saw me first pair of alpha trions in smyths in tallaght today so if he's not on the shelves of the other ones he should be soon.
EDIT.
Smyths in fonthill have a good few astrotrains in . i was gonna pick up an alpha trion there but the fecker is at the top of the shelf (waaaay waaaaay up) and i couldnt be arsed looking for someone to get a ladder to get him down.
prob get him in town during the weekend.0 -

im raging i missed that.
forgot all about kapow toys.
theyve still got the HK convention exclusive in stock for €170 inc postage (theyre calling it the ACG fort max) . the only diff between that and the SDCC one is a different box cover.
im sorely tempted to get that. theyre latest tweet on the home page says theyre extending the sale till next friday but the link attached to it isnt working so i dont know if ya can take that as read
aaargh , just when i was decided on the G1 reissue ! 0 -

bit the bullet and bought the ACG fort max off kapow toys. got him for €177 inc postage.
course now the SDCC ones back in going for €138 (less postage be circa 156 inc) !
just to give a heads up the brits have put a timescale on brexit which IMO will hit the stg exchange rate . so tomorrow should be a good time to get that SDCC one for those of us in the eurozone interested .
so ya might get it cheaper again if youve been holding out. 0 -

Sterling is at a new low, and the ACG version is back to 125 GBP: https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers-titans-return-sdcc-fortress-maximus-3653.html
There's some dirt cheap MPs right now: RoadRage/Tracks for 30GBP, Lambor for 35, Bluestreak for 38 and Delta Magnus for 105.0 -
bit of nice news for those interested
theres been a bit of a panic in the US and Canada in relation to the titans return line in that hasbros sold out of em and are saying the dont have any more to issue to retailers so whats out there is what were gonna get and the likelyhood of a clearance sale is small to none.
so it was nice when i dropped into smyths in jervis street today and seen that they have titans returns fig on sale for 33% off.
i can only presume its cause were gonna get the wave 2 + stuff soon and they wanna clear shelves.
either way were getting powermaster prime, soudwave, and blaster for 46 euro odd. with the wave 1 deluxes going for 16.99 a piece.
only one of them i didnt get was scourge so i might pick him up tomorrow as thats an alright price.
EDIT.
Oh and i meant to say they got a few combiner wars voyager sin . scattershot and onslaught. mustve been sitting in a warehouse somewhere.0 -

Wave 2 + as in beyond Wave 2? Or just Wave 2? Cause Soundwave, Alpha Trion and Astrotrain *are* wave 2, far as i know?
Yes, Wave 2 DXs seem to be a myth in this county, but i think even in the UK the distrib on them was spotty.0 -

havent seen ANY of the wave two deluxes on the shelves myself. hell i havent seen wave one legends
so if the sales to shift stock i can only presume tis to get wave 3 or so with a faint hope of wave 2 deluxes.
I did impulse buy Wheelie in a larger Tesco a few weeks ago, only place i've seen any myself.
And first mass release TF i've bought since Combiner Wars Megatron.
Ironwill and Cupola are just too good for me to go back to Hasbro's Headmaster offerings 0 -

just chromedome and highbrow and only one of each.
i presume the rest will follow soon.
EDIT.
ooh and theyre going for the 16.99 reduced price for those interested.
Not necessarily.
There's a revision case doing the rounds in the UK which only has half the wave 2 Deluxes..
..but right now i can't remember if it's Weirdwolf and Mindwipe who are removed from it.
Edit: Yes, there is a revision case that removes Weirdwolf and Mindwipe.0 -
ah feck.
i really wanted to pick up a weirdwolf.
managed to pick up a highbrow in smythes in tallaght - same deal on the 16.99 price tag- but that case does seem to be thin on the ground. the wave 2 deluxes have hit the shelves big time in the states and canada according to seibertron.com so maybe we'll luck out and a few may end up our way.
bit like what happed with the whril/roadbuster/springer/ etc that showed up well after we thought they'd gone.
EDIT.
Got a chromdome today in smyths on fonthill road. theyve got a fair few of him and highbrow left. still the same cheap price. 0 -

Smyths in town had a few Mindwipes last i looked, but Weirdw... Wolfw... Yellowbackwardstalking guy.
And wouldn't you know it, soon as i buy Mindwipe to tide me over until a Masterpieceish one comes around, Fanstoys announce they are making one.0 -
yeah dropped into jervis st yesterday. plenty of the lad so i presume its only a matter of time before he's well stocked everywhere.
full line up of both waves are to be had now thank god.they'd loads of wolfwires in tallaght .
i see twinferno and getaway are up on amazon.co.uk too so its only a matter of time before they hit.
im REALLY hoping that mindwipe gets retooled into swoop. its just sooooo close as its cant be a coincidence.
i'd put money on twinferno being retooled into a deluxe fangry too. its practically him bar the dragon heads as it is.
man this line has me buzzing.
triggerhappy is my next "must have". 0 -

smyths.ie has voyager megs and prime up on their website so that means like with ultra magnus its only a matter of time before they show up on the shelves.
http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-344/transformers/?pageSize=12&page=3
i know he's a retool of the blitzwing to come but i actually prefer the look of this megs over the leader class one we got with combiner wars. ok the cannons a bit naff but i can live with it.0 -

sometime between feb and march by the looks of things , with the movie stuff to start turning up in april.
Do i misunderstand, or are you speculating Generations Trypticon will be released in Feb-March?
Titan Glass Generation figures tend to show up summer at the earliest.
if Trypticon was releasing anywhere in the next two months, we'd have seen full images by now surely.
i'm not 100% Hasbro UK found a retailer yet... TRU exclusive still seems the least unlikely.0 -

Mr. Price in Blanch had a few Transformers on the shelves.
Powerdive jet looks sweet. Not pushed enough on the robot to pick him up.
NO G2 Megatron on the shelves thou.
On the RID side they had Sideswipe and Prime.
Solid figures for the younger kids in your life.0 -

bit of a weird one here.
i was messing about on the "smyths" website to check stuff out and sure enough the entire wave 3 deluxes for titans return are up on it which means we should be getting the lads on the shelves soon.
but i spotted THIS also
http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-344/transformers/p-22316/transformers-generations-combiner-wars-computron-collection-pack/
i havent seen ANY of those packs instores here.
thought it was worth noting anyway should they turn up. 0 -

Second time they popped up. But they wouldnt process orders the frist time around. Not a bad price for the set. But I had to go with them Japanese release. Cause that nosecone leaves me Cold.0 -
