I swept. I nearly didn't, I'm knackered and at the junction where left means Smyths and right means home, I was leaning toward right until the last second. Glad I changed my mind. That glorious moment of shock and surprise when you actually find what you're hoping to find is SO rare these days, but there on the shelf were Spinister, Crosshairs and Apeface. They are now MINE.

Forgot to say that I discovered a case of the mysterious Series 5 Botbots in Braehead Sainsbury's on Monday. Which remains confusing. (The appearance of Series 5, that is, not the Sainsbury's.)

I picked up a Cyberverse Whirl One Step Changer in Sainsburies last night. Not sure if this is news? He is far from a One Step Changer - at least four steps. Completely messed up my time schedule for the evening.
They also had Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Bludgeon.

FPM were getting a delivery in when I was there. Saw a case of 2pcs 'TRA GEN WFC E LEADER OPTIMUS PRIME'. Does the E stand for Earthrise? Or is this the Siege Cybertron Optimus?

Forbidden Planet in Glasgow yesterday had Earthrise Optimus Prime for the bargain price of £59.99, but more importantly they had a whole load of Cyberverse Rack'n'Ruins! They weren't so over-priced, being the standard £19.99 for that class size, but I still had to pass because that's still too much for me...

Crosshairs in my local Entertainer today - I assume the others were also there but were already in some ones possession.

FPM: Earthrise Optimus Prime £50. Put it next to Siege Optimus, which damned it utterly. I could not tell them apart. It looks almost identical so a very easy pass to me. Also having it next to Siege leader Ultra Magnus on a shelf did it no favours!!! 50 squid for essentially the same toy again? Eff off!
Instead, I picked by Cyberverse Rack N'Ruin.

Forbidden Planet have had Select Stuff on their website before, so it's not that surprising. Although I don't know how much of that actually made it to stores...

Which version of Forbidden Planet? There are two different FP businesses.

As they are all showing as in stock on their website and have been for a few days, I am expecting them to arrive in store on either the Tuesday or Thursday deliveries this week.

We did receive them all in today along with Studio Series Mixmaster. I did acquire Starscream and Grapple.
I did find it interesting that the case assortments have changed. In the past they have always been mixed assortmnents for the Generations line and Studio series, but every box I opened today were solid cases of one character. off the top of my head:
Earthrise Grapple 3 in a box. Earthrise Starscream 3 in a box. Earthrise Astrotrain 2 in a box. Earthrise Optimus 2 in a box. Studio Series Mixmaster 3 in a box.
The strange ones were the next three that came back in, that were all previously in a case of 8 with 4 different figures, but all came in solid cases of 8 were Studio Series Bumblebee, Arcee and Soundwave. Previously all in teh same case with WW2 Hot Rod.
