    Found RID Legion Ratchet in Caister Tescos. £7.

    On a side-note, Tesco also had some of the smaller Lego sets (Fire ATV and Tire Escape) reduced to three-quid something.

    Old Kent Road TRU.....had none of that. One Stripes was it.

    Clapham Junction Asda similarly barren.

    Yes, plenty. I'm fairly sure there was another case up top too!!

    I did also spot an unopened case of masterpiece bumblebee in toys r us which was just laying around. About the only interesting thing there

    Cool! Smyths MK did have another Sentinel in, hopefully that doesn't mean they restocked Galvatrons then sold out straight away. Will continue the hunt...

    Asked Smyths on Twitter if MK has TR Voyagers back in. Their reply:

    "@rlmiddleton Not yet but they're due back soon! Most before the 12/08 and the rest before the 18th! Keep an eye on our site for updates :) "

    If you go there save oa Galvatron for me for Pete's sake! Lol

    ASDA Pentwyn is still a bit of a mess, but they appear to be having some sort of sale in places.

    TF-wise, they finally have some TR stock - Legends for £12.97 (at that price, no thanks) with lots of Rewind, Wheelie and the lion thing, and there's still a space and label for Titan Masters - presumably the small things, not the deluxes.

    Other than that, a few reduced Rescue Bots and RID warriors for a tenner, and lots of minicons.

    True to their website stock listings, Smyths Leeds (Crown Point) had plenty of PMOPs & Blasters, Galvys & Sentinels, 3 or 4 Skullsmashers, a single Scourge, not a single Hardhead and *ZERO* Blurrs, well, after some unconscionable bar steward bought the last cerulean speedster...

    Kapow have preorders up for the Platinum Autobot Heroes set. They look pretty swish and shiny but there's no way I can be bothered replacing the ones I already have. That said, if anyone IS thinking about doing this and wants to sell on their old Generations Arcee, I'd be super-interested in buying.

    Thurmaston Asda has TR legends in (but sadly no Titan Masters). I'm afraid I got the last Wheelie but there's still a couple of Rewinds (and Stripes, obv). There were also a couple of leftover Chop Shops and Pipeses.

    Leicester TRU also had the TR legends in, but with a word of warning. Someone had swapped a Warpath for a Wheelie (maybe to try and get Wheelie cheaper?). I found the Wheelie unceremoniously stuffed into the Warpath packaging so there technically is still one there, but I felt pretty relieved I'd already picked up mine from Asda on the way down.

    No Titan Masters anywhere. I'm getting a little perturbed by their absence.

    Noticed that Tesco are finally properly offloading their AoE Contructbots (the ones with the dinosaur partners that become armour) from £15 down to £6.25. Might be worth a look now if you're still into those.

    Tesco also have a bit of a sale on Lego at the moment, including Star Wars, which I rarely ever see discounted, at least not usually by any worthwhile amount. But some of these are £4 - £5 off.

    Smyths Newport has had a refresh of stock (as Master Disaster spotted them getting the boxes ready last night) - TR deluxes in very healthy supply - 3 Hardheads (now 2), several Blurrs and Scourges, and one or two Skullsmashers. A few leaders (saw PMOP but didn't check for Blaster, and at least one Galvatron).

    My attention was swayed by the Hardhead to be honest.

    TRU Cribbs Causeway has three cases of TR leaders and one case of MP Bumblebee plus plenty of the wave 1 Legends. Non TF wise they have a few DC Collectibles box sets including Arrow two pack for £30 and the Dark Knight Returns four pack for £40. Also had unopened cases of both Arkham Asylum and Origins four packs near the front of the store.

    Nothing into Asda.

    Smyths have TR deluxes, voyagers (one each) and leaders.
