Just heard that The Entertainer toy shop in Milton Keynes shopping centre has closed down!

A big dispointment for those that enjoyed browsing the shelves for Transformers, in fact any toy really!

Guess thats one more reason not to bother going to Milton Keynes, especially with the £13.00 return bus fair!
I wait patiently for Collectormania at MK Dons Stadium.... ;)

Apparently the shop owner is an ex-con, born again Christian, man-on-the-edge when it comes to his temper, has fallen out with the landlords/council of the shopping centre so has told them to shove it and has packed up shop and moved out!

Not sure if they plan to re-open elsewhere in MK or move out of the city to a nearby town (Bedford please)?

Motto: "Fnargh."
I was really bummed when I moved to Norwich, hometown of both Kapow! Toys and Toyz and Gamez, only to find out that a month after my arrival the latter was moving to the industrial estates. It was in town, slap bang next to EVERYTHING.

Now it's a 20 minute bike ride, or two buses. Blah.
And of course, Kapow, which is closer, doesn't really do retail, only mailing orders. Oh well. TRU is still solidly 10 minutes away from my flat.

I forgot to stop by the shops, will try this evening.


Snagged Sunstorm, Spinister, Galvatron and Waspinator so far, the rest of the copies around town being duplicates of those. Will venture out looking for the other two at the weekend.

I've only found the TF comic at small indie newsagents. None of the big supermarkets seem to have it out on shelves yet. I've managed to find the four I was missing to complete the six as I'd bought Sunstorm and Galvatron off eBay. Been looking to get doubles of these two, but they are so far eluding me in the shops.

No magazines anywhere over here. How peculiar.

Funny that, cause I've bought stuff from the eBay shop and had it posted to NI no bother.

Went back to Argos again to day to get me some Thundertron :D he's really awesome and ive done some fancy elastic band tying (the small clear ones tht come with most tfs) so his blade now stays locked out without being floppy or with the light on
