Oooh these are all in stock in my local Smyths now. Pinwig's going to be parting with some cash tomorrow...

Today I have seen and had to sadly walk away without buying the Military Patrol and Hot Rod Patrol. It's a tough time, guys.

I'll try. There was only one of each. Did note bilingual packaging though, if that's any help.

Packaging's standard worldwide now. Big age rating in a round circle, no text, just an EAN on the rear - no more UPCs for our US cousins.
First time Earthrise Micromasters have been seen on shelves in the UK.
Keep an eye for the Battlemasters too - Soundbarrier and Smashdown. Kapow and InDemand had them a month back, not been seen elsewhere.

Was in the Kingston Entertainer earlier. They'd found a Cog from somewhere and now had multiples of Siege Starscream & Soundwave

Today I have seen and had to sadly walk away without buying the Military Patrol and Hot Rod Patrol. It's a tough time, guys. I too saw them (in FP Brum) and walked away as I can always get them another time. Pennies already committed elsewhere. Saw ER Starscream. Looks fine but not different enough from the Siegeker to warrant a full price purchase. ER Grapple looks nice but I don't want an easily broken toy. ER Astrotrain looks tiny!!! Nice...but tiny!!! -Ralph

Cyberverse 1-step Repugnus found in Sainsburgeries Ashton!
I like to point out I didn't go out looking for toys. I was searching for bog roll and checked while I was in.

Even in these dark times... new toys can be found. Ralph gives us hope.

It's a pity there isn't a Decepticon called Trouble, just so we could go looking for it.

With a little more time now that I'm not working I finally made it out to the local Sainsbury's this morning, and they did indeed have the Bludgeon and Repugnus waves of Cyberverse One-Step changers... but no Whirl! Nooooooo! It is clearly not to be...

I only saw Cyberverse Whirl once (in Toys Galore in Edinburgh) so I am glad I red hazed when I saw it. Well worth it if you ever see one. I honestly prefer it to Thrilling 30 Whirl.

While doing the fortnightly Asdaland food rub, I spied two new Cyberverse Scouts! HIVE SWARM BUMBLEBEE (with gattling guns) and GRAVITY CANNON WHEELJACK. Amazing!!! -Ralph

Nooooooo! It is clearly not to be... I've just been to a Sainsburys (doing an essential shop of course) and spotted a Whirl that I picked up if you still want one. (Not to worry if not, I'm sure I'll find a home for it elsewhere).

The Netflix WFC deluxes have shown up at Smyth's today so will be available for click n collect. The box breakdown is;
2x Hound 2x Mirage 2x Sideswipe 1x Chromia 1x Scapface
Unless stores received more than one box Chromia and Scrapface will show as out of stock online if there is only one of each in store. We only received a single box.
I have heard Smyths may start opening on the 1st June in England and 21st in Scotland to customers. I don't know about Wales and N. Ireland.

You may not be able to say, but has there been any indication Smyths will have W*NC in stock for home delivery? I physically can't get to a store due to lockdown restrictions and am still trying to get Megatron, Hotlink, Mirage and Scrapface. Just wondered!
Who knew a small repaint line would be so hard to get! Argh. Och. Argh.

It does say on the website listings that they're expected in stock for home delivery this week. I don't think it'll be long.

Post by The Doctor on May 28, 2020 19:14:03 GMT
Where does it say that? Whenever I look, every item shows as out of stock for home delivery but in stock for stores. I had assumed that meant that home delivery wasn't currently working due to the Current Situation?

Post by Pinwig on May 28, 2020 19:17:37 GMT
No, they've been delivering for ages. If you go to a listing and click on home delivery, even if it says out of stock, it puts a message underneath saying when it's due in stock for home delivery. eg, Decepticon Mirage currently says due 25th May - 1st June.

Oh right. Well that solves that then. Will grab it online when it comes into stock then. Hooray.

Okay here's the thing. Do I too attempt a Siege Hound or, having perused the side of the Earthrise box, wait and see if a more Earthy version is on the horizon?
