    Wow, amazing prices on a couple I already got but none in stock for miles and miles from me anyway. Some of these aren't in stock anywhere in fact.
    Can't feel too bad about that If I could never get them lol
    I guess all of these are about to be removed from the site completely.

    Smyths really needs more search options, "recently added" for the main search and an ability to filter out stores that don't have stock or prioritise ones that do.

    Smyths previous website did have a "newly added" filter option. No idea why they ditched it.

    How about the newly ressurected Toy's R Us?

    Like typing Transformers into the search does give you a Transformers banner but the actual results shows no transformers at all but other toys instead!

    Yeah I used to go and ask to see what they had. Always felt like an idiot when they brought down everything and I already had them all

    My local smyths (slough had):

    3 x Tarantulas £12
    Buzzsaw (BW) £10
    2 x Knockout (prime) £12

    Plus these two shelves - clearly moving back to the main boys aisle after moving to the rear before xmas.

    Too many Elita-1s to count, no dead ends im afraid. Overheard the staff talking about stock control and how half the shelves were empty - not transformers specific.

    Blaster £15.99
    J Park set

    Cyberverse bits

    TK Maxx Burnham had Mutant Tigatron £20

    Typical for time of year. UK has always been a post Christmas toy wasteland and it's only after London Toyfair - which is this week - that things start to get going.

    It's worth checking the price on this as my mum picked one up last week for £10.
