Genuinely surprised some stores still had stock for this to even come down on price changes. My store has been out of stock for close to two months.

The one I visited had 4 instock, I was kind of tempted but sticking to original toy and the TR version

Just stopped by Smyths in Derby and they had the legacy evolution stuff on the shelves. Breakdown for anyone trying to finish Menasor, also Tarn, Needlenose, Leo-Prime and others.

Man that's annoying. I keep a spreadsheet of the transformers we have on the system which scrapes data from the website to get updated ETAs and such, none of the evolution guys even have webpages yet. They don't even have images on the system. So I literally just paid for my Tarn, Hotshot and Needlenose from Indemand Toys when I probably could have gone into work on Sunday and picked them up with staff discount. Oh well

I travel a lot for work and saw this with some of the other figures a few years back that were out and available before any actual website info about them. Weirdly enough I've not been able to get a dead end, whereas all the other stunticons were shelfwarming and reduced to silly money.

I've been to around 6 other Smyths around the south today and nowhere else yet has the evolution stuff that Derby had.

Yeah, those stores get stock from a different warehouse. Smyths has 2 main warehouses in the UK, one often gets stock sooner than the others. My store is supplied by the same warehouse as Derby. Still kinda weird they haven't put web listings live yet.
Speaking of, for anyone interested, Smyths now has a web listing for Studio Series The Fallen. No date for it yet but we might actually see it at retail despite what Hasbro were telling online stores last year

Back on the sightings, got a Legacy Soundwave from Game Enfield for £15.99. Quite good as I can now use him for the lamp post mode, was reluctant to pay full whack for a secondary figure.

They also had a blaster for same price as well as a Motormaster and HISS tank both for £44.99.

My local smyths had the evolution stuff in too. Deluxes £25.hopefully it doesn't become another line of collectable like motu where I order them/have them delivered within the States. No Tarn though.

apparently TK Maxx has Legacy Galvatron in at £20 didnt see any in the one near me but might be handy for others.

5 Legacy Galvatrons @ £19.99 each in TK Maxx Glasgow Argyle street. The Sauchiehall street TK Max had 1 but I bought it haha.

Game clearance

Galaxy shuttle £25 (fair enough price for this voyager wannabe)
Tonkatron £70

Shows how much I don't keep up with this thread - Smyths is the only place I tend to look locally.
Just been into Game in Denton (Mcr) for something else & was very surprised to see a couple of Tonkatrons @£70 on the shelf. Also still had Galaxy Shuttle @£25, A-Starscream @£25, Laser Prime, and a few other things.

B&M have the Kingdom core figures for £6.99. In my local store, there's a Soundwave, Rat trap and a Hot Rod.
They also have the Cyberverse ultra figures for £12.99. Saw a Ramjet, Bumblebee and a Skullcruncher.

Most should have Dracodon too, I think - at least, my local does and recently restocked with Rattrap and Hot Rod that they didn't have before.

I visited my local Smyths (Carlisle) for the first time in a long time today, their Transformers section has shrunk a lot, but there was still a decent amount of Legacy stuff. They had the first wave of Evolution toys, a lot of wave 3 (namely Skullgrin and Pointblank, which seem to be shelf-warming), some Metalhawks which I'm guessing were a solid case, and a few remaining Velocitron toys including Override, Scourge, Burnout, Clampdown and, to my surprise, a few Cosmoses. While I'm not keen on Velocitron Cosmos, I know it was in pretty high demand when it first came out, so I thought they would've all gone ages ago. For Studio Series, it was mostly just shelf-warming Arcees (a mixture of Bumblebee and 1986), along with one each of Crosshairs and Hot Rod.

Blitzwing is now £30 at smyths and velocity scourge is down to £40 (not as low as the blink and miss it price at game but hey ho)

hasbro pulse has added more items to warehouse sale. I picked up a diaclon twin twist. sadly retro hotrod was out of stock despite being a new addition.

Lost track of what's sighted or not. But smyths have studio series rise of the beasts in. Deluxe battletrap at a staggering £39 for a deluxe. Cheetor is slightly less at *£35 and then bee and air razor at £27...crazzzy.

They also had recent wave of legacy (cross cut, prowl etc) and some of the eartspark stuff in

Christ, at £39 those are gonna shelf-warm until they go on deep, deep discount.

Supposedly Battletraps a voyager, Smyths (and people... including me) can't discern it from being a deluxe or voyager with it being in the same size boxes and not being bigger figure size wise XD

But for £39 I'd want it to light up, have pew pew sounds and come with another figure I guess Voyager cheetor is £35 because of its lack of paint and colour so Hasbro is passing the savings on to the buyer...yay?

Slim pickings on amazons spring sale but maybe these are worth a note:

SS86 Sludge £41
Wreckers impactor and fosilizor £42
Wreckers Leadfoot and fosilizor £42
(there is a seperate listing for Wreckers Springer at £25)

Titan class Cybertron Metroplex £95

He's now down to 24.99 so if anyone has been holding out, now's probably the time to get one. My store has loads left so I suspect many others do too

Just thought I'd give a heads up about the remaining SS ROTB figures that haven't appeared on shelves yet, Smyths have all of them in stores now however they will not go on shelves until Monday. They have an embargo on them for the 10th

Menasor £65 at smyths. Not sure how or why hasbro is making more of these things with it previously being on sale at game too (scratch that, if they can sell commander class at £45 for profit then making more and selling for more is a no brainier).

Beast wars reissues £6 each at b&m just like the good old days of market prices my local had cybershark, Wolfgang and tigertron.

My order for the Rise of Tyranny 2 pack arrived from Pulse today so if anyone has ordered it, expect it soon if you've not already got it.
I quite like the pair. They both feel quite nice in hand. Megatron has a surprisingly glossy finish to him that I hadn't noticed in the promo images. I was expecting him to be a little bit loose given how many iterations of this mold there's been but no such issues, even his neck joint which I've had issues with every version since Siege, actually stays in place. Ratbat has a lot of painted parts which I really hope holds up over time, I'm genuinely slightly worried to transform him in case I scratch any of the paint finish.

Just thought I'd give you all a heads up, anyone who has been holding off on getting legacy Metroplex, he goes down to £120 at Smyths stores starting tomorrow. Not many stores are listed to have stock though so you might need to check in stores as if they only have 1, it will say out of stock online for that store.

He is cheaper on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRANSFORMERS-G ... B09H14LP4G
