Smyths

[Llama God]

With the amount of money they presumably lost due to forced closures (and will potentially lose again for similar) I don’t see the vouchers happening this year, unfortunately. Unless the chancellor comes up with some other half-baked idea to get the economy going again... A shame, because I don’t really want to pay full price for the W*NC figures. Ah well, I’ll just have to go without, or not be tight...

Still, Scorponok’s in? That’s exciting. Just as well I didn’t pre-order mine and then delay it by mixing it with an additional pre-order, meaning I could have just popped to Smyths and grabbed one... *sigh*

[The Doctor]

If it helps, I got mine straight away but it's had to stay in the box until I move and unpack so I won't get hands on with it until some time in September.

I take some small pleasure from your suffering, yes. Thank you.

I suppose it depends on how badly they need to get people back in to the stores. Or how badly they want to build up some cash reserves before a second lockdown.

[The Huff]

Couldn't Smyths have stayed open during the lockdown, as they sell bikes?

I know Toys R Us would have played that card if they were still around.

[Bogatan]

They could have tried but one of the sports shops tried that argument and was still made to close.

Smyths have Spoiler Leader 2 available for pre order

Who else is brave enough?

[Llama God]

When you say "who else", I assume that means that at least one person has pre-ordered it? And that that one person is you?

[Philip Ayres]

Not saying nothing in case I look stupid later

[Slack]

I'm brave/stupid enough.
I only have 4 different Siege/ER Megatrons and 2 different Shockwaves. ER and Siege Astrotrains (Identical of course). Why not add another pointless redeco/remould with battlemaster and a piece of crappy plastic in playdough says I?

[Benn]

You know what, I might be tempted. After the hilaribad last one, if I spend no money between now and it coming out I could get in on the ground floor of this

[The Doctor]

I am tempted.

-Ralph

[The Doctor]

Ah, so Smyths don't charge on a pre-order until it is in stock?

Then...I'M IN!!!!

And if it is revealed before then and isn't something I want then can cancel without losing pennies.

As the Hub trailblazer on the last Spoiler box, I had...no choice!

-Ralph

[Andy Turnbull]

How do you feel about that now brave traveller?

[The Doctor]

Hmmm. Thinking about cancelling.

My local Smyths apparently has a healthy supply of Snapdragons and Smokescreens - but I’m still waiting on Arcee for my Kapow order to ship, so I must hold out. Agh.

[Kingoji]

Are we just waiting on Alicon from that wave now?

I think it’s Alicon, Arcee and Airwave. Smokescreen seems to be the only deluxe who’s shown up so far.

[Kingoji]

Ah, I thought these were split over two waves. My bad.

[Slack]

Smyths have updated the Soundwave and Optimus Prime sets to have an in stock date of 01 to 08 December
Are we going to see significant overlap with Kingdom?

Great Scott! It’s Gigawatt, and you can pre-order him right the heck now

They’ve plonked Impactor from the Netflix line on too, alongside Shockwave and Scavenger from studio series:

Also re. the Netflix voyagers saying December - I recall when Soundwave came out in Smyths the date specified on the site was like, a month or two later, so there’s still a chance they might pop up alongside the deluxes.

[Andy Turnbull]

Quintesson Judge incoming and an Allicon as well.

[Llama God]

Well the Smyths at Glasgow Fort only had Alicon from all that yesterday. But I'll be checking back for Arcee later in the week. Even though she's probably pants. But never mind.

[Syndication]

My local Smyths apparently has their full shipment of Snapdragon still in stock, and 7 Allicons. Only 3 Smokescreens left though. Agonising over whether to buy one as insurance just in case something goes down with my online order, but I find that highly unlikely so they shall stay on the shelves.
