As far as the Smyths Netflix listings, it looks like Nemesis Prime is the only one with a pre-order option at the moment, the others are showing up as not available for home delivery or click and collect.

If I hadn't picked up some earthrise retail stuff at retail I'd have been tempted on the Prime seeing as I dont have a Prime for my movie figures yet. Always good when an exclusive is cheaper or same price as retail versions. Colors nice on it and it wouldn't be that hard to scar the torso (with parental supervision). I really miss the bullet holes/cracked glass stickers that came with Exosquad Eframes.

wanted to order them, gigawatt is the only one available for now, unfortunately they expect a uk phone number! how annoying.

Kapows restocked the selects spy patrol Unit if any one is needing to 'complete' their double dealers at £30

Is it just me or does it feel like we are getting scalped before they even hit the secondary market? Previous pirce £25 at ID

And they're sold out again.

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2080360)
Posted by blackeyedprime on September 16th, 2020 @ 8:19am CDT

I'm sure it will be restocked and supply and demand will make it £35 or more

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2080364)

If anyone missed out on shattered glass prime and ratchet preorders Zavvi for £50 and Staraction figures £52 plus postage.

Staraction also has ER megs and Airwave, Arcee so maybe we will be seeing the rest of wave 2 deluxes/wave 3 voyagers in stores soon.

Allicon showing as available in a select few Smytha stores so it's just a matter of waiting on their deliveries.

SS Cliffjumper showing as available in lots of stores and in fairly decent amounts if states/Canada only got him 1 per case.

If anyones going full in on Kingdoms beastwars and missed out on Potp Optimal, £32 at ID (I'd still recommend the original figure over the POTP but hey)

https://www.indemandtoys.co.uk/product/ ... l-optimus/

plus SS rampage at a more WFC pricing of £22

To add to that, all of wave 2 Earthrise should now be available in stores. My store's delivery today has included Arcee, Airwave, Allicon and the Quintesson Judge

Indemamd on Facebook. Pulse con new reveals up for preorder at 10pm on Fri 25th, sat 26th.
Monday 12pm on the 28th (mistakenly noted as 29th in their post) all exclusives up for ordering. Quintesson pit is going to be expensive due to customs and not being offered through UK distribution.

Serious question... Who has the money to buy retail figures when so many exclusives are hitting the fan.

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2081343)
Posted by blackeyedprime on September 24th, 2020 @ 7:08am CDT

Bluestreaks available for pre order on amazon

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2081865)
Posted by CyclonusG1 on September 27th, 2020 @ 5:39am CDT

So, Smyths has the wave 1 kingdom stuff on our system. I can also confirm that the prices have increased.

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2081891)
Posted by ZeroWolf on September 27th, 2020 @ 7:37am CDT

No Core Class? Also may I news this? All the sellers so far have brrn American (i know indemandtoys have their preorders so ill news them as well)

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2081897)
Posted by CyclonusG1 on September 27th, 2020 @ 8:45am CDT

Yeah, Smyths don't get the smaller figures unfortunately (been a pain getting the micromasters because of that). But yeah, go ahead and news it. They aren't currently on the website and as with most transformers releases, they're unlikely to go on preorder

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2081995)
Posted by blackeyedprime on September 28th, 2020 @ 6:34am CDT

Indemands websites a bit on the wonk with everyone rushing to see the exclusives that were going to be listed at 12pm. Quint pit of judgement £90 due to being imported and ID paying all the customs upfront etc.

https://www.indemandtoys.co.uk/product/ ... ort-stock/

Honestly even at a lower price I'd be struggling to justify it (voyager plus deluxe, plus legends nd extras) but hey for those that want it, at least it is available.

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2082325)
Posted by Collectorbot on September 30th, 2020 @ 3:27am CDT

Agreed - As much as I'd have liked to get hold of the Quint Pit box, i can't justify paying that price, especially as I have the Earthrise judge and Allicon already. Glad it was available for collectors though.

Might be old news but Forbidden Planet has the Walmart reissue Astrotrain in at £45

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2082451)
Posted by blackeyedprime on October 1st, 2020 @ 11:02am CDT

Dunno what happened to Smyths back to the future gigawatt but ID £32 and Kapow £30 both have him listed for preorders and cheaper than the £35 Smyths had it online for.

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2082489)
Posted by CyclonusG1 on October 1st, 2020 @ 4:56pm CDT

Smyths now has Gigawatt back up for preorder at 32.99, they opened their preorders really early for some reason and then blocked it (possibly they weren't meant to be available until today).

