I was expecting to be falling over Generations/RTS toys now that I'm in the States, but it looks like I'm stuck with just the ones that I already ordered from BBTS- the wave with Skullgrin, Thunderwing et al in it. I managed to find Kup from a previous wave, but I've still to locate:
Perceptor
Wreck-gar
Scourge
Thundercracker
Laser Rod Prime
Wheeljack
Warpath
Terradive
Tomahawk
There's a bundle on BBTS that's offering Warpath, Thundercracker and Wheeljack for £27 that looks very tempting, but that still leaves a lot. Has anybody seen one or more of these chaps in a UK toy store, physical or online? The markups on some of them are crazy, particularly for the Junkion.
Thanks folks!
-Nick

Terradive and Tomahawk have been in Smyths (imported stock). I don't know if they're still there.
My stock of Perceptor, Wreck-Gar and Prime came and went a while ago. I should have Scourge before long. (Hmm, I should chase that up, they were due last month.)
There's been no sign of Thundercracker, Wheeljack or Warpath on general release here that I know of. Anyone seen them as imports anywhere?

First the bad news: Terradive Tomahawk are Hunt for the Decepticons. Long gone in the US and never got a genmeral release here. Smythes had them in: KARL did the new Falkirk branch get any? Then Perceptor Wreck-gar Laser Rod Prime All Reveal The Shield. Swindon's Wilkinsons had some @ 10.99 each the other week. Shall I pull the trigger? Scourge was generally released in the US. But probably gone now Leaving Thundercracker Wheeljack Warpath Which haven't had a wide release in the US. BBTS have some Scourge/Thundercracker/Wheeljack at www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=2339&company=0&category=6564or failing that www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT98452HS1 for the four you need plus a spare Kup. Warpath..... oh dear. You'd need a friend, say someone who'd preordered it and then brough one off eBay and has one spare. £16 is what I paid for it. Hasbro keep saying there's more Generations coming but I wouldn't believe a word of it. EDIT: Nigel replied while I was typing. |

Thank you uncle Phil! If you get the chance to be anywhere near Wilkinsons could you pick up Wreck-gar, Perceptor and Laser Rod Prime for me? There are many cheap American toys in it for you  -Nick |

Right. First the bad news: Terradive Tomahawk are Hunt for the Decepticons. Long gone in the US and never got a genmeral release here. Smythes had them in: KARL did the new Falkirk branch get any? Didn't have any on opening weekend, just DOTAMAN and a smattering of marked down ROTF Leaders. Sorry about that. I can have another look this weekend and see if any have come to light, but I wouldn't hold the breath on that. Karl |

Anyone seen them as imports anywhere? Terradive is amazing - when i seen him i disregarded the fact he was a movie figure of sorts and bought him. I'm guessing Tomahawk was the helicopter. Both where way up high the Smyths shelves out of normal reach. |

Aaand while I was out the pre-order for the trio of Wheeljack, Thundercracker and Warpath on BBTS sold out. Shit.
Apparently there are two branches of Toys'r'us in Des Moines, which is about 45 minutes away by bus. No clue how to get to TRU from Des Moines, however.

Found Terradive in Smyths in Belfast last week, but no sign of Tomahawk. Or Wreck-Gar, but they had the rest of that RTS wave.

Wish you'd posted this a few days ago could have helped you out in a few places. Basically you have almost no chance of Warpath barring dumb luck. I didn't even see one at Botcon. They were there but I didn't see them, I got one from a friend so I lucked out.
I probably could have helped out with some of the others though. I will keep an eye out for Scourge we found one or two in the wild. If no one else finds one I have an extra Perceptor I had to open it but its new and shiney still.
If you do come across Warpaths, Tony, Mark and t'other Andy all want one. Also check out TJ Maxx stores, first day here I found Bumblebee and Perceptor for $7 each and have found assorted other figures since. KMarts also often seem to have older stock for some reason if you come across any.

Warpaths didn't make it to the shelves in the US: he won't find one unless they get dumped at discounters like the Windchargers have been

They did make it in very small numbers (a friend found some and I believe mine was found on the shelf.)

There are many cheap American toys in it for you -Nick Perceptor & Laser Rod Prime found. No Wreck Gar's left. Could anyone who's going check their Wilkinsons and TRUs for one for Nick? |

That Belfast Smyths is in the worst possible location especially when trying to get out of its carpark I'm not local, only go there when I'm visiting friends in Belfast as it's near them, so not really noticed any carpark problems. I really should check out the Smyths near me as it's a decent toystore. |
