    Teesside Park Middlesbrough Toys R Us has the data discs, and MP10. I was going to buy a Kup they had there for £8.99, but when I got to the checkout, there was nobody there...so I waited, and like 3 members of staff walked by. Nobody came after waiting for 5 minutes, and a queue had formed behind me. I just chucked the damn thing on the counter and walked out. Horrendous customer service.

    I didn't really want the figure, just was buying it with some spare birthday cash which will now go towards a Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann DVD from ebay instead.

    Edit
    TFP and Gen deluxes are down to £9 too. FOC data discs £13. What happened to the Beast Hunter stuff that was epotted in a warehouse?

    Was that pic not of Sic's stairs with all the BH bits he'd imported?
    Or have I missed something?

    Cheers,

    Uhm, I dunno. I remember a picture of BH stuff in a case, and I thought someone mentioned BH, FOC data discs and MP10 in some warehouse or something...? I think. Which is why I'm asking, I'm champing at the bit for some BH Cyberverse and maybe for BH Voyager Prime.

    Smyth's at The Fort, Glasgow have a full set of Combaticons, which is surprising as they weren't supposed to be stocking them. Not sure if it's a one off but probably worth a look, and they do tend to do money off in Smyth's quite often.

    Other than that, a load of wave 5 Prime Deluxe, but only one voyager (Starscream), no legion and no commanders. Pretty poor show were it not for the Combaticons, to be honest.

    Any one know when the Beast Hunters Cyberverse wave is going to hit us? And will it be available at all the same places?

    Got Cyberverse Fallback from Sainsburys for £2.50 today. It was the Chadwell Heath store and they had about 5 TFP Kups in there for £6.50 as well.

    Lol looks like I confused some people but thought I'd post it here as my house is as good as a store for getting BH from at least at the moment :D 

    I have 3 sets of Wave one for sale (see my sales thread) which is why I put the picture. £100 in person or delivered at cost

    I don't know if this has been reported yet, but i checked a few pages back but My Asda in Tottenham hale has a had a reshuffle of the toy dept and they have put out the new 3 pack of botshots.
    I picked up the Bee, Shockwave and Skyquake 3 pack. Bee and Shockwave is the new jumpshot style while Skyquake is just another green seeker.
    Tbh Bee's head design looks more like a G1 Cliffjumper.

    I was in Greenock yesterday, the Tesco over there (far from their usual stock) has a good amount of commanders. At least 20 of them. Nothing out of the ordinary, however, apart from them having at least 5 skyquakes. Could have used that stock a few months ago when I was struggling to find him. They had a few Voyager Megatrons as well, but only offers on the Commanders so didn't pick anything up.
