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.

Bank manager isnt liking me right now....

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:

Went on a bit of a hunt yesterday and TRU, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsburys have stuff all in my area. However, Havant Asda had all the Kreo combiners in stock so nabbed myself a Predaking :).

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!)
