...Essex...trekking....across the mankiverse....
from my movements this weekend, Colchester Entertainer have just the oldies masters, no Rung or Singe, HB Colchester had a few of the Tiny TF things as above, and Clacton HB have a few left too, I avoided the car shapes there and managed to snag a gold.....well...yellow...Grimlock.
B+M Clacton have a box of the later wave, I found the code a third of the way down the back and took all unique ones bar the ones I couldn't read (so got 2 knights), and left the rest.
The boots were ickle but I picked up a few casualties, big disappointment was the orange rid one-step (split-open) Drift, didn't know they did that one but he was minus one wheel and an arm.

Laters from the cheap seats.

 

Anyone know when kapow are meant to be getting ss skipjack in?

 

Indemand Toys have import stock of BTTF Gigawatt, Netflix Bumblebee and Gen Selects Bugbite.

New Arrivals

 

Entertainer Warrington still hasn’t got more Rung and Singe, but they DID have Aimless and Pteroaxadon, who I picked up. They appear to be from Hasbro Canada, but imported from Spain? Also a single Lionizer and the Bumblebee movie Cliffjumper.

 

Pic of the import labels on Aimless, who's w2, and Pteraxodon, who was in w2 & w4, please?

 

I was wondering did they place them in the normal toy isles or hide them up somewhere - I can't say as I've noticed Blind bags in general in B&M - so I thought i'd ask.

Thanks

P.S. Anyone give a shout out if they see the Miraculous Ladybug toys have been released will you - Smyths supposedly go some recently - I'm also interested in the plush ones too.?

 

I did see them this Saturday at Smyths. they were big ones, like 8" figures I think

 

@payres this good for you? Pteraxadon, from the Oldham branch of The Entertainer.

 

phew, I threw my boxes away, cheers for that

 

Useful, ta, that matches the one on Singe and Rung!

But if anyone sees Aimless again, I could do with a picture of his: Pteraxodon ships with EITHER Aimess & Lioniser, in w2, or Rung & Singe, in w4. So Oldham's could have been from either case. Aimless though is unique to the w2 case! Lioniser was also in w1, so he won't definitively tell us anything, while Aimless will tell us who brought w2 in. Those with long memories will recall w2 Siege Battlemasters got shorted/not supplied by Hasbro UK so Aimless could be genuine UK stock!

Once again I apologize for my personal obsession with the vagaries of grey imports

 

I didn't pick any up, but Manchester Arndale branch had Lionizer and Pteraxadon.

 

I can confirm from my surprisingly decent for once memory that Aimless had the same sticker with Madrid on it.

 

One last sighting for today, Forbidden Planet Manchester had Selects Exhaust in store, though at a slightly pricey £27.

 

Cheers, got Bugbite but missed Bumblebee. Hopefully Smyths gets him in soon.

 

So does that mean Bugbite got skipped for UK release & he's just an import item - or is he going to show up a bit more lke greasepit and Hubcap have conventionally ?

 

As mentioned on the RFC Podcast, Doublecrosser is avavilable on Amazon.com and can be shipped to the UK. It's listed under the former name of Crossguard if you try and search for it:
Doublecrosser

 

He should turn up, we haven't heard otherwise.

IDToys shifted their Bug Bites quite quick so I imagine they just took the opportunity to grab some more on import

 

Been in the newly opened Harlow Smyths today, had the same loadout as most Smyths at the moment except Allicon. Picked up an Arcee which was conveniently placed on an unreachable shelf!

 

I think the pre-orders that popped up are for the "domestic" releases. Which will get a wider release.

 

I got mine that way.
