    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

    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.

    Their pathetic collection of Transformers for sale can be seen here. They've got a lot of work to catch up to Smyths. :redface2:

    Hello if it was you I got talking to about Black Zarak in Swindon's Sports Direct/Game.

    Could see a £45 Creatures Collide. No Motormaster. Some Legacy on the shelves but couldn't get close enough to it in the wheelchair to see what

    Hey guys, just letting you know Smythstoys got another round of sales at the moment.

    Not sure which ones are new like Legacy Knock Out is now £13 and SS Sideway is also now £15 but I did notice that Blaster is £15.00! Ok he's 99p cheaper to what GAME had but it look like GAME are out of stock on their online store so if you missed him out on a bargain price, you got another chance now. However this is going to be store to store basis as on Toysmyths, he is out of stock when it come to delivery!

    Speaking of Blaster, did went to my local GAME which again, still got him (but Toysmyths still got two left) however I spotted two Shuttle Galaxy now! I kinda want him as he would go great with my Botroplis set but he's not a "must have" for me so I gonna wait abit.
