I wasn't sure if I should put it here or not but I did spot a single Bumblbee Funko Pop in Tesco for a fiver this afternoon. So others may hav ethe rest of the wave or maybe Tesco only received Bumblebee.

Indeed Ralph. The only figures I have seen in a supermarket in a while are what ever th elegion figure size class of Cyberverse is called in Asda. Even B&M an dHome Bargains have only had the Evergreen Alpha, Bravo etc poundland quality looking line for a while.
I was still surprised to see this pop figure. I am also not someone who likes pops.

Popped in to an Asdaland for compost. While there found unexpected tat! A 3-pack of small die-cast vehicles of 80's Optimus Prime, Starscream and Bumblebee called 'Nano Holywood Rides'.
Astoundingly, the back of the card has a copyright date of...2022! Tat from the future!

£6.97.
It was in my trolley before I had even processed what it was. My brain caved in at seeing something in a supermarket with box art for 84 Prime and Bumblebee on the card.

Woah! They look lovely.
I remember five or so years back TRU had a line of diecast TF vehicles but I think they were NuRiD. Proper 84 style is cool!

I like how the box art makes it seem Bumblebee is very sternly telling off a very sheepish Optimus Prime.

I have one of Jada's die cast Primes and their robot figure set, but I haven't come across these. Perhaps they'll be in my local Asda when the non-essential aisles reopen.

As it happened, they actually were in my local Asda on my first trip back to the toy aisles, earlier this week. There was also a live action set featuring Optimus Prime and two different Bumblebees. (There were also nifty Batman vehicles.)

Jada 1/32 Optimus Prime: Original version and also Last Knight. At just £7.97 they're nearly a crime. At Asda, like Nanos, these die-cast a sight.

An impressive amount of stock in Glasgow Forbidden Planet earlier. Most of Kingdom (minus Cyclonus) some Earthrise, the SS86 deluxes, Selects Megatron and Deep Cover,the retro Headmasters and a few other odds and ends.

Aren't Selects supposed to be online-only?
I found another die-cast in Asda today. (Who says it's a lost art?) 2016 Camaro Bumblebee. They seem to be having fairly random assortments of six cars. When I bought the two different Primes, they also had a 60s Batmobile, but when I bought Bumblebee today they had one Prime, Kitt, Mystery Machine and Delorean, which would have precluded the earlier variety.

Aren't Selects supposed to be online-only? Allegedly. But as is well documented I found one in a toy dept last March and FP have had most of them

I just checked Diamond's retailer listings and there doesn't seem to be anything saying online-only. And come to think of it, they appear in Previews, which any comic shop can order from.

A slightly odd sighting in Hamleys, as I didn't think they'd been released in the UK - the Micromaster Battle Squad at £11. No other ones there so looked like a solid case.
