    Bournemouth Smyths had so few WFC / Legacy figures in stock, they had almost bare shelves. Are Smyths pulling out of stocking Generations range Transformers? They aren’t stocking Legacy Evolutions on their website or restocking any of the 2022 Legacy range…

    Most likely clearing out stock to make way for the Movie barrage coming

    So they’re going to be stocking RotB stuff instead of Legacy Evolutions?

    I'm pretty sure someone has said the Evolution stuff is in their system. But no doubt ROTB will see the spotlight this year

    Could be that it will just be a part of a big push when RotB product launches as well. Even if Legacy Evo is not RotB, they're both Transformers.

    Home Bargains have some very cheap 6" League of Legends Figures in I notice normal colours and I couldn't find Wu Kong but they were something silly like £2.99 and other clearance outlets have some of the 4" figures too for a similar price or a little more like sometimes £4.

    I notice a 3rd party seller on Amazon had SS Movie Crosshairs for around £15 too (plus postage)

    If anyone see's any Snake Eye Origins Basic Figures in the UK please let me know I didn't notice them until they'd all disappeared an I''d like to know if there is any still around before going to the annoyance of importing them.

    I've heard rumours that they are pulling out. It makes sense considering they had exclusive lines which Pulse then decided to sell then Hasbro lumbered every retailer with stock and sent out the stuff for next to nothing to Game.

    Star Wars and Marvel Legends are also selling really badly. Smyths don't seem to be carrying much in the way of Marvel Legends anymore either.

    Wonder if we'll end up in a MOTU situation where the small retailers don't pick the lines back up.

    This is from Seibertron, CyclonusG1 works in a Smyths store in England. Hopefully this means stock will come into Smyths. Much as I like supporting the online shops, I still like to walk into a store and see the toys on the shelves. I still get a thrill out of that!

    Actually we have seen all of those generations listings (not sure about the classic heroes ones), and it matches with what JTP said a few days ago of listing/product info that's been going up on shops' systems for PO soon: 01/31/2023 Fan First Stream

    Although I'm not sure if this applies to Smyths, do they do preorders?

    Couldn’t find it posted here, but Toydip now have stock of voyager shattered glass Soundwave and Blaster for £20 each. Also, surprisingly, Studio Series the Fallen at £35, interesting that that seems to actually be making its way to the UK now despite being told it wasn’t being made available

    i wonder if they'll get the tarn and leo stock in when smyths & amazon do at the original advertised date.

    i dont usually chop and change my preorders but did sacrifice the couple of quid deposit and grab them from SAF yesterday.
