Stopped into Toy Town in the Forge yesterday and was surprised by the amount of Titans Return was on offer. Deluxes from several waves (at least wave 1, and whichever had Kup and Triggerhappy, wave 4?). Sixshots everywhere.
The deluxes were all kicking around the £12 mark from memory.
No PotP or Seige sadly.

Was looking forward to dropping by Smyths on the way home tomorrow to see if I could find a Friday treat, but an online check suggests no Siege to be had in my local. Boo!

Went anyway. They're in the middle of a rearrange as the shelves were half empty. The only Generations stuff they had was Blackwing's Deluxe wave and a lone Voyager Inferno. The guy in the aisle though did ask what I was after, so I said Siege. He said he hadn't seen any, but they had just had a big delivery that they were still processing. He was stacking the next shelf along with Fortnight figures. I left glumly.

Website says no... I'm not risking it. I shall wait, predator-like, and pounce on Fareham when they get some in.

No, you're expected to pick extras up and drop them off at Chateau Pinwig

I have been monitoring. None of the stores have yet shifted off no stock for Siege.
About a third of stores appeared to get a PotP Grimlock restock this week. Silly amounts at some stores and none at others.

I wonder if they are the left overs from the first (only?) wave of Primes and Megatrons they got in Nov/early Dec.

Probably. A damning indictment on the lack of Transformers fans in Essex.

Stay calm, everyone. January is usually a barren time for new toys due to how retail works.

prime and Megatron Siege figures have now shown up a few times in Smyths. The first in Nov/Dec. The second showed up in Kilmarnock on the 23rd, put out for the morning of Christmas Eve, as I bought one of each as my Christmas present to myself. There has also been a third batch of them since New Year that have since sold out already. Kilmarnock have only been getting two boxes each time, so there is 1 Prime and 1 Megs per box, so only two at a time showing up. We are one of the smaller UK stores, so larger stores may get more but it generally seems to be two at a time for them so far.

Given the way it went last time are we hoping Asda for Battlemasters and Entertainer for Leaders and Micromasters?

I would LOVE it with this line if I could visit Smyths on the way home of a Friday and pick up a new toy weekend treat. That would really make me happy.
