STrolled into Smyths in Dublin Centre today and they had Battle Ravage, The Energon Sabre,Skyblast Magnus and Tidawave.

Pricing was 11.99, and 37.99 respectively.

Stock on all five looked pretty extensive BTW: Price will no doubt come down when the new Argos catalogue hits, just like it has done the last few

Good news. Maybe Smyths Belfast wil get some in soon then

Groovy. I'll be home in Dublin next weekend.

Dublin:

Smyths now have Rapid Run, Inferno and Hot Shot 14.99 each.
Hot Shot is slightly short in supply other two are abundant.

Plenty of Ultra Magnus left, Tidal Wave a little short now.


No Ironhide and Treadbolt yet. Nor Unicron.


Banba are still trying to push Armada stock. with no sign of Energon anytime soon.

11.99 there ownly 6.99 in the uk for basics

Rember thats Euros, not GBP.

11.99 Euros is about 7.99 GBP.

Smyths as usual have E. Unicron first: 74.99 Saw it in the Jervis St Branch, sitting on the bottom shelf with Armada Unicron. There were 3 there, didn't see any others stored on upper shelves.


Still no Ironhide or Treadbolt


Edited to add: I wish the moderators would stop joining my seperate posts into one thread.

we just got iron hide in the england i passes the head thing is a real put off

Thats just too keep the place tidy. We only really need 1 thread for Ireland sightings. After al, I've only seen about two other Ireland based TransFans here.

Including me! Glad to see Energon stuff in Smyths.

Walked into Banba in Jervis St today, and found them putting Energon stuff out. Including Treadbolt and Ironhide. (30.00 Euros each)

That's the entire first wave accounted for.

Hopefully, with Action Man doing poorly now, (allegedly) Hasbro will have the next wave on the shelves soon.


Edited cause I got Treadbolt mixed with Treadshot.

just great, I move back to Boston and then they decide to stock the toys I want in Smyths in Dublin.

Arogs trip was a bit of a let down, no Omega, No Megatron, they have small supplies of Optimus and Unicron.

Pricing: Unicron /Omega 69.99
Prime/Megatron 53.99
Tidal Wave (no mention of an assortment or magnus) 34.99


If anyone manages to pick up Megatron and Omega at an Irish Argos, please let me know. Im not convinced they're released at all yet.


Optimus is the 'no mouth' version BTW

Minor Note:


The new Tesco Extra in Clarehall has Powerlinx Optimus for a measly €19.99.


They had some minicons on clearence, but the price wasn't marked, and I wasn't too bothered.

Picked up E Megatron in Banba Toymaster Today. Odd thing is the box is American. My previous attempts to get him from Argos have failed. They may or may not have him in stock by now.

Smyths have Omega Supreme. (69.99) Banba have wave 2 deluxes and Basics. (12.00 and 10.00 respectively)

Smyths are running a buy two, get the cheaper half price. Promo applies to most, if not all Energon stock including Omega.

Toymaster on Henry Street have Alt. Silverstreak! I thought only Argos were selling him??
I think he was €25.

Argos are selling it for 30.00 Omega Supreme has disappeared. Wave 2 basics and deluxes haven't been restocked in a week or so.

Hopefully new stock soon.

For some reason, most of the Ireland sightings have ended up in UK thread...

Anyway, Tesco in The Square in Tallaght (Dublin) are selling Ironhide and Treadbolt for €7.49 each!

Oh, they also have Slugslinger, Energon Hot Shot and Sharkticon!

Toymaster in Dublin (Henry Street) have:

Alternator Silverstreak €24.99
Alternator Swindle €30.00
Armada Thrust €10
Armada Sideswipe €10

Smyths in Tallaght are doing "Buy one get one Half Price" on Armada and Energon toys (although they don't actually sell any Armada toys...)

They have A3 and A4 (Energon Superion Combiner limbs).

The discount didn't come up when moody girl scanned them in and she denied the offer existed so I made her go and check.  Just a heads-up.

Forbidden Planet in Dublin have BT Wheeljack. I think it's the usual price of over €70

New Argos catalogue out yesterday. They have two new Alternators - Swindle and Shockblast (Shockwave).

