May pop on to B&M to see what is there.
All the BW reissues (I think) have ended up on deep discount. They were vastly overpriced!

They always struck me as overpriced, but I wonder if it's reflective of production costs? The only one I have is Cybershark and he feels of a much higher quality of finish and general heft (and also with play features!) than the typical modern deluxe.

Wolfang, Tigertron and Retrax found. No Cybershark but have seen photos.

I will have to do the rounds and have a look too. I don't have originals for Cybershark or Wolfang so they're definitely on the list. I got that wrong when I mentioned it earlier in the week - I think I said K-9, meant Wolfang.

Nothing in my B and M, so I'm starting to suspect there's somebody living local cleaning out most of the bargains. I did get a BW Scorponok for 15 quid in the Entertainer but they've been knocking around in there for months.

Nothing in the one I checked this morning, but there were no gaps on the shelves so I suspect they havent got any yet.

That's true. No gaps in mine either. I wondered if they'd been and gone and the gap filled, but there were a few other random gaps so maybe not.

I've not been seeing stacks of them. Maybe just one box per shop? I certainly cleaned out store out.

No doubt Phil can tell us what's in a case (and probably how that compares to the original release, including all international variations) and whether this seems likely. Phil?  |

It's worth remembering too that B&M's distribution is not even across all their stores. They're box shifters and if there's no stock left to go on the lorry, the shops concerned don't get anything. Recall the Doctor Who wave that missed the south east completely a few years back.
I tried two B&Ms on the way home tonight and found no BW figures. I did find the Ninth Doctor set finally reduced to £13 though, so I bought that as a consolation.

Keep your eyes open. It will also help you avoid running into walls.

Found Cybershark, Wolffang and Retrax today.
Intended to grab at least one, but passed on them in the end.

Went to another B&M today to look for BW reissues for Ralph. Alas the universe must've realised what I was up to as I found none.

I give up trying to find Transformers in brick and mortar stores! Back to online shopping for me! I can't find Earthspark, ROTB or BW.

Do you have an Entertainer near you? Mine had both the latter two.

He has tried them. They take the robots off the shelf when he comes and put them back the next day for me.
Went to another local B&M today. Robots abounded.
