Indeed. That’s even a fair way above what Pulse recently clearanced that set for, and the EU Pulse store still can’t get rid of Bulkhead at about 70% off!
Of course Springer, the only one I don’t have, is now well above RRP everywhere...

They've left such an impression on me that I cant even remember which of them I have.

Hmmm. £27 is a bit pricy for one deluxe mold I don't have, and a fossil mastodon that isn't doing much for me. On the other hand, it is the only one of that sub-wave that I was actually interested in... Decisions, decisions...

Ah, shame. He's been only £16.99 on Hasbro Pulse for some time....Unfortunately, it's marked now as Sold Out. I picked him up just before Christmas, but his legs are a bit on the loose side, so I may have to bust out a screwdriver at some point, just to tighten up his tolerances a bit. Twin Twist is still there at £14.99 though!

Picked them up on the cheaper Pulse price for eventual unboxing.
Maybe sold out there now as they sold their stock on to Bargain Max as Pulse couldn't shift it?

Even The Entertainer have been getting in some of the 'Wreckers' line. They had a few Impactors during November, but recently, they've had Springers in stores. Definitely overstocks that never shifted at full price.

I saw an Impactor in The Entertainer yesterday, but they still wanted £56 for it, so I passed. Oddly, ours had Springer back in November...
I've never seen the Bulkhead.

My Entertainer has randomly had a Wreckers Springer appear every few months. Just the one, I am convinced it is the same one that they put in the back and then bring back out.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the owner of The Entertainer stores is a devout Christian, and they pride themselves on only stocking morally healthy and educational toys and games - or at least they used to be that way. "As it turns out, cars and trucks that turn into robots aren't really that blasphemous. Machines can turn into other machines, and it's not a sleight against God. Since God created MAN, and MAN created the Transformers, it's like the Transformers are a gift from God!" (Thanks Elias! )

Why would it be a sleight against God? Moons of Madness.
Where is that quote from?

Sounds like an eventual unboxing scenario to me.

Yeah, I seem to recall that t'Entertainer didn't stock Harry Potter stuff because the owner objected to it on grounds of witchcraft, or something. But my memory could be lying to me.
Anyway, whatever the case, it seems that they've now removed most of their pre-Christmas discounts, following the old Toysaurus logic of "well if people won't buy it cheap then we'll just let it sit there at full price for years until someone finally breaks!". Which always went well.
As to Bulkhead, he was cheap in the Pulse sale, and as he was on my Christmas list I didn't bother getting him in case someone did for me. But no one did. And now he's gone. Oh well.

Don’t know if it’s hit the UK store yet, but the EU Pulse store just expanded is outlet section and added a bunch Transformers - Medix, Nemesis Leo Prime, Blitzwing, Cloudcover, Gamer Edition Cliffjumper and some movie studio series bits. All well below half price.
