That may depend on how the rumoured SS86 Core Class Rumble does sales wise, I do hope so because we are past due on decent modern tape versions of Steeljaw & Ramhorn but that they never did TR Eject (and I had to make my own) makes me cautious.

 

The Ark is 99.99 on Smyths, don’t know if that’s a new deal

 

Also available for that price on Amazon, along with some other deals – as highlighted by ClassicToysUK on Twitter:

I am thinking Hasbro Pulse might have another 10% "in stock sale" soon - but I don't think much of that I want is going to be in stock until after such a sale - unfortunately.

 

Smyths have dropped the price of Nemesis Prime down further to £40. And here I paid £50 for him last month like an idiot.  

 

Had an invoice from ID Toys for Black Zarak. Its due around the 22nd December, so may arrive with some who choose expidited delivery before Christmas. This is going to annoy US Hasbro Pulse customers who all had a delay notice until March 2022.

 

Forbidden Planet Newcastle had the siege rainmakers. Nice to see them on the shelves in the UK finally.

 

Treated myself to a £58 SkyLynx in Game. Dunno if that's a decent price or not. Regardless, it's a great set. Got some surprising heft to it. Felt worth the price.
Also had Ultra Magnus, Optimus, Inferno, Cyclonus, and a few others I couldn't get to to see because the place was heaving.

Also found one of those G1 NanoRide things in Asda for £6. I thought these had long gone and I'd missed out. So that was nice.

 

Issues with Sonner Toys continues. They said they wouldn't have stock of SS Sentinel Prime and asked me to look at something else. I said there was nothing right now, so if they were sure they weren't getting stock in to just refund me. That was a month ago, of which since they put Sentinel Prime back on their site so I asked if it was going to be available again and that they could keep the deposit since they hadn't refunded me yet. Their reply was that the pre-order was sold out and that they would refund me in a few days, which is now 2 weeks ago.

All in all, not a great experience and terrible communication.

Also, had an order with Kapow where they advertised Studio Series Crankcase on the website and sent me Crowbar.

 

Took a trip into town this afternoon and called into my local Toymaster (Andover) - usually a veritable desert of Transformers. Not quite a desert today but hardly a vibrant oasis either: some Cyberverse Prowl figures (deluxe size - don't know if they were one steps or 'normal' Transformers) at £14.99, and about a dozen of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee and Spike two pack at an eye-watering £24.99 a go.

Also popped into Asda, where the (boys) toy section now appears to consist of Fortnight figure (in every size you can possibly imagine), Hot Wheels and Lego. Which, is much the same as our local Tesco - except Tesco has added Funko Pops.

 

I’ve ended up just making a PayPal claim now as I’m a year waiting on three things which have never been dispatched, one thing got put into their sale a few weeks back, apparently they “forgot” to put aside the pre ordered stock

 

Hey thank you for the heads up. Had my eye on him for a little while so this was perfectly timed. The transformation is an excellent little 3D puzzle! J

 

Rodimus is now £59.99 at Smyths. I could be tempted at that price.

Transformers Generations: War for Cybertron - Autobot Pipes 14cm Figure | The Entertainer

pipes in stock at the entertainer.

 

Now discontinued!

 

@Ottertron 4 Artfires in FP Manchester as of 40 minutes ago.

 

woof that was quick! Only got the email at 11am to say he was in stock

 

It was gone as soon as the email arrived. I suspect the wrong option was ticked on his entry whatever database is sitting behind the scenes there.

It's been down as discontinued for months though....

 

Yeah, he was never in stock so someone had a bit of a brain-fart with that stock alert.

Thanks for Nowt Entertainer.

 

I've just bunged them an email:

Hello,

Can I get you to have a poke behind the scenes at the website at an issue I'm having?

I put a stock alert on Transformers Generations: War for Cybertron - Autobot Pipes 14cm Figure | The Entertainer on 25th November.

Shortly after the item showed as discontinued, which was a bit odd cos it wasn't out yet

This morning I got a "is now available" email for the item, forwarded below.

Clicking on the link gives a webpage that is still showing as discontinued, but I can see that some of the graphics have changed to show that it's a new item.

Can you see if you can find out what caused me to get the stock alert for the item if it is discontinued? My suspicion is you do have stock of it but there's a field for discontinued wrongly clicked on your database that's preventing me from ordering it.

Ta!
