    well this current Generations line seems a long one, wouldn't be surprised if it went into next year.

    With TF4 figures, new Generations figures and figures to go with the new show next year, 2014 is gonna be very interesting.

    I think they did say yes at some point. But there again didn't Thundercracker also have a vague yes, maybe, we'll look into it, actually no... Honestly not that bothered with Soundwave anyway, will be a little miffed if Acid Storm doesn't make an appearance though.

    I think you might be right there, seems to going the same way as MP10 was handled. Which reminds me....


    There were three MP10's left at TRU Cribbs Causeway as of last friday (12/7) (which I forgot to mention in my previous sighting post).

    Anyone know if the Predacon Rising voyagers have been sighted near Bristol at all? If not I might go hunt for them Friday.

    Also my local comic shop, Automattic Comics (Corsham) has FOC Ultra Magnus, Starscream, Sideswipe and Optimus at £15 each

    Hi guys

    So im in Oxford, and I checked out a couple of Tesco stores this evening. The Tesco extra in Abingdon had the Predacon Rising commander double pack with Prime and Predaking repaints. Tragically I dont need either of those guys... I want me Sky Lynx!! But this is great news, if the store has some PR stock in, im sure it wont be long until the full line follows. Am I right in thinking this is the second sighting after West Brom?

    nice to see they are slowly getting to other store I was starting to think it was an error and a few got out early. I'm not say Hasbro have a street date for the later repaints but I know stores have strict rules on how much of X they should give space to.

    Sorry for the intrusion and the weird post, guys, but I think you can help me out.
    I am from Italy, but I always buy transformers/toys from UK through eBay or Kapow.

    I am kinda confused with the Beast Hunters waves situation, tho. I am looking for deluxe Smokescreen and voyager Shockwave; the latter's wave is still not available in UK as far as I know, but what did exactly happen with Smokescreen's wave? It's incredibly scarce on eBay and the few UK users selling it ask for crazy shipping fee (20£ for a single deluxe when Kapow or other stores ship voyagers AND deluxes together for just 8£ or so).

    It looks like Smoke's wave is still not available, but from what I have read here, it should. What's the deal with it?

    That being said, I am afraid I will not be able to pick one up if it has been released and it's just rare. Any thoughts?

    We have smokescreens wave of deluxes, Toys R us actually skipped the first wave of deluxes and just gave us smokescreens wave straight away, so yes we do have smokescreen but we dont have shockwave yet

    The Entertainer in Cheltenham has a very lacklustre window display for Beast Hunters (an entire window filled with about six products. It looks quite pathetic really) and yet I couldn't see any inside (though I may have missed them on an end-cap display possibly). Just a load of PRID deluxes and Voyagers on clearance.

    Okay, so it's just scarce at the moment.
    Anyone so kind to recommend some good store which ships outside UK?