Also, if anyone is interested, Forbidden Planet has the shattered glass OP and Ratchet set available for preorder: https://forbiddenplanet.com/309862-tran ... e-ratchet/
Which is about the only place with it still available though it is at forbidden planet prices (54.99 + 5.50 shipping) so I'd recommend ordering it with a bunch of other stuff as 5.50 is the max they charge for shipping on one order, even if things release half a year apart. They'll still send them out at separate times for the same price.

Over on Kapow Toys' Facebook page, they've shared a relatively low res image of the new masterpiece Starscream now in colour! It looks alright.

So, Smyths now has listings for the first Kingdom wave on their website and, in an unusual twist for them, they're taking preorders on all size classes.
Here's a link to the search page that lists the Kingdom figures: https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/sea ... rs+Kingdom

Yep, turned up in a box big enough to fit two people. His box was damaged (prior to packing as no damage to outside box) but all good with their price that kept dropping and a £5 discount voucher at the time.

Sadly Skylynx is holding its price unlike the £45 jetfires

Good to hear! Amazon are being a bit weird with the pricing at the moment, some of their earthrise stuff and ghostbusters reissues are priced way above normal RRP.

On another site some ones spotted singe and rung £6 each at the Entertainer. Sadly just prime masters of yester years at the Leeds shop.

Excellent, any idea roughly based on when similar listings have appeared

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2083873)

Currently we just have these 3 but I imagine we will have the others appear either tomorrow or Friday. We don't even have prices yet, they're all listed as £0.00

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2083889)

Interested to see the actual release window for these :-?

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2083891)
Posted by CyclonusG1 on October 14th, 2020 @ 4:16pm CDT

Same. I don't buy the studio series line but I want to get every one of these. I personally reckon that it'll probably be around 5th of December just simply because that's the day the movie came out but if not, I'm really hoping next year because I have enough to buy this year without more transformers that I don't really have space for

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2083897)
Posted by blackeyedprime on October 14th, 2020 @ 4:54pm CDT

Hopefully I'll have a job by the time these get released or Smyths charges 0.00p for them. Optimism at its finest

Headmasters four pack at £80 plus postage at star action figure -brainstorm (the one I need), chromedome, hardhead and...mindwipe. Odd mix should be the four main autobots or two of each faction but hey.

SS Devy £370 at Indemand

Edit: runabouts £25 at Zavvi. Sold out at £22 at staraction figures.

No sign of Thrust yet.

Scourge, Hotrod have been added to Smyths system with prices now. £32.99/voyager, £20.99/deluxe. No Grimlock yet but I'll keep checking

Just the studio series voyagers at £30 (which is now £31 at Smyths) prior to the new price increase, and now its studio series pricing plus a little extra on top for WFC Studio series... weird thing is with studio series it might have been justifiable for licenced vehicles etc except that SS Blitzwing wasnt licenced and netflix licensed Bee is now going to be £2 cheaper at £20 than a £22 SS deluxe.

So Smyths will have Kingdom Voyager Cyclonus at £25 (though its £24 other places) and SS Scourge is £8 more for the pleasure of a cardboard backdrop. Partly why I'm sticking with TR Scourge despite how nice the new toy is -which also means I have little need for Kingdom Cyclonus as he isnt going to scale with Scourges I have or CW height Ultra Magnus. People were accepting of almost deluxes with bits at leader class price so maybe deluxe Hotrod and bits will be a bargain at £33 XD

Only 1 instock so be quick if you want it. Preowned TR Perceptor £16 at Indemand

They have some more preowned stock in but the prices seem high to me though I'm not that clued up on prices for preowned.

Some listings from a company I probably can't name due to most of these being unannounced but you all know where they're from anyway. Good new for those of you wanting the core figures

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2085446)
Posted by ZeroWolf on October 28th, 2020 @ 9:29am CDT

Excellent...it pleases me that the core figures are getting a UK retail release

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2085622)
Posted by blackeyedprime on October 30th, 2020 @ 5:23am CDT

Amazon early black friday deals...

WFC Astrotrain £45

and because so many bought a deluxe sized figure at leader price, they thought they would one up it...

WFC Snapdragon Voyager £46

seriously, Amazon is really bad on pricing.

Forbidden Planet (postage costs are pretty high)

WFC Skylynx on sale at £60

Retro Headmasters can be bought individually £22 each

Re: UK News Bonanza - Deals and Preorders (2085635)
Posted by eltawater on October 30th, 2020 @ 8:57am CDT

Talk about price gouging, that Snapdragon has been at around £23 on Amazon for months!
