I just feel as though I lost 4 years of life.

My PhD application was submitted today, I will know something by April.
Time to get back to my everyday MA studies.

good luck va'al

I just made a deal with a poster here (well, not "here", here, but on Seibertron) for RTS G2 Prime and the Maketoys Battle Tanker. It's a good deal. :grin: Can't wait for delivery.

Also stuck an order in for 5 of the blind packet Micron Arms minicons from Kapow. Kinda want to go mad and get loads of the Micron Arms toys, but can't justify the prices without seeing any of the toys. Might end up with one or two, but definitely getting all the FOC guys except FAT Prime.

Been noseying around ebay again too, still so many older Gen, Classics, Universe, etc, etc, etc figures I want. And they keep making more! :BOOM: :KREMZEEK:

Had a nice little surprise at work last night!

I work nights at Sainsbury's on the Isle of Wight, and I tend to work the Seasonal/General Merchandise departments, which includes toys! Going through my delivery, I found:

Image

Of course, Soundwave came home with me..! :D

Image

Interestingly, our system put it through the tills as a DotM Mechtech deluxe. I'll check tonight, but if that's the case, then it should have the same barcode as the DotM deluxes. That could be why a lot of places haven't got their Prime stock in yet: If their stock levels on their DotM deluxes is still high, the ordering system won't have generated an order for a new case yet. Speaking from my store's point of view, we've still got a million Cyberfire 'Bees and Mudflaps that we're never gonna shift! Same story for the Cyberverse Legions, too! We've got tons of Stealth/Bolt 'Bees and Mudflap.

Nothing there. Loads of PCC and repaint stuff (DOTM, WFC).

But my FE Optimus arrived today.
He is gorgeous. I can't get myself to open the box, he looks that good..

Hm. So non-specialised retail has the figure, but toy shops don't.
Interesting.

FYI I went to my local ASDA today (Killingbeck in Leeds) and wandered down their Toy sale aisle (promotion they are on this month) and lo and behold, what did I find? Only RID Revealers Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack and Soundwave! And on offer at 10.97 each! :KREMZEEK:

They only had one soundwave so grabbed him and wheeljack, but they had loads of Bee so may have to go back once I've sold a few internal organs! After all, me and my wife to save money didn't do Valentines day so god bless her for agreeing to me buying them.

Anybody else checked their ASDA?

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, and I'm pretty certain it's common knowledge anyway, but the cases aren't packed evenly. The mix is 3xBBee, 2xWheeljack, 2xCliffy & 1xSoundwave, so all those Decepticon fans out there need to get hunting!

I checked when I finished work this morning, and something is up with our system regarding the Prime deluxes! They do have totally different EANs/barcodes, but they are being lumped in with the DotM deluxes as far as the stock control system is concerned (ie, it has the the same SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) code). I thought it was weird when it came up with exactly the same description on the receipt as the DotM deluxes.

The downside of this: Stock doesn't get replenished until it falls below a certain level. For example, the system might be set up so that when our stock falls below a case, we get another sent in. As there are eight in toys a case, we need to wait for stock to fall below eight before we get another case in. This would be fine if it were just the Prime Deluxes we were talking about, as they're selling really well, but our system has lumped them together with the dreaded DotM Mechtech deluxes, so we're gonna have to shift those Cyberfire 'Bees and Mudflaps before we have much of a chance at getting any more in...

I mentioned it to the Price Control girls on my way out this morning, so hopefully something might get done!

Wicked cool, first Soundwave I see is mine, 'Jackie too. My NYCC set has arrived with JRF3 so I should have that in hand in a couple of weeks, with 'Bee renamed as Overcharge on my shelves of course.

Asda (Holt Park) in Leeds does have the PRiD line, but someone got there before me and grabbed Soundwave. :(

The other figures are still there, just one Cliffjumper left.

Well then. Just after I return, my computer dies. I am cursed, I swear...
Have to say that while TFP looks quite good, I'm not masssively inspired by the aesthetic in general *cowers under a table to avoid the rocks being thrown*. And I've literally jst seen WFC/FOC bruticus pics and he's certainly...different. Colourful and with a stupid power-ranger-style weapon lol and his upper limbs are really thin. But actually, IMO he's not that bad...
