Ohhh Green stuff, I completely forgot about that, I always meant to try it years ago back when I was into Warhammer but I was only about 11-12 at the time so had no idea what it was or how it worked. I'll be buying some of that stuff to try out I think There's a Games Workshop in my town centre. Thanks waaaaghlord!

My bad guys, I did indeed mean WFC Megatron not FOC, I don't play the games so it's easy for me to mix up, I just bought the Megatron because I thought he looked cool, always liked the design but seeing the cool deepticon-like symbol molded into his back pushed me to buy it!

Though I admit that a voyager class of this design would be awesome!

^ Stil need to get meself some wfc...why berkshire do/did you hate generations so...
Well I imagined there'd be something in, especially seeeing as I recognised basically everything else in the entire charity shop from last time i went in :/

What was the charity shop called that had all these Transformers in? Is it exclusive to your area or are they all over the country?

My town's laced with Charity shops so I wonder if there's one of these shops in my area.

It was just a Barnardo's that for no apparent reason had like 4 classics 06 starscreams, 4 rods and 5 bumbles (at a guess), all MISB.
I assume that some vaguely local business had stock left over and went bust or something...

by **Lockdown91** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 5:50 am

Hmm well Google is telling me there's a Barnardo's in the same vicinity as my Games Workshop so when I head out there to get me some Green stuff it won't hurt to just pop in and see if my store has anything similar, I doubt it will but there's no harm in looking.

It's a bummer though, I just checked on my local Games workshop opening times, says it's not open on Mondays/Tuesdays :/ now I have to wait til Wednesday!

Couple of tips, first off keep your sculpting tool moist so it doesn't stick to the putty, second ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER HANDLING!!! The stuff is pretty toxic.

by **Lockdown91** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 5:56 am

Ahh Cheers for the heads up. I'll probably get trigger happy with the stuff as I always do with new things

Anyone seen any Prime wave 3 yet? :/ Really want a Vehicon!

I've decided to have a bit of a clear out ahead of AA to raise some funds, as usual you guys get first dibs before stuff goes to ebay. Up for grabs.

Generations Thundercracker on US card, got 2 of these left over from my Warpath case last summer, £10 each,
DotM Target Spacecase on US card, £10,SOLD
Animated Starscream, voyager, Euro box, box is a bit tatty, £12,
Animated Lugnut, loose, complete, no paperwork, some warping on the rubbery parts on the tailfins/weapon (the hot water trick should sort that out but it was easier for me to just break my extra one out of it's box), £10,
Botcon 07 Thundercracker, loose, complete, no paperwork, some marbling evident on the wings (the one in Ryan's gallery has a touch of this too so I presume it's fairly common with the figure), £40.

All prices inclusive of UK shipping, and with postage prices having gone up recently I'm taking a bit of a hit there, and Minicons thrown in as freebies. You've got until next weekend if you want anything and I'll be shoving anything that's left on ebay after that.

While I'm really looking to rustle up some spends for AA I will also consider any trade offers, might be able to work out something along those lines if anything interesting comes along.

I assume Bulkhead and Starscream are PRiD voyager wave 2, so then who's in PRiD voyager wave 3?

EDIT: Never mind according to Wiki its Dreadwing

Yeah, then it's Magnus, Skyquake and Thundertron in Wave 4.

Deluxe 2 is Ratchet and Arcee, 3 Hotshot, Vehicon and Knockout, 4 Dead End, Airachnid and Shadow Strike Bumblebee and Rumble and Kup in wave 5.

All I really want is Steve and Dead End..

Yeah can't wait to get Steve. Order him of eBay on Monday from a UK seller along with Knock Out. Got both for £30 inc postage, very happy. Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow.

thanks for the confirmation. Looks like I'm out of the Voyagers til wave 4. I'm probably going to get AM Bulkhead. Cause his wee dude is so much cooler than "random spinny thing!"(TM) and the colours, even taking the stickers into consideration, are much better. Also, kinda want AM Brakedown so it'll work out alright.

