Not to burst your bubble, but the UK is actually yonks ahead on distribution, compared to the rest of Europe.
Still, I wish you best of luck, and that the plastic may replace the philigrane.


:sad: oh well maybe ill be lucky and get some ROTF. yay.

Weapon: Electromagnetic Photon Laser
Went into Liverpool today, their Forbidden planet was bare from anything new. But I went into their World's Apart shop, which is similar to Forbidden Planet and they had 2 Prime Hot Shots! Which means recently they'd of had the Vehicon and Knockout as well, they were just sold out of those :/

But I bought a Hot Shot any ways simply because I was determined to buy something, and I agree with what people have said about the little guy, the mold seems to work better as Hot shot rather then Bumblebee, even though I quite liked Bumblebee, the paint and colours are just full of Jammy goodness!

I just seriously overpaid for Hotshot and a Vehicon, £14 each at the newsagent. After seeing the price tag I put them back on the shelf then managed to justify the purchase with the fact that Tesco has a shelf full of wave 1 figures that aren't shifting and won't be getting in a wave 3 case any time soon and I'd be paying out for train fare or shipping otherwise. Shouldn't be making that kind of impulse purchase a couple of weeks before AA though. No Knock Out, but the newsagent splits their toy cases between their two branches so he's probably gone to the other shop a couple of towns away.

I'm jealous of your jammy findings.

In other news, I spotted Weaponizers at TRU for £34.99.

And at Langley's, which is a Toymaster branch, they had Cyberverse Ultra Magnus for £7.99.
Is this the first sighting in the UK?
Also, apparently Argos now has both Weaponizers and the R/C toys.

Need to go back in town, see if I can get a Steve.

EDIT: Weaponizers, not Powerizers, dammit.

Ok, just got back from Argos (without Steve :( ) and noticed this in the catalogue:

Image

14 deluxes: So far I count Bumblebee, Hot Shot, Soundwave, Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, Vehicon, Airachnid, Arcee, Ratchet, Dead End, Knock Out. That's 11. Who are we missing? EDIT: Kup, Rumble, Ironhide. Solved.

8 voyagers: OP, Megatron, Bulkhead, Starscream, Ultra Magnus, Thundertron, Dreadwing and Skyquake.

Spending more money I shouldn't be... Character Building TARDIS console room marked down from £49.99 to £12.49 at Argos, couldn't resist, should be with me Tuesday. Pretty sure there's no variations on the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River figures compared to the series 2 blind bag releases though.

Masterpiece Optimus Prime

Postby mike69_manc » Sat Jul 21, 2012 12:53 pm

Can anyone tell me if you can still get the Hasbro Classics Masterpiece Optimus Prime figure in high street shops in the UK. I did see one in Toys R Us about three years ago.

Found this one on ebay the other week. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=170860529723&nma=true&rt=nc&si=MqF4Yk0u2%252B51xiT4gb4xJgQFmZ0%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Not sure if it's the same model but I think so.

Thanks

Mike
