9.99 was quite a good price.
    They also had the Thundercats Thundertank reduced to £24.97.

    That's about it for Aberdeen sightings lately!
