ill stop by again tomorrow and check,likewise at mine gormati,ufc,thundercats tanks and a bunch of RC racers.apparently the sentinels where spotted in the UK midlands so that is what im expecting to see next over here.

Jimmyo · 03-07-2013, 06:51 AM

It always seems to be in the midlands first, How much were the sentinels going for and when were they spotted?

Jackieboy · 03-07-2013, 06:59 AM

spotted 2 days after the first IM2 pack picture was posted here.trouble is there was no photo proof to back that one up so its kinda debatable as they have not been found in scotland,ireland or other parts of the UK,just this one TK maxx in the midlands somewhere and the price was somewhere between £20 and £30.the comment was posted over on the UK facebook group.

I should be going to 2 Maxxs tomorrow. I will report back my findings.

Good score on the second IM pack JB, My tkmaxx are sick of me

I'm sick of mine. You just know that they have decent things in, but one of the millions of women who shop there throughout the day accompanied by small kids has plucked them off the shelf. Problem is, when I first went in after these sightings began, the shelves were pretty rammed with stuff, now they look like a plague of locusts has hit - restock dammit! I just wanna find *something* worth having!

JDSlater · 03-07-2013, 01:27 PM

In the end I managed to pick up 3 Fury of Assualts and 1 of the black widow 3 packs. I opened 1 set up, saving one for later eBay/swaps and the one offered here. And I still have tomorrows search to go.

I managed to get a Sea Drone set for £45 delivered. I was thinking I could sell the other 2 figures for some money to offset the high price.

You have been so lucky mate

I suppose.
It's weird. You always think you are the only one in your area who should like this and even know about these editions. And when you don't get them you automatically think someone has beaten you to them as opposed then not getting them in the first place.

JDSlater · 03-08-2013, 02:35 AM

Arrived this morning in perfect condition.

Perfect condition. Will not opened yet as my shelfs are not ready.
This brings this weeks buys to this:

Some good finds,JDS,i need to get that Mark 1 armor,it was supposed to be thrown into a deal i did awhile back,but i guess the guy just forgot about it.
how much and where did you get the drone pack from???

JDSlater · 03-08-2013, 06:02 AM

I found it on eBay at a starting price of £39.99 and I just offered him £45 including the delivery charge. Luckily he said yes and he sent it out yesterday. If he said no I wasn't gonna up my bid.

Very pleased with it. I will open it later as the only things I collect are GI Joe and Avengers/Thor/IM etc and I'm just redoing those shelfs for display.

JDSlater · 03-11-2013, 01:32 PM

The Entertainer have the new Legends figures. £15 each I think.
Got the Iron Patriot and War Machine Assemblers. They are crap but just wanted figures from the new film.

Iron Man Legends? Or regular Legends?

Jackieboy · 03-12-2013, 02:40 PM

The disney store got a bunch of assemblers in,but no sign of the new wave.

Both actually!

I went to London yesterday and went into Forbidden Planet and Cinema store and both were useless.
Cinema Store had a Thor Loki figure for £15.

I popped into TK Maxx today with the intention of picking up the Iron Man 2 pack and a few Sentinels, sadly they seemed to be out of stock :-(
