Saw the SWTF Death Star today in the window of FPG. Awful lot of empty space in that box!

Asda - a 'first encounter' double pack, modern Bumblebee versus Barricade. A bargain at £10 for two deluxe toys.

Cor, Woolies are fair rattling through those Real Gear figures!
TRU has been stuck on voyager wave 4 for a while now. I'm not sure what's in wave 5. Ditto the deluxes, although I think their wave 5 case contains Dropkick and the drone truck chappie.
Would wave 5 be that blue Ironhide and somebody?

Bought the last pair of Wiretap and Nightbeat, picked up Airraid and Armourhide while I was there. Wanted Skyblast but alas....
Wave 5 dlx is Payload and Dropkick.
Voyager ?
1 Ratchet and Blackout
2 Starscream and Ironhide
3 Op and Megatron
4 Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet
I don't think wave 5 is scheduled till Allspark Power..... and then it's Ironhide and Evac IIRC
.... and Incinerator and First Strike Optimus according to BBTS !

Evac is probably the most worthwhile of all the repaints, Looks like a completely new toy.

Just spotted on Toyz and Gamez a chinese knock off constructicon set based on the G1 toys. Right colours and everything! Says the quality isn't great, but for 11.99 (I think) can't go wrong! Ordered one.

Ordered one. If it is the same set as I had then treat it extremely gingerly. Hook snapped in half the first time I tried to combine them - leaving me with a two halves of a constructicon and the rest of the team standing around muttering to each other "this is not good".

Yeah, those knockoff Constructicons have been out for a few years along with a lot of combiner teams. They've done them in various scales- the World's Smallest scale ones (about 4" high when combined) being my personal favourite as they've been re-engineered to be more sturdy at such a small size. Except Motormaster, for some reason, whose arms snapped like twigs after one transformation.
The only full-scale ones I bought were Raiden and Landcross- the former stood up pretty well but the latter shattered like ice the first time I tried to transform the figures- I think only two out of the six survived one transformation, although that was because of the extremely thin plastic at the hips.
My advice to you would be to have a pair of snips and a nail file/sandpaper at the ready when they arrive. Trim off or file down any excess plastic that might still be attached from moulding, both to improve the look of the toy and to prevent anything getting caught during transformation. If any part doesn't move freely, examine it carefully to see what's sticking- you may need to take it apart with a screwdriver to file down whatever's causing the blockage. Forcing it will usually leave you with two distinct bits.

Woolworths are up to silly buggers. Deluxes have went up from £9.99 to £10.99, Cyber Stompers have went from £24.99 to £26.99 and Voyagers have went from £19.99 to £21.99. Now that's just taking the piss.

I saw Target Exclusive (so much for it being exclusive) Elita One, Air Raid and Armourhide in Woolies today.
Lots of the 3 packs (Devastator, Proto Prime, and Jazz) not selling too.

My Woolies had a restock of wave 3 Targets so grabbed the last one I needed. They've not had the 3 pack at all yet.
I don't suppose anyone's woolies still has wave 1 ?

I'm not sure if wave 1 was spotted anywhere UK-wise. If you want a 3-pack they sometimes have them at Woolies in Glasgow city centre. I can pick one up no bother.

Tesco in Falkirk have Alternators at £7.49 - Swindle, Dead End, Silverstreak and Shockblast. Seem to have just popped out of nowhere - I presume there is a warehouse full of unsold Alts somewhere.

Leader Movie Prime now in TJ Hughes Glasgow. Like Megatron, his price stickers clearly state...£69.99.
The really crap T.E.C.H. things were also present at £12, covered in dust and carefully kept some distance away from the rest of the TF stuff.
