Smyths will get them eventually, I am sure.

We still don't know though we can presume they are getting wave 2 as the Spoiler box is on pre-order.
There is also the issue of whether it is safe to go to a Smyths. The 3 I can get a lift to are in high infection areas so currently staying away (otherwise I would have went to get another 2 Scrapfaces so I can make the camera - the website is a joke).
I am all in for wave 2, if I can get them. The W*NC paint jobs are so good.
Cartoon sucked balls though.

I think Smyths is a safe bet as ID said on Facebook that they aren't allowed them. No one else in this country stocks Generations, let alone wants exclusives.
Finding the Bumblebee is going to be hard work.

Do Smyths still do a collection point outside the store? Mine did for a while. Otherwise online orders may be the way forward

Last time I tried to order from Smyths the website insisted I was in Leeds Birstall.
I was not, in fact, in Leeds Birstall.

Otherwise online orders may be the way forward The problem with online orders for Smyths is that they are known for never putting stock on the website for order while having loads in store. A chum had to go to one to get some Netflix figures for me as they never came into stock for home delivery. It's very common for home delivery stock to have an ever shifting release date on the website before changing to out of stock. -Ralph |

Finding the Bumblebee is going to be hard work. Welllll, plenty of Transformers never get UK distribution. The Entertainer sells some Generations. I expect the Bumblebee to be scalped to oblivion. -Ralph |

I thought once I'd completed the back catalogue of what I wanted, including the hideously overpriced phantomstrike set and minibots set, that I could sit back and cruise through through the rest of the collection buying as soon as they came out. It's far more stressful now knowing I'll probably miss out on quite a few and still get robbed. Oh the life of a collector is fraught with financial and emotional danger.

Well you have plenty of people who will be willing to assist with this - I'm always happy to go on a quest myself, even if not for myself. But yes, I too will be after Bumblebee, and have The Fear. I suspect that there won't be any danger of the general public snapping him up since there are so many Bumblebee toys on the shelves they'll be confused for choice. Scalpers, on the other hand... |

I want Bee - mainly because he is a VW Beetle.
I'd like an Elita-1 too.
Hopefully Smyths will get these.

Bee is the must have, with a trailerless Prime if I can swing it.

Wave 2 preorders went up today at TF Robots: www.tf-robots.nl/c-2918855/pre-orders/Had to put one in for Bumblebee as every other order I've seen for him sold out almost immediately, but I also red hazed and pulled the trigger on Soundwave despite the price. |

Oh FUCK OFF!
Can't wait to see this next to Dead Prime so we can compare the exciting shades of grey used.
