Sorry home hours ago, and can't make it back tomorrow. I might be part of it next year :-$

To Maxman, yep deluxe class.

Nope no Grimlock. Wave 2 & 3 Deluxes mostly. He said he had Voyager SW on his website, but I know you have him already.
He said he would be getting Grimlock, but he didn't give me an idea of when.
ordersixtysixtoys btw.

I'm toying with getting the Takara versions of SWave and SBlaster as the Tak Combaticons have amazing paint instead of waiting on the UK release.

Soundwave and soundblaster isthere really any difference? I mean they just look a shade different

Soundblaster is the black version of SW after he died and was rebuilt. SW is a favourite of mine, so i will get both SW and SB eventually.

picked up PRID Bulkhead and DOTM Mudflap at the Entertainer (now that my local Toys R Us has vanished off the face of the Earth), both reduced.
Mudflap is the most depressing piece of crap in robot mode, with his massive gimpy arm, ridiculous face and awful mechtech weapon, but i do like the Chevy Spark in general so i decided 'why not?'

Bulkhead isn't as bad as i originally thought - great articulation and just feels good in general, will be interesting to see how he compares to his FE counterpart when it arrives

Actually was Movie Ultimate "buttefly pants" Oprimus Prime who was £100.00

Id imagine Metroplex will be over that, when Fort Max got his limited release in the UK way back when he was 150.

Any one seen the Sideswipe range of FOC toys on UK shelves yet?

Saw Dreadwing in Smythes once. They now have Thudnertron and Magnus showing Skyquake on it too but not seen him.

Really want a FOC insecticon but after getting MP 10 from toys r us kinda wiped out for the month

Picked up Thundertron from Argos yesterday at an "introductory price" of £15-ish. No idea how long the offer goes on for or anything.
Very nice figure I have to say (it was the only one they had in stock, and they only had one magnus in as well), and it is making me more and more tempted to cave and pick up one of the Dr. Wu Prima swords from Kapow-though unfortunately, they've only got the gold one with the red gem in, and that doesn't seem like it'd fit as well with many figures :I

Found a comic with Scorponok while I was up North raiding Home Bargains for cheap Thundercats and Gormiti, just missing Crankstart from the preview wave now and have a lead on getting one from a US member at another forum.

I finally picked up 2 Kreon Galvatrons.
Crankstart was there too, if I had known I would have got him for you.

While not sightings related as there aint much released over here atm. Anyone preordering springer, blitz and the legends guys from the us or waiting for kapow toys to get em in?

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:09 am

I would, but I felt a bit bummed out when Thundertron showed up at TRU last month.

I bought him from Kapow for £20something. TRU has him for £16.99.
I think I'll just play the waiting game, also seeing as how I'm only planning on getting BH Shockwave and FoC Grimlock and Starscream.

Currently waiting for Mobine Series Paladin/Chaos too. Should be arriving in March, and that's tomorrow! (So it'll be end of March, obviously.)

by **Maxman** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:28 am

Worse than that argos have thundertron over here for 15 quid lol ultra magnus to lol

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:31 am

Precisely. Which is why I'm not too keen on pre-ordering mainline figures.
Later waves, maybe. I'm afraid that Dreadwing and Skyquake may never make it to the UK.

But as I said, no longer that interested in them, now that I've seen Shockwave!

News Credits: 1 · by **SkyWarpsGhost** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 4:55 pm

I've spotted Dreadwing in several different Tescos over the last month or so. Skyquake on the other hand...

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:07 pm

I keep forgetting about Tesco!
Don't have a big one here, though, so won't be around.

Maybe Asda or Sainsbury's.

by **Maxman** » Thu Feb 28, 2013 5:12 pm

In my experience asda and Sainsburys are terrible for toys, i wouldnt hold your breath.

Sainsbury's is often, or at least used to be, very much respectable, and sometimes even got/gets exclusives.
Asda at one point was vaguely alright and now is pants, in my experience.

I picked up voyager Dreadwing at TRU in Leeds just a couple of weeks ago. He was the only one out of quite a few voyagers. I'm looking for the FoC voyagers to start turning up now, TRU had the data disk double packs for Soundwave so surely they'll get in his voyager toy?

Also is anyone going to AA this year? My wife has bought me tickets as an early surprise birthday present and as it's my first one I wondered if anyone had any suggestions of AA must sees / do's!

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:10 pm

AA is always uncertain for me, I've realised.

I have three conferences to attend this summer, which eats up pretty much all of my budget.
So if I can make it, it'll have to be a day only, and won't be able to buy much either.

(And that really defies the point of it, really.)

I realise it's off topic for this forum but how much would you be looking to pay at dealer tables? Trying to figure out if I need to remortgage the house before I go...

As long as you mention a sighting of something, Robotmel won't complain about the topic.

(We're very loose about keeping on topic here, you'll notice.)

Not having been to AA before, I'm not really sure.
But I've been to other conventions, and especially with London Super Comic Con, I calculated about £100 for the whole weekend, excluding tickets, food and staying overnight.
That did include a fairly overpriced (£25) photograph with Stan Lee, though.

Any AA veterans?
