    Sorry, I don't follow? Does this mean we're not getting Starscream? or any of the others?

    At retail, there is rumours that tru are getting them in autumn. Best to order from kapow toys or toy spin to avoid disappointment

    Last day to get a fiver off a Tesco Direct TF spend of £15 (Ends on Wednesday). Just use this code TDX-K7FG


    Doesn't work for the Entertainer stock unfortunately.

    Shot in the dark! Can anyone hook me up with a voyager sky quake? Checked my local home bargains and no joy.

    They do still have starscream, thundertron, prime, bulk, and megs

    (Somewhat belated) thanks for posting that - my Ripclaw, Twinstrike, and Predaking are making me feel like Danaerys! Well, kinda. :) 

    Anyway it was v. nice to be able to get them all delivered for such a low sum (wouldn't have got Predaking otherwise; not a patch on Ripclaw but at deluxe price he's okay)....so your post was much appreciated here, in the cold wastes of South London! :)

    I found BH deluxes and whatever they're calling the larger Legends-type things now (9 quid for the latter, WTF?) at a Tesco just now, if that's of any interest to anyone TrU-less.

    Edit: I see this isn't news. Ah well.

    After reading this I immediately went out to all the Sainsburys in my area (Portsmouth) and found nada apart from a handful of botshots and Prime cyberverse figures. Though one did have a stock of the Rescue Bots including Boulder and Heatwave.

    On another note, does any one know when the next wave of kreo microchangers are being released here?

    Tesco Lea Valley has TFP:BH Voyagers, Commanders and Legions in... no deluxes because they are still swimming in TFP WV5 deluxes.

    Literally. If I had a room I would fill it with them, and their unopened WV5 cases and swim in them like Scrooge McDuck in his vault of money.

    fairly sure i've seen FOC wave 3 @ FP - they even had voyager Soundwave and possibly even Blaster... were a bit pricey (£16.99 for deluxe), so may be imports?

    Hmm, that depends. If the cards were American, definitely imports. If they were European multilingual with a billion languages and one sentence bios... that might indicate incoming UK stock.

    I got FOC wave 3 stock from a UK supplier, so they're out there. Check your local comic/hobby shops.

    Finally in Asda Stevenage - Kreo Microchanger Combiners! They're also in a different packaging variant, as there is a big Beast Hunters logo on the back of the box!

    Local tesco has finally gotten beast hunters stock in. They have out the voyagers, cyberverse and legions but the deluxes are still top-stocked as they didn't know they are different or bother to put them out.

    I highly doubt we'll get Fall of Cybertron in Autumn they are allegedly available at Toys R Us but I haven't been to my local one in years so I can't say much on that one

    Also Boots had the small Kreo Bumblebee at £9 seriously? If I want to pay for a construction set I'd pay that money for a bigger Lego set at the same price.

    Tis' a shame though I'd like to buy few of the Kreo sets and take the Heads and Kreons and sell the Vehicles at a Bootsale or something and charge less for obvious reasons
