Smyths

[Philip Ayres]

Smyths website is a tiny bit ****ed this morning, thanks presumably to people trying to buy the new X-Box

[The Doctor]

No, it will be you trying to buy all the Airwaves!!!

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

Website working again now

They still have Airwaves, everything's fine, Phil hasn't bought them all

[The Doctor]

Except for the ones you no doubt just bought!!!

-Ralph

[Benn]

It's out of stock here! Phil has taken the Midlands Airwaves!

[Philip Ayres]

Phil is locked in a house in SW London with no car. How have my Airwave purchases removed them from your local store?

[The Huff]

Popped into my Smyths today after a swim to have a look to see if any W2 deluxes had turned up. Nothing on the shelves, but as I was looking through, two very helpful employee ladies came straight over and asked if I was looking for 'the pink one' as it hadn't been put out yet and they would get me one.
I couldn't refuse an offer like that so now have ER Arcee and she is fab.
(I must just have that sad old Transformer collector look).

Smyths website no longer has expected dates for Earthrise Wave 3 or Netflix deluxe wave 2. Hopefully it won’t be long before a revised date comes up.

[Benn]

I'm not getting Bumblebee, am I? Now that lockdowns are back and I've never worked out Smyths online system.

[The Doctor]

I imagine there'll be plenty of them shelfwarming next year.

Elita-1, Wheeljack, and 1 Bumblebee have appeared on the Smyths website. Only a few and in select stores so far. Closest one to me is Liverpool Speke so I'll be waiting.

[Benn]

Leeds Birstall for me.

[Philip Ayres]

They're the 2 per case toys. So prob 1/2 cases per store and the 1 per case toys gone/too low in stock to be listed

[duffism1981]

I may find out for definate tonight, but based on the stores that had stock showing last night such as Glasgow, Falkirk and Stockton on Tees, I believe the Netflix deluxe breakdown to be:

2x Bumblebee
2x Wheeljack
2x Elita
1x Red Alert
1x Impactor

This is due to stores only showing Bumblebee, Wheeljack and Elita as being instock quality of 1, and no where showing Red or Impactor as being instock says to me that they are the single bots in the case.

As I have mentioned in the past if only one item is instore, it will show up as out of stock on the website, one showing online means there "should" be two instore etc.

Oh some stores received Fast Track yesterday, as well, so with deliveries starting to become daily the rest of the Earthrise wave of Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker and Runamuck are estiamted to be in by the 18th.

[Philip Ayres]

That's correct, we've had the case assortment numbers for a while....

Holy crap, I actually got a bumblebee. Seems like places are still getting him in (which, having worked in Smyths, we did tend to fill shelves quite late on)

[Syndication]

Update on my Bumblebee quest - Smyths cancelled my flipping order! So that’s no fun.

[Slack]

That's very frustrating. I have an Elita and Wheeljack ordered for click and collect today but we shall see if it transpires

[Syndication]

Ended up getting one from a Liverpool Smyths. Phew.

[Llama God]

I will be jumping on the bike and hitting up my local Smyths today, whilst we can still use shops here.

[Benn]

I hate that I have to rely on the Smyths webstore. I've never been able to buy anything from them.

[Slack]

Picked up Elita and Wheeljack, it's a shame knowing that there are one of each of the others in the shop but no way to buy them in England

[tomwe]

How is it this is the one time there are not a million Bumblebees!

I don't even bother trying their website anymore. Too many times they've had stuff due in that never goes in stock online.

Weird. My Smyth's has six Fastracks but none of the others. I also note the quint judge is down to 19.99, so I might partake.

[Llama God]

Cycled all the way over to the Glasgow Fort to find... no Netflix figures at all. Well, no new ones, anyway. Losing hope quite early on that I'll ever get a hold of any of these - given that Colin managed to grab a couple I think they've been and gone instantly. We can always hope for restocks, but...

Still, at least I got some much-needed exercise. *dies in the corner*

[Pinwig]

I don't think so. These are still on the website as being due December - there's no way if this line is a Smyths exclusive that they'll have sold out virtually before the stock got into the shops. We've seen this before with Smyths, an initial case or two to each shop, then in the next few weeks the shelves will be full of them.

Not that down here we can actually see the shelves.

[Llama God]

We'll not be able to see them up here come next week, either, most like.

[Slack]

2 Red alerts are in Liverpool Speke Smyths right now

[R0B0_G0D]

Folks. Wave 3 seems to have finally arrived at Smyths (was in at the weekend, only saw 1 Fasttrack, who promptly disappeared *cough*)

Have ordered Runamuck and Trailbreaker for Home Delivery (Free post, eh?). Most stores showing healthy stock, including local Glasgow.

Still not sold on Sunstreaker. Need to see him Live as I've heard photos are the culprits making him look weird. Maybe plan a trip when it's quiet so I don't have to queue this time.
