I just pictured an Amazon sofa. It must be HUGE.

Knockout arrived today, and I actually really like the little guy, once the transformation is done correctly!

Still needs some paint, though. Shoulder spikes, wheels and maybe the inside of his hood, and shins. Ratchet is on his way too, but he's getting the Reprolabel treatment.

I've said it somewhere else, too: I think there's too much covering going on with the stickers, and I'm not sure about spending more money on him. I already have the paints, just not with me, and I've started doing what I could with Sharpies.

Still a work in progress:

Spotted (and bought) these two little beauties at my local Tesco yesterday afternoon.

Transformers Prime deluxe Arcee and Ratchet for few nice price of trying to get by the spam filter.. NO. 9.97 each!

They where the only two on the shelf apart from several Bumblebee, a Cliffjumper and a Wheeljack.

Looking forward to the new Argos catalogue which is out next weekend for more Prime and hopefully FoC goodies? Heres hoping!! ;)

Still nothing in East Anglia, but Ratchet arrived today from Buyforless.
I like him! So far he's ranking well with Soundwave, in the PRiD line.

Reprolabels should be arriving soon for him, too.

This is because there is only 1 of each to a wave 2 case. So out of 16 available slots across wave 1 and 2, 14 of them are the wave 1 figures (that have now been out for 6 months) with Bumblebee most heavily overpacked. Add to this the tendency for companies to over order on early waves and the reasons for our difficulties in finding non yellow TFs become clear.

In light of Hasbros ridiculous decision not to release Breakdown in the west, I've pulled the trigger and ordered the AM version today off eBay.

I'm not a fan of these Micron's either. Any 3rd parties making a more show accurate hammer?

Glad you got Ratchet, Va'al, he's pretty good, eh?

I too appear to be having to order Breakdown off of ebay. He's vanished from Kapow, when I would have ordered him last week if not for their "no pre-orders and in-stock items in the same order" rule. Still there's a few sellers with the Bulkhead and Breakdown AM figures in a set, so I should be able to pick those guys up together and save on postage after all.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

He is! My one complaint is the face: too grumpy. :P

I did see one really good deal actually, turned out to almost £35 per figure once the order was made. Was still on eBay last time I checked.
