    Hopefully that means we might see more Generations stock there in future! Or that TRU couldn't shift enough of them and just looked for anywhere to sell them on ;)

    Nott'm TRU had a couple of FOC Kickbacks in stock. It was the first time I'd spotted him in there.

    They also had 2x YOTH MP Prime's, 3x Metroplex, 1x MP Acid Storm and 1x BH Prowl

    Also spotted them in my home town. It would be nice if others showed up but I am guessing it's just TRU getting shot of some serious over stock on these guys

    Hope the Generations Voyagers appear soon and the next wave of deluxes, sick of ordering them online! The FOC wreckers also need to get here pronto as does the other 2 FOC Voyagers -.-

    Anyone know if MP Soundwave will be restocked? Or am i wishfully thinking here?

    I ain't seen sight nor sound(wave) of him since he first appeared. I think it's looking v unlikely. Wish I hasn't of hesitated when I did :/

    Sightings wise I spotted the Construct-a-bot leader Megs and OP twin pack in sainsburys at half price. £17.50 thereabouts if your that way incline. Not interested myself but others may.

    Thinking of visiting Bull's Bridge TRU?

    Want anything other than the tiny Generations Bumblebee with helicopter minicon, the FoC Starscream deluxe, or some hideous TFP junk?

    Then don't bother!

    Unfortunately, when I was trying to track one down for my son just before Christmas, I was told by a toys r us employee that they were no longer a stock item (ie no longer being carried) and they only had what stock was left on shelves. Luckily enough, I tried another branch and they had one left (he wasn't getting my one.... Son or not!!!!).

    But then again, this is TRU and anything can happen... Year of the horse anyone ;)

    Tesco have decided to raise the price of voyagers from £22 to £24.

    Beggers belief really.

    Spotted these in B&M Northampton as well, picked up Ravage and Rumble. Also spotted the same set in TK Maxx Bedford for £4.99, if anybody wants to go for broke.

    Warrington Toys R Us had, well, pretty much the same things they've had for a while. A single Acid Storm. A single Year of the Horse Prime (seriously, still no sign of Beast Hunters Shockwave, and yet we get THAT?), some Metroplexes, a bucket load of FoC Soundwaves and Grimlocks, the usual TFPrime stuff, FOC Magnus and Air Raid, Orion Pax and Trailbreaker, and the small Generations Prime and Bumblebee with minicons. Possibly more, but nothing that stuck in my mind.

    I should probably be grateful after Christmas. Still, I'd love to see Generations Springer turn up. Not for me (I've already got it), but because it's a great toy that everyone should have.

    I'm increasingly convinced we won't get Springer. I think the next new Generations stuff we'll see is either the Skids or Scoop wave of deluxes, the Whirl wave of voyagers and if we're lucky Cosmos and Swerve's wave of basics.

    Cosmos is one I really want to get. I should get a G1 Cosmos too for completeness sometime I guess :)

    It took ages for wave 3 FOC to get here as with the voyagers, they will come, but they will probably run them figures with the movie figures, or wait till Beast Hunters has ended (the latter being the most likely)
