As they don't say Generations on the packaging, and this is Hasbro UK... are you sure they knew what you were talking about?

Man, I'd hate to be another toy retailer when the movie comes out and the only toys they have are one-step changers and dino sparkers! Oh, let's not forget the Titans! Never forget the Titans. Nice one for squeezing some info out of them anyway! I'm glad the ritual was finally successful! I hope it didn't cost you too many chickens!

Just picked up tf prime night shadow bumblebee from my local asda for £4.75. He was the only one they had. Have to say he looks pretty badass!

Thanks for all the updates by the way Va'al! Much appreciated.

Nice little load there Vaal.

Only thing I would have been interested in would be the Wreckers, but I am skint and also in the process of getting shot of a bunch of stuff

As far as news goes, Sainsburys also have Transformer stock on clearance. Picked up Construct Bots Shockwave for a tenner so that was kinda nice - especially as there are no Home Bargains' anywhere near me

News Credits: 1 · by **Searchlight** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 3:38 pm

Ditto with Terradive.

News Credits: 2 · by **NovaSentinel** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 4:25 pm

How much for the sexy beast that is Leadfoot?

And how custom is custom on his buddies?

Roadbuster and Topspin only have some paint, as shown here: va-al-s-minor-touch-ups-dotm-roadbuster-t93649s400.php#p1474519.

Topspin has even less, but can't find a decent photo.. :-?

That Reveal the Shield Cyclonus would make an excellent troop builder for Universe Cyclonus and his armada!

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:19 pm

or if you've a spare Cyclonus you could chop a horn off one of them and you've a stand-in MTMTE figure.

Nah, Im good thanks Va'al as I have the Universe version already plus two sets of MISB Battle In Space box sets which I may crack open and use those as my armada troops.

Got an idea for the pair of Nightsticks too ( :-$

) which would leave one Rodimus to be used as my Classics Hot Rod whilst my actual Rodimus is the Classics Robots In Disguise version with added Fansproject upgrade kit!

The spare Battle In Space Rodimus will probably go up on Ebay?

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 6:37 pm

or you could try your hand at repainting it?

I've got three of those Rodimi - the original Classics one that wears the Protector armour, and 2 of the cartoony ones. One was from the set with Cyc and Galvy that I got when Protector was announced and the original shot up in price and the other was from a job lot off ebay.

speaking of ebay, I been on it all weekend. Arg! Not enough that I've spent loads on TFSource thanks to their sale (finally nabbed the TF Go! vehicle combiner trio for a bit less of a shafty mcshaft price) but I'm now looking at loads of stuff I want. thankfully I can't really afford most of it. At least til I get paid.

oh, and to keep on topic, no new sightings at Tesco today.

All the figures are here now: va-al-sells-stuff-p1567099.php#p1366805.

Thanks to those who grabbed them before they went live.

As for TRU Norwich, plenty of Deluxe upscaled stuff, BOGOHP, and some late FoC Generations.
Not much else.

did the FOC Wreckers ever turn up here?

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 3:39 pm

Not that I've seen them. :-?

Hey, a couple of weeks ago I went in to Liverpool forbidden planet. They had all the wave 1 idw deluxes, with comics, and they had the wave with dreadwing and goldfire/bug, no sign of skids/waspinator, i'm guessing they got swiped as soon as they were shelved, the staff in there weren't much help, I asked one person if they would have any more boxes in the storeroom or if they knew when they'd be getting a new delivery in and he just shrugged and told me "that's all we have" i'll just keep checking in every now and then, think they were overpriced, about £17 each. I really want a skids but not willing to pay £30+ he seems to be going for on ebay...

A fair few weeks earlier (late feb maybe) I saw a lone deluxe foc whirl, the funky orange/blue guy and in a spur of the moment instantly bought him because it was the first exciting transformer I had seen in a fair few weeks.

Also on amazon.com springer, blitzwing and sandstorm were down to $16.99 each, not sure on how much shipping would cost, or if indeed they'd even ship to the uk but just thought i'd inform you guys anyways.

Forbidden Planets import US stock (hence the comics in the comic figures). Probably where the FOC Whirl came from. I pre-ordered Springer, Blitz and Sandy but wouldn't mind a Ruination (I've no FOC Bruticus, so there's that, also I know they're not very good Wreckers, but they'd do for a while) and am still hoping to get Waspinator and Skids at some point. And maybe Voyager Whirl. Maybe.
