I can see that conversation went "Okay, we'll have them, but definitely not another sodding Bumblebee".
I was looking around for the Beast Hunters Commander Bludgeon/Magnus figures. Home Bargains are sold out. Perhaps TRU will get some, but it seems an odd time for them to be adding new Beast Hunters figures now.

Takara hits out at the G1 Dinobots craze with a glorius G1 coloured 'Lost Age' Slag. Also, from the expo, some clear Microns. I didn't get my usual mail from BBTS offering these to me which makes me think Slag sold out rapidly. I did however manage to pre-order all but one of the Microns (two of which were sub-standard and then showed as sold out). www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/list.aspx?list=15805

Damn! My interwebs are so slow at work that I didn't have the patience to check any other threads and just took a best guess as to where it might have gotten posted. I apologise for the duplication.
Also of note, BBTS have Swamper in now... (I hope that isn't noted elsewhere).

Argos & Entertainer have all the news toy up.
One thing i'm not keen on is the whole auto transform stuff with the price point. If you have auto transform toys they shouldn't be more than £5.99 - but the first 2 lines are £10 & £13. Most people might just get the Legends at £6 which you transform yourself.

Also is the Hasbro website safe? Not looked at it since that virus stuff & nothing been posted since.

Note that the Legends on Argos and the Entertainer are the Dollar store Universe Legends and not a Movie line. When these showed in the US they didn't have the weapons that Op & Starscream are shown with.

A search for Gimlock (note spelling) on the TRU website reveals a MP Grimlock for a penny short of a Ton and the Grimlock Now and Then for £40.

BBTS have rolled out two lines of AoE pre-orders ( Hasbro and Takara). By the time I'd read the e-mail, half of the Takara stuff had sold out already. I was actually starting to get a bit enthusiastic but that's a bit of a blow...

HLJ sold out of most of the Takara preorders a while back, but Robot Kingdom still had them open last week (I ordered BBBB and Scorn) and they're quite reliable in my experience.

I was tempted, but can't justify spending money on toys just now. If they were cheap yes, but they came to £25 odds with shipping and import tax.
They came to £12.70 individually.

They ended up in my PoL a few weeks ago. I'm just waiting for a few goodies this month until I ship it. Gotta say though, my enthusiasm has waned somewhat since the superlative Trashtalk arrived.

You NEED these. Forget the BB and Prime we got last year these are so so much better

They're bought Amazon is wrapping them now. My bank account is sulking. I have been more excited about these ones than I was the Scoop deluxe wave, which I still haven't bought. An easy Amazon purchase is a no brainer, I really didn't think I'd see them on there.

Home Bargains have the elusive BH 2014 Commanders back in stock on their website if anyone missed them the first time round like I did (Unicron Megs, Magnus & Bludgeon).

Good gravy. I was unaware that Bludgeon existed. Looks fabulous.

'Then and Now' Strafe & Slug are available on TRU.co.uk for delivery or click and collect. Given the bogof at the moment I might have a sniff at that. Two deluxes with mini pals £11.25 each? no guarantee of whether these twin pack versions will be around by the time we reach clearance time.

Too expensive, but at least it s coming out over here. If its ever half price I'll probably get.