This thread still exists?
Unicron is down to 30 euros in Smyths.

Byrne's World of Wonder in Liffey Valley have Alt Silverstreak, Windcharger and Swindle.

Also Energon: Shockblast, Omega Supreme, Cruellock, Cliffjumper and some of the Micromaster Protectobots.

They are having a sale some some money off all figures.

Armada Predacon is down to €7

They also have knock-off G1 Arielbots, knock-off over-sized micromaster construction vechicle combiner (Buildtron?) and another pack with over-sized mini-cons.  €10 each. I got the Arielbots - not bad quality but Silverbolt's legs don't click into place so he (and Superion) lean foward and odd angle...

Heaton's in The Square, Tallaght have Energon Prime/Megatron two-pack and Landmine.

Toymaster Henry St. have T-Wrecks and Ultra Jetstorm half price at €15 each.

Nuts! I thought it was just T-Wrecks that was reduced!! I would have gotten Jetstorm but I thought he was still full-price...

Nope, i was pretty pi$$'d when i found out. I bought T-wrecks a couple of weeks ago at full price!
Its funny when you think about it. We've probably seen each other dozens of times on the tf aisle but dont recognise each other...



*edit*
Jetstorm is hidden behind T-wrecks (by me!) so i can come back and buy him at a later date when i have money. so no kids will buy him n' end up breakin' him! But if you get there first he's yours.

Ha! That's true!!

I found that Jetstorm and was glad it was hidden! I probably won't get back to Dublin for about a month so enjoy your Jetstorm!!


Is T-Wrecks worth it? I don't have that mold and couldn't decide whether to get him or not...

T-wrecks is a great figure. Well worth €15 and almost worth €30. Was there more than one hidden Jetstorm?

Nope, there was just the one hidden behind T-Wrecks.

Dangit. Well, im glad you got him. Not some bug-eyed 5 year old who'd probably just eat him...

I haven't gotten him yet! I won't be back in Dublin for a while so you've still got a chance!

Argos are doing a special: 25% off all alternators. They cost €22.49 instead of €30. I picked up Shocky today!

They had two this morning.  They probably have loads more - the guy who owns The Banba chain is a wholesaler as well.

If there are any more Irish Tf fans here stand up and be counted - there's got to be more than 3 of us.

Who knows, could be as many as 5.

I think there is at least 4...
Perhaps an irish tfan call to arms is due?

Does anyone know how much E. Megatron is going for in Touymaster, Dublin? I can see him up on the high shelves but cant see his price because he's stored sideways. I ask because E. Optimus Prime was reduced to €15. If its the same for Megatron I'll have to buy him. But I'm afraid to ask incase he's still €55 and I'd surelook stupid asking for them to haul down a toy I cant even afford 

The Primes were supplied by Hasbro at a discount in the first place.  Megatron is still full price.

Great, we can have a convention.

Who wants to organise the exclusive toy??  1

1 How about a repainted Armada Sideswipe?  Only €75!

I was thinking E.Ironhide repainted as Universe Swindle  1

how about the limited edition "Slightly broken, one armed, stickers half peeled, colour faded, no weapons/armour G1 Jetfire" as an exclusive? Willing to do business at €20 (or best offer)

Probably woth 20 Euros for parts. 

We could picket FP over their pricing. 

If Megatron drops in price would someone be so kind as to PM me? thanks in advance

Was in Toymaster Dublin today. Plenty of Beastwars Jetstorms+E. Aerialbots.(pity i had no money)

Good! I'm gonna get a Jetstorm next time I'm home.

Heatons in The Square, Tallght are selling E Landmine and the Powerlinx  Prime/Megatron two-pack at half-price. Around €19 each.

Pity I'm afraid of Tallaght... I thought the two pack was exclusive to Argos?

Hah! It's not that bad....

Yeah, I thought it was exclusive as well. Maybe it was short-term exclusive contract. Like Alternators.

Landmine is a good deal at 19.00 euros. The Prime/Megatron set is a waste, Megatron has a dodgy colour scheme, and Prime is TINY smaller than all the other deluxe E.Autobots.

Todays word is :  Clearcoat.
