Yep, I wasnt't expecting my luck to hold like that at all. This is most peculiar. I most certainly do have a Sky Lynx on pre-order (weird) now, and whilst I was there decided to pick up a Grapple, too. Maverick was tempting, but in the end I realised I just wasn't that fussed.
Which was just as well because during the midnight feed last night I saw the news about In Demand! Hasbro's distribution of the later Botbots Series has been shockingly poor (although that said we had to travel to the opposite side of the planet to complete Series 1...), so this has been more than welcome. Looking forward to having 80 Transformers to open all in one go...

Zavvi doing 15% off selected TFs (via HUKD) Shame their £1.99 delivery fee is basically killing any reduction. Although Blurr is already reduced.

I received a notification from house of Fraser stating that the random leader figure I had ordered has been shipped, but nothing on ego chicken yet.
A few Smyths price reductions I spotted last night:
Kingdom Inferno is now £19.99 from £24.99. Quintession Judge is £17.99 from £19.99. Netflix Earthrise Optimus Prime minus the trailer but with the two battle masters £29.99 from £39.99.

I received a notification from house of Fraser stating that the random leader figure I had ordered has been shipped, but nothing on ego chicken yet. I just got a message saying my 9-1pm delivery slot had been changed to 9-11am. As I hadn't known it was being delivered today and it was already 10.25am, I hurriedly got changed and ran downstairs, just in time to see a car stop in front of the house. I had forgotten that Hermes employed ordinary people with their own car to deliver packages. The deliverers were a husband & wife team, who said they were delivering parcels as a "post-retirement" job. I had ordered one figure and received Optimus Prime. I'm fine with this, though part of me was hoping for Doubledealer. The box is also quite squashed, as a result of being thrown into a car boot. Not much else to say yet at the moment. The packaging label states it is one-size-fits-all. Suggestions on how to wear it will be gratefully received.

What condition did it arrive in?
Andy K showed us his HoF delivery last night and they were in a bag and the boxes all dinged and crushed.

Much the same. It arrived in a bag and the box is damaged in several places. The front and top have been squashed, with small cracks and splits in the transparent plastic; the cardboard has a 'ruffled' appearance in places, particularly around the tape seals; and the box art looks less glossy & shiny in comparison to other Siege/Kingdom boxes.
The toy & trailer don't appear damaged, though I haven't opened it yet for an inspection.

I just had the first part of my order delivered. The box is fine and again showed up in the bag, but I was unsurprised to find out that I got Double Dealer. Just my luck.
Now I have three of this terrible figure.

Thanks but I have managed to sell my HOF one on. It seems everyone else has been receiving Primes, even multi Primes if they ordered two, but so far I am the only person I have seen get Double Dealer.

Odd. I was surprised they when they started shipping orders out in parts rather than wait for Sky Lynx to come in ship it as one. We still have the fun of waiting for Ego the Space Chicken to show up.

Spotted in GAME in Glasgow St Enoch- Prime and Doubledealer at 24.99, Ratbat/Rumble and the Battle Patrol lads at £8.
Clearly Mike Ashley bought a big bundle of stock...

Its a remarkable coincidence that Game, also owned by Mike Ashley's company, now has Sky Lynx back in stock at £58 just as HOF stock runs out.

What you'd expect from him. Honestly surprised to have gotten any of my order, despite state.

Football, football, trainers, sports bra, Optimus Prime does sound a bit odd.

That *is* very odd. I hope that those that weren't able to get a Sky Lynx from HoF can get one from here...

I had to pop into town, and popped into Sports Direct on the off chance that these are instore. Kilmarnock didn't have any, but we have a rather small store compared to every other one I have been in. Maybe the very large ones will have one.
Have any Glasgow people looked in the store in the city centre for any of these?
