The Stealth Force look like fun wee toys, but I think the price-points on them will kill them.
RE: TRU Edinburger. It usually looks in a bit of a state!

I hope they don't and it sends a clear message to Hasbro that we want proper TF Toys.

Stealth Force is a horrible idea for a Transformers line  However if they gave them cockpits and drivers, it would be an AMAZING M.A.S.K line! |

Every time they do it thpo Hasbro UK ends up supporting the crap over the main TF lines. See Generations.

Missing Revenge of The Fallen wave found in Home Bargains! Amongst the common wave reported last week, I was gobsmacked to find a single Dirge. Then I realised that the Mudflap next to it was actually Tuner Mudflap. There were also two Alliance Bumblebees, which we've had in another wave. These weren't there on Saturday. This could be either US Wave 8 or Wave 10, though the packaging is actually Mexican and Brazilian. (Incidentally, the Wave 10 toys appear to be the same as expected for UK Deluxe 2010 Wave 3.) |

Yeah saw them earlier. Didn't know much about this wave. Insecticon is fairly interesting looking.

Surprisingly these have shown up in my Asda in very timely fashion. (Normally it takes weeks for things to reach there). Well, Oilpan seems to be available in large quantities, large enough to swamp the lone Crankstart and the pair of Insecticons (and the only Breacher was hiding at the back of the pack).
They do not seem to be in Asda's computer yet though, as the shelf tag read "Transformers Scout Brimstone" and they didn't go through the till once I had weathered the business of actually being allowed to stand in the queue to pay ("Yes, I only have these three things. No, I do not wish to come down and use the self-service checkouts. Yes, I do wish to remain here at this manned checkout. Be Seeing You.") they had to send someone back to check the price so they could put it through as a generic line item (thus making it a robot in disguise even on my receipt).

Phil toured Swindon this morning:
West Swindon Asda had the new Scout wave in their Sound and Vision store, where the toys had been exiled to. I bought Hubcap but left the rest as they're repaints or are in the case I have on order from BBTS to get me Windcharger.
Sainsburys, Bridgemead, had HFTD Wave 2 dlx and the ovepriced scout boxset
Tesco also had HFTD Wave 2 dlx, HFTD Voyagers and PCC Scout & Minicon Wave 2
Matalan, Greenbridge, had the cheap Animated - finally found a Jazz !

TRU Edinburger had one case of Generations Wave 2 hiding amongst the Star Wars display. The nearby Tesco had Wave 2 PCC 2-packs (£10) and wave 2 HFTD Deluxes (£13).

Sainsburys, Bridgemead, had HFTD Wave 2 dlx and the ovepriced scout boxset Every local Sainsbury's has that scout boxset, if you mean the Universe 2.0 boxset with the three Cybertron scouts, and at least half a dozen of them. I'm sure that set has been available at least a year, possibly eighteen months, but it's never been on sale and never seems to sell any. Odd! |

The Toymaster store in Falkirk, having made its annual move into the larger unit across the shopping centre (they do that every year for the Christmas period and then move back come January) has Jetblade, Ironhide and Bumblebee along with a load of Seaspry's, Night ops Ratchets and Heavy Loads. They also have the obligatory Wave 1 PCC five packs and the first Stealth Force Speed Stars toys I have seen on shelves in actual stores.

Thanks for the heads up, bud. Highly considering Axor, even if I get hold of Lockdown.
BTW. Insecticon looks awesome! Most charasmatic looking Scout figure since Ejector. Oil Pan I'd also love to own since it seems like the boat of Breakdown has since set sail into the distance.

Rallybots/Double Clutch PCC set in Toys Galore, £20.
Generations Wave 1 in Jenners Edinburger, £10.
Meanwhile, Generations Wave 2 now has 3 pegs in TRU Edinburger. I only saw Wave 1 once in there hiding on the 1 peg so looks like they have got in more of the second wave which is nice to see.
