I got mine for under a tenner from Tesco!!

It scanned as full price, but I pointed out that they were on the same shelf as the half price Voyagers and they reduced it for me! (There was no price ticket specifically for the sets.)

Also:
Onslaught: £14.50 delivered.(Super saver delivery option)

Yeah! Some positive news on the TF front! My local Tesco is now stocking Universe Deluxes, Robot Heroes and Animated Activators. Also Cambridge Forbidden Planet has a multitude of Henkei figures but they weigh in at around £23 each.

We had Acidstorm, Galvatron, Ironhide, Prowl and Silverstreak so it's all 3 waves represented there. Am going to check the other 3 Tesco local(ish) to me in the next couple of days and will let you all know!

[Unitedbot]

Animated Jetstorm/Jetfire from Asda Trafford Park

[KingGrimlock]

Awesome Unitedbot, thanks for letting us know!

Slightly off topic but an amazing bargain none the less

I live in America...>.<

But,In Jamestown,North Dakota,I was browsing through the Super Wal-mart,and they had Shadow-Blades Megatron,Blazing Lockdown,and Universe Robot Heroes:

Optimus Primal & Tarantulas

Arcee & "Rumble"(He's red. HOW many times do I have to say it?! The BLUE one is Rumble,the RED one is Frenzy!!!! Megatron even addresses "Blue" as Rumble in the first episode,and after. In the rerelease of "The Transformers Movie",there's a special feature in which you can see bits of information on the screen while you watch the movie itself. One of those bits says that Rumble's toy was red and black,but the show made him blue. I don't see why one can't call the blue figure "Rumble" and the red figure "Frenzy". :evil: I suppose they wanted to remain accurate to the original toy,so that more people would buy the pack. )

Rhynox & Waspinator

Thrust and Blaster

(Sorry abou the mini-rant. :oops: I just get so frustrated when people argue and argue over which is which,when you can just go on YouTube,and select the first episode,or a few other episodes for that matter,and see that the blue bot is addressed by Megatron,and occasionaly other Decepticons or Autobots,as "Rumble".)

[thelastallosaur]

Not to go off topic, but Rumble was red in the comics too, so there are more instances of him as the red robot and Frenzy as the blue.
In terms of sightings, Tesco Corstorphine in Edinburgh finally got Rescue Ratchet and Stealth Lockdown in, though the only ones I saw were the ones I bought, they were shoved in with the voyagers and so there wasn't much room for them.
Voyagers were back at full price unfortunately.

Aaarrggghhhh!!!!

My girlfriend was there last night and said she didn't see them.

Just hope they've got some in by Saturday.

[quartz]

If anyone is after the Stealth Lockdown or Rescue Ratchet sets let us know. Our nearest Tesco Direct store had loads in the other week so I can pop down and have a look.

[Claymore]

Tesco Extra Dundee had Universe Onslaught and Activator Patrol Bumblebee (that is the one with the police paint scheme right?) Don't know what else they had as the girlfriend pulled me away from the toy section

[sideways]

Tesco Shrewsbury has Universe Deluxes - Ironhide, Galvatron, Acidstorm and Sideswipe, Ultras - Onslaught and Powerglide
i was surprised to see Universe, so i hope some newer 1s appear soon
