Heck, I regret not picking up MP Optimus, so the way I feel now, I would take a YotH Optimus, especially at that price! ;)

What has annoyed me regarding Toys R Us recently was after speaking with their customer service dept, they said after their stocktake, if I came in and checked for stock again they could tell me which stores up and down the country still had stock of MP Optimus, Soundwave and Metroplex then get one (or more) transfered over.
Didnt happen.
I was told that there was no stock available for transfer from any store. :-x

Well there's quite a few at my store :P I want a MP 10 after passing on a MP 01 (because of its condition) I'm just not sure I want that one.

I even considered getting Snake Prime and a KO Prime then see about swapping a few parts around! Gold coloured chrome just doesnt look right.
I dont mind the clear trailer as it suggests to me, being clear, it is supposed to represent what happens to Primes trailer when he transformers from alt to bot and it just kinda disapears! ;)

Ravage-the £8 is Royal Mail's handling charges, I don't know for other providers

On a related note though, got home to one of the little red slips saying that Springer was 'too big to deliver' (luckily I didnt buy him from outside the EU so no charges for me), am rather excited to pop down to the post office this weekend!

best part is when your online tracking from the US shows that they've got it, you've got customs charges to pay, and yet they take nearly an extra week to tell you about it. AND THEN they want more money to deliver the thing. buncha crooks

Springer has to be one of my favourite figures. I just can't fault him.

As for Metroplex, I'm hoping he'll drop a little in price as £125 is a little too much for me at this moment in time. If he drops to £100 then I'll be all over it. I don't think I'll bother with getting the US version imported as I really don't fancy being hit with the customs fees.

Ah, shame. I'm still not sure who from here is going, to be honest!

In other news, I have a couple of Animated things I'm considering getting rid of from my display, any interest? All complete, with instructions and accessories, nothing else.

Jetfire and Jetstorm
Sentinel Prime
Jazz

(I almost let go of Ultra Magnus, too, but I love it too much..)

How much would you want for them? It would only be Jazz and sentinel mind. Had safeguard before wasn't too impressed but I liked their alt modes...

I'm still going!

(we really should sort out some kinda plans and stuff for that, BTW)

I'm narrowing down my list of stuff I want. Big box of Beast Wars/Machines stuff I got as a 2nd chance on ebay last month helped a little with that, and also left me with a bunch of spares to sell.

speaking of which...anyone going to AA want any BW/BM bots?

I picked up 6 2-pack transformers knock-offs called transrobots at a large pound store today and interestingly each set had the decepticon logo on the card also 4 of the figures are multi coloured ratchets in rotf/dotm vehicle mode

I wish my tru had the strafe set. But no, tru Teesside still has largely the same stuff. However now all Metroplex s are gone. A price tag for MP Acid Storm at £50 has appeared (but no sight of the toy) and MP YotH optimus prime is back to full price :S

My area is cursed for TFs apparently...

Did he say how much the evolution prime set would be? Wh isn't Strafe here? Though Scorn hasn't been in stock again since the line first hit :-?

Also anyone have generations crosshairs? I was going to pick him up but passed in favour of constructabots grimlock. Is he any good?

I had a Cybertron leader Prime, sold it to make space, kicked myself for being such a dummy and bought another one.