Kapow already had Dead End...might get him in again? He really is fantastic. So hideously neon it's perfect. I'll pounce on the first Vehicon I see too, but only really after the one, just because it looks like a great fun toy. Really want Baird...I mean Hotshot too. I may actually buy an Airachnid if I see one cheap. But only to keep and give to a friend for a birthday present if he's p!$$£d me off about something and I feel like spiting him.

Still undecided about Prime Arcee. I'll probably skip her and hold out for getting money at my birthday at the end of the month that I can blow on the PE pink Motobot to use as my Classics Arcee. I do like Arcee's Arms Micron though...then again, I like nearly everyone's Arms Micron.

Oh, speaking of Kapow. I won FansProject Flameblast off them on ebay today (after being sniped on AM Bulkhead at the absolute last second the other day :twisted:

) and am looking forward to getting my hands on it. I had the Micromaster it was based on, but I'm mainly getting it because it looks like a cool ninja bot/spaceshuttle dude.

Really tempted by the new pics of iGear Ratchet and Ironhide too.

News Credits: 1 · by **MightyMagnus78** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 7:58 am

Steve did not turn up as expected today! :-(

However I did manage to get Hot Shot off eBay for £12 shipped last night, but he's scant consolation.

Vehicon and Hot Shot are the 2 Prime figures I'm looking forward to most now.
(Well, til Magnus and the voyagers)
Just a shame I have no money to snag em off somewhere online.
Still, I can be excited when I find them in a shop.
I still won't have any money to buy them, mind...

I've had a good day. An out of the blue letter from the revenue arrived along with a cheque for £441.31 relating to an overpayment dating back to 2007. I've been incredibly lucky that this caught up with me as it went out to my old address. While I was on the phone to a very friendly and helpful guy called Tom getting my details updated I've also managed to get my tax free allowance upped by £100 per year based on the fact that I launder my work shirts at home. In real terms that's only 38p a week more in my pocket but at least it's backdated to the 09/10 tax year, and -insert Tesco advertising slogan here-. With AA just around the corner and finances looking tight otherwise this really couldn't have landed at a better time.

by **Krok** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 4:53 pm

I'm not sure if this is necessarily news to anyone but Smyths online store has Weaponizers, Opt-Max and the Bot Shots Ultimate pack listed; all out of stock of course.

Actually I'm a bit behind on what is and isn't out. Has anyone spotted voyager Starscream or Cyberverse Wing/Hide at general retail?

News Credits: 7 · by **waaaaghlord** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 5:17 pm

I've picked up both Dreadwing and Ironhide, one from my newsagent who source their toys through Toymaster and the other from Tesco. It's the first wave that I'm having trouble with locally on the commanders, might try to snag Megs and 'Screamer at AA. Nobody round these parts is carrying the voyagers at all, but that's what I get for living in the back of beyond.

News Credits: 1 · by **MightyMagnus78** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:56 am

Hot Shot arrived today, but still no Steve and Knock Out. :-(

hope they arrive tomorrow.

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 10:42 am

Nothing in Norwich. Nothing.

Although there was a Cyberverse Ironhide, which I hadn't seen before.

Just realised that when I'm in Ireland, at the end of the month, I will be staying three doors away from a Smyths! And they already have Optimus Maximus in stock and in store (Not that I care, but it sets a good precedent

)! Woop woop!

Also, I'm up to Leeds tomorrow, until Tuesday.
Going to try finding a Ratchet, although still a bit on the fence about him.
Any suggestions or recommendations?

by **Krok** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 10:55 am

Managed to pick up a Cyberverse Wing/Hide from my local Tesco; pretty nifty.
I’m really enjoying the Prime Cyberverse toyline on the whole, it’s inexpensive, fun to fiddle with and has almost all the cast characters.

I also grabbed a Kre-O Megs and Screamer from my local Argos.
I haven’t purchased any Kre-O before (I’m still haunted by the Build-to-Rule Armada/GIJoe lines) but who can argue with the prices at the moment; 8.75 for Megs(down from 34.99)!?!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 11:47 am

I saw the Argos deals too, but I have my mini-decepticons and am happy with them.

Which reminds me, I have stuff back on sale on eBay and Carbombya, if anyone's interested!
