Thanks to 2005 Boards member JonzyYT for giving us the heads up of our first world sighting of the new Transformers Studio Series Deluxe SS-88 Revenge Of The Fallen Sideways at UK retail.
Sideways was spotted at Forbidden Planet Newcastle, but unfortunately his wave partners SS 86-16 Arcee and SS-87 DOTM Bumblebee were not found. We may think this is a solid case of Sideways toys.
Happy hunting!

DOTM Bee found yesterday at same store. Still no 86 Arcee, although BB movie Arcee finally showed up as well.

It’s getting to that point yeah, it’s not so bad when you get figures that are bigger but when it’s a smaller character like this it gets you

Nice! I'm really excited for this figure, although I'm sure 26 pounds for a deluxe hurts badly.

He was in the Wolverhampton FP branch as well but I had to pass so didn’t get any pics but glad he’s out in the wild

Forgot about her as well. It's all weird, we don't even have wave 16 deluxes or voyager yet.
Nevermore
A standard wave 17 case should not only include Sideways and DOTM Bumblebee, but also 86 Arcee.
JonzyYT
It's pretty odd how things get stocked over here. I wasn't really surprised that DOTM Bee wasn't there, though I had remained hopeful that he was.
Nevermore
Possibly a solid case then.

Forbidden Planet Newcastle
There were 3 of him, I bought one.
2 of Jhiaxus, 4 of Tarantulas
No DOTM Bee unfortunately.
Nevermore
Which store?
And did they get him as a solid case?
