I expect they are all online only.
Its gotta be a screw up for them to cancel the HOF ones only to then list them on Sportsdirect. Someones clicked a button and caused a load of hassle.

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? Oh gods no - Sports Direct was an overcrowded and crammed nightmare that I loathed entering before the pandemic, I'm certainly not going in one now, I'm afraid...

Sorry. I didn't make it clear in that I meant has anyone found any in a House of Fraser store? Glasgow have a large one in near the St Enoch centre do they not?
I did finally find an Earthrise Prime £25, a POTP Snarl £12 and a Mircromaster pack of Direct-Hit and Power Punch for £8 in a Game last week.

Merrifield needs a Snarl and Sludge if you can find him one of each

But no, not been into one of those, either. And I'm not sure I will - I don't go into town that much at the moment, mostly only visits to FP to collect comics, and then back out as fast as I can. But the conjunx was talking of going in some time this week, so I'll see if she can take a peek...

In completely unsurprising news, I awoke to an email telling me that my order for Sky Lynx from Sports Direct has been cancelled as the item is out of stock. Yet when I last checked it was showing as ready to ship.
What a terrible online stock management system House of Fraser and Sports Direct have, that allows you to order more stock then they have.
Edit: I later noticed on my bank account that the entire payment has been taken and cleared from my account.

if your Smyths still have Earthrise Prime in stock, it is now down to £20. I was just telling a colleague last night while tidying the store that I picked it up in Game last week for £25 when it was £47 there, and today the one we have on the shelf is now £20. Typical.

I'm looking for a Blackwing but none of the Glasgow Games seem to have any deluxes in stock. Cheers, Jonathan

This was the Irvine store. My local closed nearly two years ago, so I had to travel. Did you ask the staff if they had any? I did mention to the staff member that served me when I bought the Prime, that was the only TF out, and they brought through Double Dealer, Snarl and the Micromaster set saying these are the only others ones they have, but didn't have space to put any out.

Top continue of the Sky Lynx for £40 front, the small smattering of Smyths stores that have them in stock, now have them for £40.

Well that's typical. Do they usually price match like that? Sorry that this is causing you so much of a headache...

Smyths don't usually price match. It does seem to be more of clearing the last years toyline out, but the pricing and timing are a bit suspicious.

Strangely we have a Jetfire on the shelf but no Sky Lynx for months.
In the opposite of discounts I have noticed many figures going up in price. The Netflix WFC figures have gone up from £19.99 to £21.99, Cyclonus from £24.99 to £27.99 and the next wave of Kingdom figures due within a coupleof weeks have gone from £17.99 to £18.99.
The Commander Rodimus is now £90+. It looks like a mix of Covid and Brexit are kicking in.

And while it's a video game, it is transformers related. The Cyberverse Transformers Battleground game is now £5 at Smyths for the Xbox One. I think it it the same for the PS4,but I didn't look.
I finally picked it up at that price.

Now, if they could just get Ratchet and the coneheads in, that'd be great.
