He is the new Chromia. Kapow etc not had him yet.
What do they say for Red Alert and Reflector, who should share the case with him?

Damn it. I should have bought a Brunt at TFN!

OH FFS.
I held off on an expensive import Springer at TFN as Smyths website had it as due 29th Oct-5th Sept. Now it just says 'September 2019'.

Great start but it's been a nightmare finding anything at retail since, and the way the online specialists are going we'll probably be the last people on the planet to get our Jetfires.

Yup. A difficult range to collect!

Forbidden Planet in Glasgow seem to have restocked their Siege - Thundercracker, Red Alert, Reflector, Sixgun and the Wave 2 Micromasters are all in stock now.

Jonathan Oh, I could do with a Thundercracker, even if getting Skywarp is going to be a needlessly expensive nightmare. Thanks, Jonathan: I'll nip in later for a look. But this is also a sign of the End Times: FP used to be the last place we'd go to look for TFs!

Was walking past FPM when I spotted solid case Siege Springers in the boxes at the counter. Chap couldn't let me have one as Head Office won't allow it until they are on The System. However, he did put one aside for me under the counter so long as I pick it up on Saturday. Result!
With the date having went vague on Smyths it may be my only way to get one!

They're in general UK circulation now and have been for a week or so. Jim said when Irbital got theirs.

Hence why I am very greatful The Man in FPM agreed to put one aside for me for a few days when he was under no obligation to do so. Siege is so hard to come by in the wild I try to grab it when I see it. I can't imagine Springer will be on the pegs for long!

A lonely Shockwave was the only Siege product on the shelves at Preston Smyths this evening. I think the mounds of Overlords must have destroyed all the £1 Sideswipes.

Again the lesson is reinforced: buy Siege when you see it (spare pennies permitting) or miss it. The Red Alerts have all sold. Six Gun is the peg warmer. -Ralph

Interesting. Red Alert was the only W3 Deluxe left in the dealers' room at the end of TFN.
This reminds me I have not yet secured any W3 Deluxes.

There is much released Siege I have yet to find. I am sure Phil put a checklist on here of the range somewhere!

I'd be fucked without a list. No two ways about it.

That's an argument in favour of not making a list, surely..?

But this is also a sign of the End Times: FP used to be the last place we'd go to look for TFs! Ach, I waited too long. FP had no Thundercracker for me. Only 1x Shockwave, 3x Red Alert and 1x Red Heat/Stakeout and 1x Springer. Momentarily flirted with the idea of buying Springer but noped out when I saw the £30 price-tag! To the Interwebs I go. PS: Lists? Much of the pleasure I get from this hobby is tending to my beloved mega-spreadsheet of joy.

I have yet to see a Thundercracker in the wild (but then I haven't seen most of Siege in the wild).
Smyths is now on Daily Watch for Jetfire.

The Siege figures have updated expected in stock dates on the Smyths website. Considering Springer was originally suppoed to be in stock by the 5th of July, Then August take this with a pinch of salt.
Jetfire 6th to 13th September Springer - 11th to 18th September Brunt, Reflector and Red Alert - 11th to 18th September.
