I think you're right about Shockwave. I'm surprised Sharkticon Megatron is down as released too, I never saw one of those here. Mine was a cheapo Amazon.com import.

Meanwhile I've been working on updating the RiD list - I think we're there now. Excellent stuff. I'd like to see a Deployer Overload in the wild, he's a cool character. 3-Step Wave 6 is definitely out here. I have the 'hoof and have seen the Blizzard Drift. Came from Tesco. |

Here's Burns finding one in Tescos tmukhub.proboards.com/post/166965/threadThat's part of the reason I link to first sightings now |

Saw one this very morning in ASDA, who I think are the only people to have had them. £20. Lmk if you want me to go back and grab one |

Ah! right. Asda is a rare visit for me. It does seem as though with this line specific shops are getting specific waves in some cases. I will have to go and have a look, I'd like to see one before spending out because the Deployers aren't that good, but the prospect of having Drift and Overload flinging minicons at each other is very tempting.

From what I can see Titans Return seems to be doing good business except for the Legends. I suspect this'll mean we'll get stiffed on a Legends Wave somewhere, cos Hasbro UK.
Thing is I see Wave 2 as being retail poison: Three similarly coloured toys, all repaints, two of which don't have robot modes and the one with a robot mode is packed shorter than the others (2 Rumble vs 3 Ravage & 3 Laserbeak) and is also the one in demand because it doesn't have a better looking Japanese repaint (yet).
As it is the Legends is the only size class not to reach Wave 2 on UK shelves (because Wave 1 has sat?) I can see a scenario where Wave 2 arrives late, because of Wave 1 sitting, and Wave 3 (BB, Sharkticon & Kickback, absolute gold, three new moulds) DOESN'T come out here.
I think if it came to a choice I'd rather we DIDN'T get Wave 2 than Wave 3.

TR distribution is quite poor in Edinburger. It's only sold in the outskirts where the toy shops and the giant Walmart Superstore is. I travel quite widely across the city for work purposes and of course check on toys on my breaks and I haven't seen it anywhere else at all.

I've only seen a handful in Manchester as well. Either it is selling out blindingly well or there has been very poor stocking.
TR shelf space is however refilled regularly with many times the number of figures but of CW instead - but now at TR inflated prices.

Titans Return Astrotrain and Alpha Trion are in the Smyths toy shop at Glasgow Fort - most likely been mentioned elsewhere (if so, apologies).

Outside of importers, yes.
But before today the limbs had only been seen briefly

GUESS HOW MUCH is a new store I have not heard of. Imagine what it's like answering the phones there though.

ghmstores.co.uk/store-locator/Not many of them. But if that wave is in the grey import supply chain we'll see them elsewhere. What with Sky Lynx, Blackout and others at TK Maxx this is shaping up to be quite a decent silly season.

Theres 5 stores so I doubt they'll have been able to snap up all the stock. Will have to start checking all the usual shops.

I think I see where it is in Doncaster. Next moved down to a bigger shop leaving their old shop & shoe shop empty - which is where GHM have moved in.

Zero chance of it appearing in the Edinburger TRU though. That store never stocks TRU exclusives!!!
