    Looking forward to sightings of CW wave 4. I feel compelled to pick them up, but feel I need to have them in hand first to decide if it's absolutely necessary. I refuse to pay more than 11.99 each though.

    No-one else has any Brainstorm's because they're all at Lincoln! :lol  I was back there on Friday and there were dozens of them! A couple of Roadbusters and some Whirl's were also present, but nothing else. Also saw those dress up things someone mentioned (Gingerchris, payes?), but wasn't interested (no kids and I'm just a little to fat for them! ;)  ) so didn't look further. Also some Jetfires, Titan Heroes and a few Battle Attackers.

    TRU had another restock, this time of Thrilling 30 figures. Looked all through hoping for a Soundblaster, but it was all Steller-Byte's (just to counter the "Shit-Byte" comment I keep seeing :mad  ) and... urm... scrud, I've forgotten! Oh, yeah, Roadbusters! :lol 

    Used my voucher on a Legends Skywarp and two NuRiD Mincons (Dragonus and Sawback). Gingerchris, they were £4.49, not £4.99 as I stated, I must have misread the price the last time I was there.

    They also had a couple of Hot Spots, half a dozen Armada Megatron's (I'll get one when they're £20!) and some of the new NuRiD stuff; those Legion 2-packs and some differently coloured one-steps I think. I wasn't paying attention as I'm waiting for all the NuRid stuff to go on sale! Or turn up at B&M/HB as they're bound to do!

    Asda Living had a "sale" on. I say "sale" as the discounts were barely noticeable! I did see mukcy yellew Grimlock again. He looks soooo good in the card-back picture, why did Hasbro ruin him?! I just can't get past that nasty yellow, so I left him... for now! If he goes down I'll likely get him and re-paint him, but not at £11! (At least, I think he was £11. as Asda didn't seem to want to price anything. Something on that stand was £11!). They had the big 3-steps of Optimus and Bumblebee at £17.99 too, but I'm not crazy about them either, so left them. Will use the money saved for the upcoming hefty TT releases.

    Oh and I got an awesome Ghostbusters T-Shirt from upstairs! I almost walked past it, good job my Mum spotted it! Shame it wasn't out last year, but there you go. Now I need a BTTF one next year to celebrate the anniversay this year! ;) 

    Unrelated to TF, but interesting for the Bronies amongst you Morrisons had MLP POP figures for £1.88... after buying Dr. Hooves for £2.97 in Asda! Typical!

    Curiously enough I have yet to see any Voyagers in either of my closest B&M stores (Retford and Worksop) but Doncaster did have brainstorm a couple of weeks ago. my Wilkos also has a £13 Whirl, if i didn't have one I would have bought it.

    Really want to find a cheap Skybyte.

    Or like Wave 3 and start spotting them in Asda first. Asda seems to be getting rid of Combiner War quiet quickly while NU-RID shelf warms

    Clacton b&m only had three whirls. Wonder if a double dealer restock is on the cards?

    Took a snoop in Great Yarmouth TK Maxx. Not much, but they did have a TF Angry Birds set different to the B&M ones. It was the Bumblebee attack set with the large Megatron (Galvatron?) figure for £9.99. So have to keep an eye out there in case they ever get the actual converting ones in.
    They also had CW First Aid for £12.99, an AoE Optimus helmet, the big Aoe Bumblebee play fists, the RC Bumblebee car and some of those AoE Dino Sparkers (£7.99 - like anyone would pay that). Also the Kre-O Devastator set for £24.99 (still a fiver cheaper at B&M though of course).

    In GY Sainsburys they had the repaints of RID One-Step Grimlock and Strongarm. Also the Three-Step Steeljaw, which actually looked rather cool. Just not at that price.

    I'm forever seeing Skybyte but I can't find Blitzwing at all unless it's about £23 in The Entertainer :(

    Was someone after Gen TC in this thread?

    If so, he is £25.63 shipped from amazon.com at the moment. His price keeps on dropping recently.

    Yep, got mine for 22.29. Take that, Forbidden Planet ! Feel that I've now got my own back after having paid full price for Jetfire only to have him show up reduced at B&M a week later.

    Checked B&M Bedminster and Brislington again this weekend for DoubleDealer. Still a no show. Just the usual.
