Toy Spotting / Shopping Thread!

Edit: Where any online or specialty retailers are mentioned in this thread,
the onus is on the buyer to determine how fair their pricing and customer service is.

That said, i've found the two UK based sites below to be pretty reliable.

You can shave a little off postage cost by using Parcel Motel, their prices are generally at least comparative with local sources, and there's no customs grief because they're in the EU (for the moment anyway)

www.Tfs-express.com

www.kapowtoys.co.uk

Note: Images will be removed 2 months after they're posted. This is to reduce clutter/bandwidth.

So with all the new bits coming into stores. It might be handy to start up this thread again.

If the Fat man didn't fill your robot Fix. Then check out Your local Tesco for these sets on post christmas sale.

€30 for the 2 pack.

And the Kero pack is €15.

And Smyths has been getting in parts of RiD lines as well as Combiner wars. Which is great to see.

Trypticon reissue, £78gbp before postage.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TRANSFORMERS-Platinum-Edition-Trypticon-Figure/dp/B014KEWJQY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451226184&sr=8-1&keywords=TRYPTICON

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013SPGIE0/ref=s9_dcbhz_bw_g21_i2_sh
Insecticons for 31.90 gbp too.

constitutionus

both those have gone back up in price but still cheaper than they were to begin with.

trypticons 126.92 stg and the insecticons are 49.99 stg.

by the way for those interested both are "prime" so once its over 25 stg its free postage to ireland.

i mention it because theyre doing age of extinction snarl for 6.50 stg and age of extinction drift for 10.99stg and if ya bought them you'd get hit by the postage costs as even together theyre under it.

im looking at two DVDs for the brother that only come to 20 stg and am thinking of using one of em to push it over the limit.

oh and battle core optimus prime is going for 23.99stg too.

im raging i didnt get the trypticon when it was 78 pound. with the exchange rate recently it was working out as circa 112 euro . still its early in the new year and they might do a "sale" back to that price yet.

Toys R Us have randomly got Generations Double-Dealer in stock and for delivery: http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/transformers-generations-voyager-double-dealer/015295107
And, he's only 12.49 GBP like Roadbuster/Sky-Byte.

Smyths have added listings for CW Wave 4 limbs: http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/action-figures-playsets/c-344/transformers/?page=1&pagesize=12&viewall=False&sort=sortattr_createdate%20desc&fz=False

Given they actually stocked Ultra Magnus, perhaps there's a chance. Where's my white Prime?

In Toys R us at Blanch if anyone's after this Monstrosity

constitutionus

They had prowl mirage and sunstreaker in tallaghts smiths today too .

I reckon battlecore prime is a cert as it'd be a bit mad to have all the limbs and not him .

By the way no comic with em so its not the stuff I've seen goin on amazon . They got more magnus s in too along with a smattering of whirl / rhinoxs for 15 quid ( limbs are 21.99 )

Hmmm, he's gone now. That's a shame. I wouldn't mind getting him at that price.

here mark meant to say thanks for that post.

went over last week and picked him up so now ive got a complete optimus maximus.

someone was trying to hide the fecker though as there was none obviously on display and ya had to go rooting behind a hotspot to find the two of em that was left.

oh and trypticons back up on sale for £99.99 on amazon which is about €133 or so. its another prime one so free post to ireland.

just had a walk through tallaghts smyths today and all the limbs for OM are gone now. only a load of dragstrips left.

still a few mangus's though for those interested.

ChopShop

Masterpiece Sunstorm supposedly down to 30.00 GBP on TRU UK.

Kinda gaudy... but how often are you gonna get a Masterpiece that cheap these days?

(Argos Skywarp was 6 years ago)

chopperbyrne

Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is in Smyths Tallaght for €63 (I think?).

Was very tempted.

MarkHall

He's a great figure. Be more than tempted. And get him.

I actually think he looks nice in person, as a jet at least. There's not too many legit yellow Masterpieces.

No retail sighting yet, but CW Onslaught appeared on Smyths website.

Think he and Scattershot were seen *somewhere* at UK retail recently...

And a solitary CW Prowl and Battle Core Optimus in Smyths Jervis St this morning.

Arquinsiel

Anyone happen to see a lone Streetwise shelfwarming anywhere? I decided I totally need him after months of not caring when I noticed Prowl in Smyth's Swords just before Christmas.

Easons in town?

Or are they all out?

Arquinsiel

They were down to just Legends class last I was in, and while they were actually the cheapest I've seen them since 2014 the Deluxes when they were available were pricier than anywhere else. Argos might have some lurking around, but they're asking 30+ for them.

ChopShop

Masterforce had a few listed for 12gbp.

With Sterling a little weaker at the moment, and if you ask them to post it without the packaging, you might get closer to local price?

went by smyths in tallaght yesterday and theyve got the white optimus in.

still no sign of any limbs though beyond dragstrip.

they seem to be doing a major upgrade or something as half the shelves are emty and the TFs have been moved to an aisle as opposed to the end of one near the DVDs where they were.

oh and that trypticons gone back up to £131 on amazon.

have no idea why he's bouncing up and down on the cost stakes as it seem to be the same sellers putting him up so if ya still didnt get him i bet its just the wait of a month or two to see him back below £99.

They may never materialise, but am kinda surprised it even got this far.

Not sure I want to go for repaint limbs. since i have most of them several times now.
But I may get Brawl and Onslaught as I quite like the look of them.

And Onslaught has a dance partner on the shelves
