FP Bristol have wave 1 POTP deluxes in, multiples of each (£18.99 each) - and a couple of TR Overlords (£54.99).

 

So what should we expect from Toys 'r' Us now, folks? Out with a bang or a whimper?

 

They're going into administration so if they don't find a buyer, they'll head into liquidation, stock will be sold off increasingly cheaply, stores will close, and that'll be it.

 

So I guess we keep an eye on them for any sale stock (hopefully there's stuff that's been gathering dust in warehouses and such)?

And yes, that does sound mercenary :/ Having grown up with them, I'll miss Toys 'r' Us, but I'm trying to find an upside here.

 

Just going from experience in my former career dealing with insolvency....

I imagine you might see a few strange offers but mostly it'll be existing and fairly new stock reduced by 10% each week once things wind down (or 'wind up' if you know your insolvency lingo).

It's very sad but seems to be the way with a lot of places that haven't modernised or responded to the times. Probably some aspect of poor internal management too.

 

This kind of helps clear it up.

 

The large b&m in Widnes have 1 legends bumblebee 2 kickbacks and 1 combiner galvatronus plus the usual suxssixsh and skys shadows. The shelf tag for movie leaders has been removed.

 

Bridgwater B&M finally had the TR Deluxes in yesterday. No legends as yet, One Sky Shadow & quite a few of the RID combiners. The movie leaders had all gone.

 

Found a lone Dragonstorm in B&M Dumbarton so bought him

Still some TR Gnaws, TR SixShots and a TR Kup. Plenty of TLK Legion and Leader Primes.

 

yes found Swoop and Slug in Smyths Watford.

 

Which TR DELUXES did they get??

 

Wave 4. Perceptor, Topspin, Kup, Quake, & Krok. A couple of each.

 

Damn, need to get on the hunt then, I really want me a Quake at least. What are they priced at?

 

Should be £5.99. The ones at my local have been and gone.

 

Yeah £5.99. I'd all but given up on them appearing here after reading that they, along with their shelf labels had been and gone elsewhere. Just waiting for the Legends now!

 

From the front page: Studio Series Deluxe wave 1 found at Midco Toy Planet in Burton. Packaging is EU stock.
Transformers Movie Studio Series Deluxe Wave 1 arrives at UK retail - Transformers News - TFW2005

 

Studio Series listed at Smyths:
Deluxe Class Bumblebee
Deluxe Class Autobot Ratchet
Deluxe Class Decepticon Stinger
Deluxe Class Crowbar
Voyager Class Starscream
Voyager Class Optimus Prime

 

That's better than the £24.99 Toy Planet are charging! Fingers crossed!

 

I nipped into Golden Square’s Entertainer yesterday, no POTP. They did have a bunch of Sky Shadows for £27, and the TLK Leader Megatron for £32, which was slightly tempting. Really surprised no one’s had the POTP Leaders in yet, didn’t expect Smyths to get the Studio Series before them.

 

TRU has had them.
