but didn't buy it, eh, Va'al? I've no overwhelming urge to get it, but if I see one in front of me and have the money I can't promise anything. I should probably ship some of my ever growing TFSource stack soon to use up the funds.

I have some sighting info! I sighted, in my house, after I went to the post office to collect them: MP Ravage and MP Black And Red Cassette Guy. They're both pretty awesome. Still not 100% on Ravage's head, but it is a lot better in person than I originally thought it would be from pics. There's a bit of neck articulation and some mid-torso/waist bend as well, meaning he can adopt some decent animal poses. Frumble (or is it Renzy?) is pretty awesome too. Very posable and his guns and post box piledrivers work really well. Can't wait for Purple And Blue Cassette Guy and Orangebeak.

I'll bite if it hits clearance for around the £50 mark. I doubt I'll have that sort of willpower when Soundwave hits though, I can see that being a painful full price pick up.

my local B&M have the Ark for the same price. Didn't see anything else, but I may have scanned past Kre-O kits and BotShots.

Has anyone spotted any Combaticons, recently?

My TRU seems to have regurgitated more Prime Deluxes, including Steve (at least three!), but no Generations stuff apart from the Decepticon data disks.

One MP Optimus down, three to go.

Both the TRU near me are pretty much the same as yours. I've only seen three sets of Combaticons, but not seen any in months now, just OP and Jazz. They must have found a few cases of Prime dlk wave 2, as they had lots of HotShot, nabbed another Vehicon (they only had one) for the army lol

My wife picked up TF Prime Top Trumps for me today from WH Smith while waiting for a train. It's actually pretty cool featuring all of the Prime figure bios, and bizarrely FOC Vortex and Swindle. Not sure why those two particularly but I'm not gonna complain!

Might be a visit to TRU tomorrow, will keep an eye out for any combaticons but last time it was just FOC Primes and data disks.

No Skyquakes in London, some one has cherry picked them all leaving US packaged Magnus' and the Lion dude.

Lots of Masterpiece Primes though.

Just booked up Botcon, got MP Ravage/Rumble, FP stuticon and few other bits.

Itll be my 4th Botcon. Its rediculously expensive, flight alone is £900.00.


Think this will be my last one if im honest. Its fun, but just too dmaned expensive being on the West Coast.

Its on a scale that none of the K cons can compare too, but the toys are at a premium and there is a certain level of back slapping that goes on that I dont like.

You do meet lots of greta people and few elitest snobs as well.

Id say if its in an area you want to visit do it as a proper vacation holiday than attending just the con as other wise its tupid expensive.

Last one i went to cost me just over £2K total. Said Id never go again, but I'm making this my last one.

As nice as all US conventions look, from a 'ooh-pretty' point of view, I'm not sure you sold me on it. :D

I still need to find the funds to go to my first Auto Assembly, never mind £2000! :shock:

Bit random, but I found a Dark of the Moon Mechtech Sentinel Prime (leader class) in B&M Stores in Shawlands Arcade in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. No price label on it, and it's probably just leftover stock, but it seemed worth a mention. There were a few leader class Bumblebees there too.

Yeah, DotM stuff seems to be popping back up all over the place.
Hopefully, this is the last we'll see of it. :P

(Mind you, there are some good things in the line, it's just that ..well, I want Generations to hit full blast, and Beast Hunters to follow suit!)

Grrrrrr!

Popped into Bedford's B&M Home Store this afternoon to find the same stuff from my last post, but an entire shelf of Transformers Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Sideswipe (Silver version) for £14.99 each!
I don't see what all the fuss is/was about regarding the larger Human Alliance figures? Is it because they are nearer Voyager sized? The Deluxe sized figure seem more screen accurate? :-?

Human Alliance Jazz is absolutely gorgeous.
In my opinion, the ultimate movieverse Jazz.

Sideswipe is bad, way too much kibble.

I've heard really good things about the Twins though!

only in that context. I'm sure Pat Sharpe has a lot of good things to say about The Twins, for example.

I'm in agreement about the big HA figures. Never really appealed to me. The HA Basics are responsible for naught but joyous memories though.
