There's a thread on these boards here.

If not, there's the official stuff over at http://www.autoassembly.org.uk/forum/, but it always looks a bit dead to me.

I was checking out auto assembly as well. The website always looks dated and they only have like two sellers announced. Anyway I emailed them abiut stalls seems they get more closer to the time. Includeing big bad toy store. I wont be going this year but will for sure next year. If anyon can give me info on what pricing is like for figures etc and how well stocked it is I terms of imports and unreleased stuff that would be great(in reguards to both aa's of the past and this upcoming one) as id love to go over there and go on a transformers bender lol.

I went to AA way back in either '10 or '11, I actually forget now haha-and sincerely doubt I'll be going this year.
My spending was certainly under a hundred, and most of that was on the second hand stuff rather than imports and the like-which is mostly very good condition, but obviously give it a look over before you buy just in case. Mostly respectable pricing, nothing really ridiculous on either end of the scale. Great experience overall must say. Also, a lot of tables have boxes of various assorted under them. Whilst it might not look much, you'd be surprised at the gems you can find in them, also parts/missiles aplenty at the bottom. But yeah. One of the greatest days, no lie.

If you're only going for figures, then follow ArmadaPrime's suggestions!

Myself, I'm a sucker for the artwork. Most of my money (all of my money) is blown on commissions. Andrew Griffith is going to be there! And Nick, and JP, and Andrew!
So many sketches I could get!

..but I'm not sure I can make it. :(

Maybe if we can get a few people to make it, even for one night, we could organise some kind of TFW2005 meet up one day/evening? It would be good to put faces to the names I see on these boards. A few cold beers and some TF talk perhaps?

I'm starting to really get excited about AA now. If nothing else trying to grab as many TFs as possible that I wouldn't normally get the opportunity to buy is awesome! Do I buy several cheaper toys or blow my wad on an imported MP! :-?

Wrong forum perhaps? I really want to make it again this year, can't really commit until a bit closer to the time. If I'm there I'll be booking the hotel for 3 nights this time. Being stuck with my bag after check out on the Sunday last year was a bit draining.

Popped in to Babies R Us in Bedford today for a maternity pillow, they didnt have any with Decepticon insignias so from Toys R Us I bought the Voyager of Transformers Prime Dreadwing! :D
Image

Taking pride in the centre of their display was Masterpiece Optimus Prime! Glorious! :BOT:
Image

Saw a few other bits too including the FoC Cassette Bots/Disc Bots, other Prime Voyagers and a load of DotM Voyagers!.

Spotted a Star Wars Transformers Crossover Darth Vader Star Destroyer too!

Wrong boards wrong boards abort abort! :michaelbay:

If I can make it, I'd love to!
There already is a Seibertronian crew, as far as I remember.

EDIT: Nevermind.

I saw Dreadwing in The Entertainer today. Went back an hour later, and he was gone.
TRU was fairly desolate. Waiting for my Generations Voyagers, dammit.

Not like, officially, but there's normally a collection of shrapnel at the bottom of the big boxes-weapons, missiles, mostly. Though if the figure the belong to is clearly on sale there and needs it, it's kind of a douche move to just buy the weapon, leaving some poor soul with a weapon-less fig :p

Anyone seen the Kreon Combiners in Asda?

I was in the big Asda Living in Belfast yesterday which only had the single kreons. Asda online list the Kreon Combiners, but only the one listing?! It has a pic of Bruticus, but a discription of Superion.

So... If anyone has seen these guys at UK retail, and is willing on helping me out :grin:

guns glorious guns? Get some AMWs. Cheap as vintage accessories, or cheaper and they transform into stuff. Chainsaw Cat!

I've currently got Hasbro's Thundertron and Megatron toting all my AMWs, divided by faction (Thundertron has the Autobot ones...he looted them or something) and they look great. Still waiting to ship the Autobot AMW gift-set but the Con one is great as are the Dark Matter Calibur and Whatever It's Called Shield.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I popped into TRU while I was in town.

They seem to have dragged out all their remnant DotM stock, which is mostly Bumblebees (Nitro and Cyberfire).

BUT.

They also had Masterpiece Optimus Prime. That thing is gorgeous.
I spent a good 15 minutes looking at it, box in hand.
