seems like the voyager prime and megs are appearing everywhere, had a look in the toymaster near me and they had both for 20 as well as a metroplex for 40, argos near me has both as well but no jetfire, ravage, the two packs restocked since last week, the legends but no deluxes, shame still need to pick up a rodimus from wave 1, anyone remember how long it took before argos stocked the next waves from cybertron ? with the vain hope of getting an astrotrain or grimlock.

well still no sign of deluxes in my local argos, woolworths are heavily stocked with the wave one guys though, ( picked up a rodimus ) and toymaster near me has restocked the prime and megs, apparently they sold really well according to a girl i know in there. and shock of shocks, the guy that runs the store is a big transformers fan, had the movie playing in the corner of the store above the toys. so hes part of the reason i miss out on things near me, oh and if anyones near bedford then the comic store here has masterpiece starscream as well as the MP-04 trailer set. not great prices though.

That's the good thing about Argos - they accept all returns without reason. I know what you're saying though, they do say "Classic" even though they're still shifting the Cybertron stuff. Best bet (IMO) is to go to Customer Services then you can see what you're getting before parting with the cash...you get to skip the till queues too!

I was there yesterday (Forbidden Planet in Shaftsbury Avenue) & they've only got some overpriced rubbish in there, you can get it all delivered from the internet for cheaper. You won't get a better price on Jetfire than £20 at TRU.

On the map below, meadowhall is indicated by the arrow and the green circle at the bottom is the retail park with TRU on. Head out of the meadowhall ring road at the sainsburys garage (central area) and keep right so that you're not going towards the M1. Go past TGIs on your left and follow the dual carriageway past a mercedes garage on the right and you should come to the retail park on the left.
