    FP Manchester found a couple more Breakdowns, along with Core class Sludge and Soundblaster (no Slugs on the pegs that I could see).

    Have we heard anything about Velocitron wave 2 in the UK? I know ID got some import stock a few months ago, but I’ve not been able to source anything since then. I *desperately* need a Crasher.

    That’s exactly How I’ve been feeling for a while didn’t we get pictures of a g1 coloured hot rod too like ages ago not a single person even has that yet. But yeah I keep checking hasbro pulse constantly for them to appear.

    Just notice GAME got SS Sweep on their site for £16.99

    Transformers Studio Series 86-10 Voyager: Sweep

    Ok I gonna have to visit the local Sport Direct regulery now to see if they got him cos my place has three Blaster and Thunderhowl on Boxing day. Don't want to pay the delivery fee (£4.99) and can't click and reserved (free).

    Great, I decided to passed up on Legacy Galvatron on ID (£22.99 at the moment) cos of space and storage reasons and I figure I would never find an SS Sweep for a cheap price (on ebay he's over £30 and the lowest one I saw was £24.99 which is not low enough) let alone SS Scourge but if I do buy him then I would have to get Galvatron for groupie reason!

    I think there's two Hot Rods in play here...

    1. The Movie 86 recolour of the G1 Hot Rod toy, which I believe was the one spotted in FP (I have this already from Pulse)
    2. A G1 toy recolour of the SS86 Hot Rod, which I think is being released as part of the Legacy line. I've not seen anything other than the press and packaging shots from (probably) 2 months ago.

    Ah gotcha, the second one must have passed me by, can't recall seeing anything about it.
    Yeah, it was the movie 86 toy I'd seen in store

    Consider some sell them for £17.99 and £19.99 that isn't to bad, such a shame that Elita's head is frozen though.

    I’m surprised Smyths has no traces of Legacy Evolution on their site or online yet. Hopefully they’re still carrying it, and they’re not about to do a ‘Tesco vs. Heinz’ on us - although given how many times they’ve had to discount stuff as of late, I would understand their discontent

    Regarding the Velocitron stuff though, it’s worth noting the deluxes haven’t even been on Pulse yet, so might be delayed or just not offered at all by Hasbro UK.

    They also didn't go up on Walmart's site during their Collector Event despite the (inactive) webpages for their listings being discoverable via internet shenanigans, for some reason they and toy colours Voyager-but-Deluxe Rodders were held back whilst Galaxy Shuttle went up, as he did on Pulse UK at around the same time.

    Hopefully they’re just an oddity. However, with a movie line coming next year, maybe something else has to go?
