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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Listed for January arrival.
Netflix wave 2 seems to have been delayed as the deluxes haveno date anymore and the voyagers are listed for the first week of December
(don't worry about if we're still in lockdown, so long as the government allow it we'll be operating click and collect & home delivery)
