    Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks and double bollocks.
    I've been in there about 5 times in the past two weeks looking for the Fallen and not seen him. I thought about going in tonight but decided to skip it.

    None of those in Notts TRU when I popped in Saturday.
    The Entertainer in the Victoria Centre had at least a two Chromia on Sat.
    Skids may have been amongst the Deluxes but I didn't notice him. (Didn't check 'em all though.)

    As much as I'd like to grab a Animated Wreckgar, lack of funds prevent it.

    Bummer

    I had a long list of people wanting it but had to clear out my inbox and managed to delete all the possibles.

    Was going to put my complete MISB animated collection (non duplicates) on eBay for about £400 which seems pretty reasonable.

    Well Dinobot didn't make it to Europe at all, so you'll have to try and find him online. The oither three should show up soon, but if tou have a toysrus near you, that is your best bet.

    Just checked my local ASDA for anything interesting but it looks like they are just trying to clear out their overstock of movie 'bee and soundwave, the movie voyager jets (skywarp and other one) and a load of Animated Bumper battler Jazz and Bulkhead.....

    I'm getting plastic crack withdrawal.

    major haul today and what an adventure. Went Nottingham Toys R Us and couldn't find sod all. They had all of Wave 1 Scouts, Deluxes, Voyagers and the 2 leaders. so decided to go into Nottingham. Forbidden planet only had Cannon Bumblebee which was worth mentioning but the entertainer had quite a few Chromias and 1 wheelie from what I could see. managed to bag chromia but am still annoyed that I can't find either of the Twins anywhere.

    Anyway I moved onto derby Toys R Us and managed to find a Voyager Fallen, there was 2 on the shelf so there was still 1 left when I decided to go. Also managed to buy a GI Joe Snake eyes and Scout Knockout.

    All in all a long, at times frustrating but ultimatly successful hunt!

    Interesting news from Hasbro UK , Wave 2 ROTF has been bumped until after Wave 3 - a few cases have been sent out but no more apparently until after Wave 3 - I see the hasbro marketing goodness rolls on once again doh!

    Let's just reiterate that: Wave 2 has been delayed til after Wave 3.

    That's some mighty fine work, Hasbro UK. I'm bloody glad I got my stuff from John Lewis while the going was good.

    haha, morons.
    Still i'm slightly happy about it, i have no money to spend atm so the fact i wont find skids anywhere is good. I guess wave 3 pretty much imminent for a wide release then? Or are we going to have to wait for that now too?

    Its massively gimped!

    I made the mistake of ordering our Wave 2 from the UK as I thought it was pointless going abroad when it was nearly here, oh how wrong was I , so far we've had Wave 3 and 4 in with Wave 5 due early august and still no sign of Wave 2 deluxe from Hasbro UK.

    I'm sure there is some massive masterplan we're just not getting lol.

    BTW Shameless plug EZ Devastator is up for PRE-ORDER and will be here end of next week. awesomeness!

    The Twins are really, really nice toys. The only thing killing them is those damn heads!
