I'd also like to add the T-Rawket to this list, as I don't think that it has been released in the UK.

I don't recall ever seeing the T-Rawket anywhere either.

Spotted newest repaints of the wave 1 pupil Turtles without the belt initials this week. They look good in the plastic.

Finally got some blind bags the other day as was visiting Derby so called into Entertainer.

They didn't have many left but not surprised at £1.66.

I managed to get 5 different coded bags and got all four turtles and Shredder which i really wanted.

I noticed in TRU the other day most items reduced is this a bad sign that basically everything is being slashed?

Easter sale?

[Hero]

That sale has been on a while. The Megabloks line surfaced late into The Entertainer and on offer straight away. Sort of makes up for the previous two months of not stocking anything.

I wouldn't say the reductions are a bad sign, but more or less a Springtime offer to get some stock cleared. Movie Megabloks stuff is only round the corner.

[jimbob_2003]

Yea hopefully just making space.

looking froward to movie megablok's some of the sets look great.

Was hoping by now that the classic line would be showing up as really want the van and technodrome

[Hero]

Not sure if any of the classic Megabloks will make it here, but Target and Amazon USA now ship those figures and sets internationally.

[Hero]

A bit strange that Smyths are marking down figures that are not out yet, let alone not being able to pre-order at that price.

[SS Kakarot]

The new movie toys are being listed on sites such as Amazon, Toys R Us, Smyths etc.

I've also seen some in-store images on Twitter.

[Hero]

Just ordered from Smyths. They're out!

Both the Technodrome and Sewer Lair are already reduced, with £20 off each.

[Roitorb]

Are the Bebop and Rocksteady movie vehicles exclusive to asda as they have them listed.

[Roitorb]

They also have the Leo with motorcycle

[jimbob_2003]

Will have to call in Smyths this weekend to have a look at the new stuff.

Is there any word if we are getting the Megabloks for the new movie?

Will be getting the large Leo as got the other 3 from the original film but never was able to track down a leo

[jimbob_2003]

Got the 11" Leonardo from the new movie as my lad had the 3 from the first movie but could never track down a Leo.

I like him feels sturdy and decent quality just a shame they changed the paint app so much form first ones it kinda makes him look cheaper even though the detail is there.

No signs of the mega bloks movie sets as they are what i'm wanting to pick up but must admit it's going be hard not to buy the 11" rocksteady and bebop

[Hero]

Saw the motorcycle figures in The Entertainer yesterday.

[D Piddy 1982]

Godammit. Picked up Fugitoid from my local Entertainer today. Got home, unpacked him. Tried to make him stand but he seemed to have balance issues. Thought it strange as I'd watched the Pixel Dan review & remembered he said how well Fugitoid stood up. Just re-watched & can now see my Fugitoid has his feet on the wrong way round!! Not happy!!

Aside from that, The Entertainer had a nice selection of TMNT stuff from all the ranges, including the new movie. But they only had the 4 Turtles & Krang & I don't really want any of them, only B&R.

[Hero]

Bebop and Rocksteady look like the crown jewels of this line. And Mikey too!

Tesco have a listing up for the 'Metal Mutants' Fugitoid, but not the Turtles (yet). I've subscribed to stock alert for that one.

[oldmanwinters]

My Fugitoid seems to have come out of the package with a squished right toe.

Also, my figure's right foot is slightly different than the left, as the toe is bent (not sure if it's intentionally or an error) that requires a slightly different approach.

[Hero]

Tesco randomly cancelled the stock alert and said in the email that Metal Mutants Fugitoid was no longer available to buy. Then again I also had a dispatch notice for my Force Awakens blu ray for an estimated delivery of between December 30 and Jan 6th 2017. System must be scrambled.

They also seem to be the only store not stocking Movie 2 items yet. I'm holding out on further acquisitions until anything surfaces.

If you search "Fugitoid review" on YouTube & view the Pixel Dan review he will explain it a lot better than me, but Fugitoid should have one flat foot & one angled at the ball of the foot. Because mine (& sounds like yours too) have the feet assembled incorrectly he's about as easy to stand up as someone whose had 10 pints.

Don't know what to do. Playmates probably won't give a f*ck, & it looks like the feet are welded to the joint, so it would mean breaking him to fix him. & there's no way I'm paying for another, correct Fugitoid, at a tenner each!
