Still cheaper than Kapow Toys. How can they charge £49.99 for it? Can't wait for the weekend. If I pick this up I will have to buy the appendage kit. All the Energon combiners look really weird with the hands and feet.

Woo-hoo! Debenhams still haven't put these back out (as of yesterday) in the main Glasgow store. And a quid cheaper! Doesn't quite make up for missing on Debs 20% off (which was still on toys yesterday actually) but hey-ho, now I just need to rob a bank.
Has anybody else in the UK got the Appendage kit cheaper then Kapow!? £50 seems a bit steep for what it is.

Oh for f**ks sake!
In the US it's a Target only exclusive, we in Europe finally get a piece of the cake and get them in more then just one store. Like the Target only scouts from TF1, yea I can still find some of those in quite a few stores over here. Plus this is the first time the entire set of those molds make it over here. The UK didn't even get all of the Aerialbots in energon.
And quit it with that super size whining of yours - it's annoying.

Well, I got one a couple of hours ago and its ok.
There are no elbows which is annoying. He cant stand with his legs pointed straight down and I didnt realise that he was made up of only 3 different figures for 5 characters. At £28 its a fair price seeing as you get something nearly leader class in size.
Im gonna have a look at this upgrade kit, maybe that can fix things.

Only one of my area Targets had these out today. On the same endcap as the Voyagers and helmet pieces for $30. No Bruticus, though - I guess he might be held back for a later date or just cancelled?

Picked up one of these just hours after reading the news - thanks for the scoop guys 
Oddly the man behind the counter told me that that particular store had recieved no Bruticus as of yet, but they were expecting them at some point.

Picked him up in John Lewis this morning. Not too bad. Not great, but not too bad.
I've put both Airazor and Air Raid as feet (makes sense that both feet match and both hands match, IMO), and I think their foot / hand attachments are very difficult to keep attached, but he looks appropriately imposing in his combined form.

I checked out the website on Friday and my local Argos only had one instock. One reserve at 5.30 and a couple of hours later (shop was closed) I got him for the £29.99. Was in Toys R Us today. They have him for £39.99. With all the new figures coming out I know what is the better deal.
