Good news for UK fans next. We can report that not only has Titans Return’s Leader class Sky Shadow arrived at UK retail, but he’s done so at a reduced price of £34.99 – a full £20 off of UK RRP! The big guy has been spotted in an Entertainer store in Liverpool by TFW2005 member Lockdown91.
This is excellent news, as not only was it looking like Sky Shadow might miss UK retail, but he is at a most agreeable price. One might feel a concern for the possibility of us getting Overlord after him, on account of the fact this feels like a “straight to clearance” pricing.
However, it’s a new sighting and that is always welcome, and perfectly timed to bring some phase 6 action under your tree this Christmas!

I *think* I have from one of the usual suspects but can't be 100% sure. I'll keep an eye out from now on though.

Would imported Euro stock have import stickers, though? Never seen that.

had mine for months, great figure.
Looks like the Sixshots are at the big tescos, the one in Broughton has them at that price too.

Not necessarily. It could be remaindered Euro stock imported into the UK.
On balance you are probably right though!

Since the in-store photos depict Sky Shadow in European packaging, it's not imported stock.

At it's heart, the Entertainer is still a toy discounter buying in stock cheap where it can. The Shelfwarming overpriced Deluxe and Voyager are an aberration.
If anyone has bought an Entertainer SkyShadow – or is passing by an Entertainer – can they get a picture of the box back and the bar code? Just to satisfy my curiosity that it's not import stock.
However it's worth noting that Tescos have had Sixshot at the same price so it could well be the wholesaler is blowing the leaders out cheap.

Is this real? The Entertainer? Home of £23 Generations deluxes?

Nice, he\'s better than Overlord.
OL\'s still cool tho

Thank you. I was putting him off due to his cost buying him online, and I recently saw him for £50 in Forbidden Planet in Liverpool which was still too much but made him tempting. Then when I saw this thread, I just had to get him. Bargain.
And I've also pre-ordered Takara Overlord during the summer.
Insurgent
Oh my. For £35, I think I'd grab him. Need to check out the Nottingham one.

Sixshot was only found in quantity relatively recently too IIRC, after a few Hamleys sighting earlier this year

We had a sighting from Ireland back in June, but nothing from the UK.
