Imagine my surprise to find a huge range of Animated TF's in my local Asda. Ratchet, BlackArachnia, Bumblebee, Jazz, Snarl, Optimus....quite impressed. However i'm disappointed with how small the Dinobots are.

A solitary case of Universe Deluxe wave 2 arrived in Toys'r'us today. It contained:
3 x Galvatron
3 x Acid Storm
1 x Sunstreaker
1 x Prowl
Looks like Tankor may be the tough chap to find this time round.

We had these in too - also have you seen the 'exclusive' Bumblebee & Ratchet 2 pack yet? The two deluxe toys are identical to their individual selves (which we seem to have plenty of on the pegs at the moment) and it costs £29.99.
Shame the two pack wasn't of Prowl and Lockdown, who a lot of the kids seem to be after at the moment.
Still, it's something unique to us in the UK.

I found Universe Legends in Asda today for £2.94 each. I was going to get Onslaught, but then found a George At Asda Autobot t-shirt for just £6 (full price!) so got that instead. I was going to post a photo but forgot to take one. It's dark grey with the Autobot logo on the front, which has light grey in the middle fading to darker grey on the outside.

Animated Blitzwing, Lugnut and Grimlock seem to be mounting a concerted invasion at the moment. I've seen them in FP:Edinburgh, and in Tesco in Falkirk.

Matt- yep, a whole ONE box showed up on today's truck. I put it out and had to pick my jaw up off the floor after I priced it. I know it'll go down soon enough but stone the crows...
Mind you, it's the only way to get Bumblebee and Ratchet around here. We only got three cases of wave 2 in and I bought half of them for myself and the Scots crew. Meanwhile we've had about eight cases of wave 3 and currently boast a mountain of Oil Slicks to prove it.
Speaking of sparse TF allocations, we finally got Universe Powerglide and Onslaught in earlier in the week. Two boxes, one of each in a box. Two days later they're gone. I think I put the 2-packs in their spot.
However, if anyone currently needs a TMNT "Cowabunga Carl" van we currently have about 400.

Voyager prime, Oilslick and Jazz now in my local FBP (Southampton) TRU only has Lugnut and Blitzwing, what a letdown.

I wonder if my local Woolies will have them though, as they seem to have gone back to the pre-movie position of not having many Transformers and not getting them in stock until after everywhere else. (I'm only about 35 miles from Hasbro's depot, how the smeg is Scotland getting everything first again?) |

We also had in the latest Fast Action Battlers (I can't believe these are still being churned out, but the kids do like them I suppose) - Rally Rocket Bumblebee & Desert Attack Brawl.

Yup. Needed to be sold at the £35 tag somewhere so they can later claim it'as reduced.

Woolies Clydebank had a pile of the Universe mini-con 12-packs. Really nice presentation box, I must say. At £34.99 they can whistle for it though!

Star Wars TF's in the 'Transformers Crossovers' packaging have turned up in FPG. £14.99. I'm not knowledgable enough of the line to say if they are new toys or repackaged old ones.

The Universe Mini-Cons had arrived in Woolworths when I visited today. The shelf label said £34.99 but according to the Christmas Big Red Book it is £17.49 and is also available online, though currently out of stock. They are repaints, not the original colours pictured. |
