    Anyone get a sniff of any new grey stock in Home Bargains or B & M? It’s all gone a bit dry again

    No Earthrise anything in the Wandsworth Entertainer. First time I've been there since Feb and it was as barren as it was then.

    I think their stock is either made to order for some of the clothing or certainly the tote bags are or it’s ordered in from the states. I say this because I have ordered a fair few items from them and really had an issue but it can take a few days before I even get a shipping notice. I’ve had tf t shirts, hoodies, a tf tote bag and other bits. I can say I’ve ordered figures though. I did use the flash40 code last night and got the siege sideswipe T-shirt for just over a tenner shipped

    Reminds me of ordering from Forbidden Planet online. I've never received anything I ordered online from them.

    I don't get why it has to be such a pain to get Amazon exclusives, it's one of the biggest retailers in the world and has websites for every country, it shouldn't be that hard to make them available to other regions.

    I don't have a link to a UK Listing.

    Although bear in mind a fellow board member has just had the UK Pre-Order he managed before it locked out cancelled.

    Since I'm feeling salty - I will just say that if they are going to remake Siege toys like they have with Jetfire and Omega Supreme they really should piggy back some western sales on the takara release of Siege Skywarp too.

    But failing that since Smyths are not much help in selling something unless they have a preorder ; as they never can keep home delivery stock up.

    Then perhaps their WFCT exclusive deal lapse in a callender year and ALL OF WAVE one could be re-offered to other sources for delivery after 1st jan 2021 ?

    I frankly don't like having partial seeker sets at all.

    Considering IDtoys just put up a punch of images of the Netflix Voyagers hopefully this means Smyths will be putting them up soon.

    No announcements of such as yet AFAIK, you'll have to keep your eye on 'em.

    SS cliffjumper available for delivery from smyths...

    spotted it 5 mins AFTER I'd ordered one from comics and cocktails who have him as well, but as the price was the same more happy to support the little guys ;)
