    Sainsburys also have the RID warrior Scorponok, the 'throwing a minicon' gimmick looked a bit odd, I suppose he can throw them at my 2 quid boot-buy launcher Drift.

    Sweet Fanny Adams in Nott'm TRU other than a handful of TR deluxe.

    Unless you fancy paying out on the overpriced Platinum box sets (inc Classic OP & Megs box set) you are out of luck.

    They also had 2 MP BBs, £79.99 each. They also still have MP Sunstorm!

    I know it's a bit late, but thought I'd mention that I found wave 6 Tiny Titans in Sleaford Tesco last Wednesday. They had two boxes (one still sealed!) and I got the whole set. Back to the old price of £2.00 each.

    Did anyone find wave 4 of these? They popped up in the aforementioned Tesco for £2.50, which I thought was too much so didn't get them, expecting them to show up in Asda. Asda then got wave 5 in and skipped wave 4 completely! So I now need all of wave 4. :(  If anyone finds them could you let me know?

    Edit: Just been having a look at TrU's website to see if they had Astrotrain in yet (nope) and came across this: Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Computron Collection Pack

    Did we know we were getting Computron here?

    Regarding Computron, if any of you do fancy him be aware that the plastic quality on Scrounge is shite. At least mine was.

    Not sure how relevant Amazon UK news is, but I just noticed all the Deluxe Stunticons and Blackjack are up at around
    £15 each, and Blackjack at £8.99. Worth a look if you still need a set of Stunticons. Closest we'll probably get to an actual retail release, given the availability of Amazon Gift Cards.

    Still no TR stuff in either the Wimbledon or Wandsworth Entertainers but they have helpfully put the price of their CW Wave 4 debris up to £20 just in case anyone wanted a Sunstreaker at that price.

    Form an orderly queue.

    Smyths are having a 20% off in store promotion on everything (apart from video games and electronics) from today through Monday, which is dead handy. Assuming they have anything in stock.

    Scratch that, four. Anyway, went in expecting to get Highbrow or one step changer Ratchet, came away with TR Wirewolf which I hadn't planned on getting but was oddly attracted to.

    Picked up RID Warrior Starscream, and the last Warrior Windblade at Reading TRU. One Starscream left but none of the other new warriors in their waves. Titans Return wave 1 DLX also in stock, and a single Voyager Sentinel Prime. Also there seems to be a price drop on Leaders. Saw TR PM Optimus for £39.99. A lot better than £49.99. Not much else. No Titan Masters. Did see a couple of RID 3-Step Changers Bisk if anyone's looking for him.

    Was about to report the 20% off at Smyths myself! Not much in Smyths Rayleigh Weir though - just TR Wave 1 deluxes and voyagers and a few TR Leaders (wave 1 and wave 2) and the usual RID stuff!

    TRU Cribbs Causeway, no change with TF stock, but with DC they have the huge Arkham City Clayface for £39.99, a New52 2nd Edition Harley Quinn bust, again £39.99 and some 6" Mutiverse Suicide Squad Quinn's for £22.99.

    Only TR Wave 1 into Smyths as it looks like Soundwave is now out of stock (although there might be one left on the top shelf....?)

    Amazing trip to Stanway Tollgate Smyths! Just grabbed a lone Astrotrain with one Alpha Trion on the shelf next to him. Had a massive geek-out with an employee who ran at the chance to talk Transformers with someone. Finally I got to the till and he scanned through at about £19! Result!
