I went to my local TRU this morning to find wave 1 deluxes and voyagers
on the shelves. I picked up Cybertronian Optimus Prime, Bumblebee,
Prowl and Lockdown as well as Starscream and Bulkhead but I left
Cybertronian Megatron on the shelves. Gotta drawn the line somewhere.
Anyway, I expect these'll start appearing all over the UK. I'll post
photographic proof of the receipt and toys in a while.
Didn't see any Leader class toys though. Wonder when they'll appear or if my TRU just hadn't put them out.
EDIT. Proof for anyone who wants it of my purchases and the date I made them.

I think I'm going to have to give Animated a miss due to the simple fact I've got nowhere to put any new figures.

If they're already out... then what is Play.com's excuse for delaying them for another month?

Last i heard on that Percy is that the armour is being sold seperately?
Also, TRU Thurrock said that they are expecting their TFA stock next week.

That would be giving the fans want they want, and Hasbro aren't exactly the greatest in that field of service.

How dare they keep children's toys locked up so we adults can't get our grubby mitts on them. There's no fairness in that when we've got more immediate expendable funds than the brat brigade.

All TRU Reading had were earth mode prime and cybertron mode megatron gift sets, gotta say that megatrons cybertron alt mode is terrible but his robot mode is pretty cool.

On the way is Starscream, but most wanted by me are Blitzwing and the alternate Lockdown with the flame deco and chainsaw. The other Decepticons will follow in time.

Ah, Play ALWAYS delay stuff. I've had 2 Street Fighter figures on order with them for months now, and the release date is CONSTANTLY being pushed back... to the point where I'm verging on cancelling the standing order altogether and re-ordering with someone else...
