They had Arcee, Vertebreak and Crock-Out in Toys R Us Chatham on Saturday, lots of them.
Unfortunately they also had Metroplex...
Now they don't have Metroplex any more and I can't afford to buy any more Transformers this month.
I'm just hoping the Wave 4's hang around a little while.
Chatham also had the Ultra Magnus Generations wave, pretty much all of them with the exception of Kick Back. Still no sign of Cyberverse wave 3, or Commanders Wave 2.
As far as Metroplex goes. I still have a little giggle of joy when I see him stood next to the sofa, looming over the arm of my seat. He is massive, seriously I knew how big he was but it's not until he is actually in your hands that you get a good idea of how ludicrously big he really is!
Downsides: £125. STICKERS oh so many stickers... and I suck at putting stickers on. Also I am a bit narked that they have messed around with the voice chip for the UK release. He doesn't say anything. Just makes a series of loud and annoying stompy transforming noises that made my wife tell me to stop playing with him I just wanted him to say "Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime" but nooooooooooooooooooooo Hasbro have to make toys that can be sold all over Europe with no language issues.
However, gripes aside... I am truly happy that I have worked hard up until this point in my life so that I can afford £125 to spend on 2 foot of awesome plastic.
What's the betting Toys R Us send out one of those 20% off vouchers this weekend...
