    Try the Liverpool One TRU instead. They did have Protectobots, but no Hot Spot. The Entertainer had RID Drift and Sideswipe.

    Picked up Leader Jetfire in Reading B&M. 2 left after I got mine.

    Still no CW Hot Spot in Reading TRU. Not much of anything really.

    Yeah, lots of people. Toys R Us have had both the G1 and Armada versions in, and I think Smyths have as well.

    CW Leader Megatron at Smyths?

    I think you're the first to report that.. Was under the impression they're TRU exclusive.

    Cardiff

    Asda at Cardiff Gate FINALLY has CW Wave 3 Protectobot limbs - one Streetwise on the shelf but then on the top overstock shelf, they had Rook, First Aid and Blades. £14.97 if you can't find them for £11.99 at Smyths.

    Also, I was in Barcelona on Saturday and a regular toy shop in the Commercial District had plenty of CW Wave 3, as well as tons of other toys and merch that you'd only find in specialist comic shops here. They must have good suppliers!

    No, I'm probably mistaken. I've just gone back through the thread and I don't think anyone has reported either of the Megs at Smyths. They've definitely been sighted at Toys R Us though, multiple times, including by me.

    Nott'm TRU had a wall of CW Megs last week.

    Gen Jetfire at B&M is great news. Hucknall B&M will no doubt give him a miss.

    No real news from Lincoln/Grantham/Newark areas as I've been dealing with a lot of "real world" stuff.

    Just to double check, this Leader Jetfire people are seeing, it's Hasbro's version of Legends Jetfire, yes?

    P.S: Not TF related, but wondered if anyone still has those Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures in their HB's? Scalp-Or got almost all the ones in Grantham/Newark and I'm short three!

    I think it was just the TASM2 wave.

    Yup, the one with shiny chrome!

    See http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...gdom-transformers-sightings-post12742878.html for an on the shelf picture.

    The leaders ship in cases of two: both the toys in Jetfire's case are Jetfire so that's why people are finding them in multiples of two and why there's no other toys to be had with him.

    I honestly don't know what wave it is as I don't generally collect ML figures, just I saw Black Cat and wanted her. Then I saw a couple of others so I got them, so I've got a torso and both legs for Green Goblin but no arms or head! Frustrating!

    Yeah, thought so, but thanks for the confirmation. I got him from Jungle a couple of months ago so don't need the Hasbro version. Great find though!

    As others have said, I'd love to see some of those Deluxe figures turn up as there's a fair few I've been unable to get the Takara versions of. Fingers crossed!

    Edit: I wondered what you meant by shiny chrome as mine doesn't have any chrome. So I looked up the comparisons and... oh dear! When you said chrome I thought you meant chrome, not shiny red! That's... unfortunate. Glad I got the Takara version, not only was it comparably cheaper (even with P&P) I don't need to de-chrome it!

    They are STILL in the Old Kent Road TRU which is some kind of small miracle.

    Plus for the guy asking about the ML Spidey wave they have been in multiple TRUs for many months. First end cap as you pass through the reception of most TRUs has the Spidey section. Full price though.

    Lots of Rodimus, Skywarp, Groove and Warpath at Liverpool One TRU.
    If anyone happens to go down to get a Groove, can you please save me one, don't get paid till Thursday and I already spent last of my money on a Rodimus :p 

    (Not a sighting but does anyone like my idea of having the white optimus prime with the limbs of skywarp and calling the white optimus prime Ultra Magnus and having it as a lost light combiner, featuring wheeljack and the rodimus for a chest piece?)

    Picked up a Leader Jetfire from Amesbury B&M - quite nice, not sure I'd have wanted to pay £50 for one though....

    There are 2 left, and a lonely Brainstorm.

    Still nothing new in TRU Gateshead. Forgot to check B&M next to it for Jetfires/Brainstorms, can anyone confirm please?

    Leader Megatrons (Armada definitely) were still in TRU Brent X when I went in last week.
