It would appear Toph has had some luck in this department, I wait to hear from him.
ID were selling the Micromaster set for £60 and the Rainmakers for £115 at TFN, but I think that was basically them buying at retail price in the US and getting them shipped over to resell. I don't think they've been on sale online from a UK seller.

I worked out at TFN that the Micromaster set including postage from Robot Kingdom was £55, but that's without CUTA and it seems RK stuff is getting caught all the time at the moment. Phil's been done on everything he's bought recently. I'm pretty sure ID have said they can't get any more as they're basically getting people in the US to go to shops to look for them.

Micromasters appear relatively easy to get but Rainmakers are a bit mad. I searched for them a few days ago around New York and nothing came up so I went to show available. The nearest was 100 miles away the fourth and last option was in Hawaii.

I am waiting to see if any UK sellers get the Rainmakers and Micromaster box set. Surely someone must get them?

I am convinced one of Smyths/Tescos has them as an exclusive

Smyths has not carried much Siege and Tesco hasn't carried any so I remain unconvinced (though would like to be wrong).

I wouldn't like to rely on it, but Tesco have turned up the odd thing in the past. When they get as far as trying to fill those extra toy aisles in the run up to Christmas we do get odd bits. Didn't we get a few Leaders out of nowhere a year or so back? Sixshot or something?

Not at any Tesco I was at! It's been a very long time since I found anything that wasn't RID or Cyberverse at any of their stores, even big ones.

Tesco at Christmas seems the best bet. The ones that have carried Transformers have had big selections for the past couple of years.

When was the last time Smyths did an exclusive?

Got a nice G1 Downshift through from Brr-icy yesterday, as well as MP-44. Which I am unsure about. I will probably open it and sell on MP-10, but still!

Processed my return of MP44 today and to make up for the disappointment, G1 Overdrive showed up

Interesting. You actually returned it? This requires a blog post!

I opened it up and found a very badly placed pin in a leg part that was causing it to snap. Great figure though, will get another once the refund is in!

Agreed, it's impressive.
Very pleased with mine. And it came with a free t-shirt!

My Off Road Patrol from Amazon.com was due to arrive yesterday. It didn't turn up and is now marked as 'Returning' to Amazon as 'LandMark' were unable to complete delivery.
Not sure what has happened but according to the tracker earlier in the week the parcel had made it to the UK a fortnight after I ordered it!

They really have gone Off-Road!
Not heard of LandMark. Perhaps they are...Decepticons!

I used to have Astro Magnum (aka Galactic Man aka Shackwave) for many years before I ever had any incarnation of Shockwave so I had to have the new one. It is the 'correct' Shockwave toy colour, for me.
