    Wave 3 is out in the US in July for sure and I'd imagine the UK will be the same. Hasbro keep announcing dates and then moving them forward with very little notice.

    I've reduced almost all Kingdom stock on gear4geeks.co.uk if anyone is still looking for anything and SS86 Jazz is now £18.99.

    Isn't there a link a page or two back for a decently priced Rodimus imported including tax and shipping it's less than somewhere like smyths charge.

    I’m pretty sure it might be collectiblekingdoms considering he’s like £72.99

    My problem with kingdom is a simple one where i just want to collection screen only guys, this also limits the collection and doesnt beat the wallet up too much,

    But with the direction the shows going we just have no idea whos gunna be in it,

    Earthrise on paper and toys released - compared to what the show actually gave us were really 2 different things,

    I just want some bone dinos to armour up huffer now....
    But if its not in the show....then......!

    Just encase it hasn't been mentioned yet, Amazon has the Earth Sideswipe and BW Skywarp set for £40.62 (it's 48.99 on pulse) and it looks to come out earlier as well

    Given Amazon UK's form with getting their own exclusives in I'd be VERY wary of ordering this from them if it's a must have for you

    I've had a few Black Series exclusives off them which I ticked the gift option for. Fortunately they were boxed and in perfect condition. Maybe I was just lucky!?

    You were lucky on the packing but I believe what Phil is inferring is Amazon UK's past form on listing exclusives, and them just never materialising!
    Granted they do seem to have improved of late but it's not uncharacteristic for them to backslide into bad service.

    Black Series - Star Wars right?

    I couldn't comment on their hit rate their but with TFs they've been woefully poor over the last year or so - see comments upthread

    Yup

    Even worse they've stuck them up as "not in stock" listings rather than preorders and had the money off us!

    Normally I'd agree with you but it seems, this time at least, Amazon has gotten their shit together and listed them properly as pre-orders (not out of stock like the Siege /Earthrise sets) and put them up around the same time they went up on Pulse.
    So I think that Pulse UK opening up has made Amazon buck up their ideas, at least on the transformers front (no sign of that exclusive Classified Roadblock yet).

    Smyths seem to have figures on the clearance/bargain bit in stores that are out of stock on the site, just saw ER Airwave in my one, was hoping for an Allicon. If anyone is able to find a spare Allicon in theirs maybe we could work something out? Will cover all charges plus a bit extra for the trouble!

    Alicon has been gone for months. He's so much in demand that apparently Hasbro are re-running him!

    I thought that, but the reason I even checked Smyths is because someone said they found one in their bargain bin a few weeks ago. Its not impossible, but I wouldn't say no to a re-run (whenever that happens, and if its not an America exclusive!)

    Depends where you are, it seems that a disproportionate amount of the wee henchbots ended up in Northern Ireland and Scotland for some reason?

    Kingdom Ultra Magnus is going for £40 on Amazon. Get it while it's hot!

    Alicon November preorders in the US

    BBTS
    Entertainment Earth

    It would please me if some turned up cheap in Smyths but the stock list isn't hopeful, with the usual caveat that it doesn't show the last one

    Could it be worth a few of us punting a query regarding said toothsome deluxe fellow to Pulse UK maybe?
