What are the best online shops for Transformers in the UK?

I know someone mentioned Kapow on the previous page, are there any others? I want to grab a fair few of the Transformers Generations Wave 1 and don't really know where would be best to get them from.

Thanks

and tescos,smyths, tru and toy world are highly likely to get them too

they have been spotted at forbidden planet though

Oh awesome. Thanks for the help guys.

Oh one more thing, you folks got any specific recommendations of recent/easily obtainable sets (I don't really like the movie toys)

I got Powerglide and really liked him from TRU recently.

any of the CHUG stuff, (Classics Henkai, Universe, Generations), some of the later "nest" stuff is good, lockdown, skystalker, brakedown, bludgeon. some of the "hunt for.." stuffs nice as well


on a side note i had a good run for acheivements on war for cybertron, i only need the multiplayer stuff and hard mode now

CHUG??

Classics

Henkai

Universe

Generations

yeh lookin forward to eventually getting the game, but i reli hope theres still people playing it when i finally get it

i thumbs upped your videos, i enjoyed most of it except the big brother bit, but thats because u made me watch a big brother clip

you guys seen the reissue predaking? just WOW!!!, to rich for my blood, anyone thinking of getting it?

Oh thanks, glad you (watched it) and enjoyed it.

I literally just this second saw Predaking, and came in here to talk about it.



Need. In and around my mouth and face.

Hi folks,

I'm a fair way through WFC-Decepticons on DS now and while it's not the full blown WFC game it's pretty good, I'm enjoying it much more than the 2 movie ds games even though the contrls are too similar for my liking however it's quite lacking in areas open enough to make transforming actually useful, from start to level 2 I only transformed 3 times and the first time was just to go see what megs' tank looked like.

Plently of nice little touches, especially between Megs & Starsceam and I love the littel quotes the characters say when to swap them over, "No-one summons Megatron!" being the favourite.

current advice: If you see it at £15.00 pick it up.

Nearly had an ebay disaster last night, went to increase my bid for Legends ROTF Ravage and slipped, it didn't give me a confirm bid option and I realized i'd upped to $300.00 instead of $3.00. Really glad when the other bidder caved in leaving me paying $3.25 (about a fiver inc P&P)!

Hi Rez! Welcome the the disgruntled Brits!

Yeah I collect DS games (got....this many...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROPuJTlT5mw



I want to get WFC DS and its only like £16.85 on ShopTo.net but I still can't even justify that at the moment (just become unemployed, am chilling for a few months, worked for Halifax, they're ****) but I'm gonna keep my eye on the price. Wouldn't be able to not-buy-it if it goes below £10.

ReZourceman wrote:worked for Halifax, they're ****

Did you ever meet Howard?

No but....I saved a picture of him once and the files name was "Howard_brown" and I started going off on a huge thing thinking it was racist, because I was absolutely convinced at the time that his surname was Wright not Brown and....yeah.

That was an embarrassing day.

Hahaha.

Blimey, that looks like my complete games collection! (PC, PS1&2, PSP, DS, GBA) Mind you I've still got over 40 games I've not finished yet.

Yeah I'd normally not buy any DS games (Final Fantasy mostly) over a tenner but WFC and the starscream repaint (adore that mold!) was just too tempting.

I once worked for Halifax - in Wakefield, always love working for companies named after a place and not actually working in that place it seems a very Yorkshire thing.

Maybe after I'd stopped laughing.

OH MY GOD. JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING INCEPTION.

It is astounding. Go see it.


And that Drift looks freaking sweet, definitely want that. I assume they'll get that in at Argos? Should I have problems finding it or would it be safer to order now?
