ugh ... you're one of those that take Administrators seriously aren't you?

See this -> :-P

? It indicates a joke. I bloody well know it's not a reason to ban someone, but I can still have a bit of fun! Hell, people have been encouraging me to be more "fun", and when I do, I STILL get criticised!

There's just no pleasing some people! :-P

I definitely feel you there. No one is ever happy, ever, no matter what you do. While simultaneously everything is always your fault whether you were involved or not. This was kind of like one of my previous relationships. Though she did rarely have a point I concede.

My wife told me on the day of our marriage that I was never allowed to ever be right again. But she looked so damn hot I didnt care at the time. And now I am stuck with things always being my fault.

You need to take a stand.

Go out and buy all those Skywarps. When she starts yelling and questioning what she will no doubt perceive as a stupid decision, stand your ground and say "Woman! I'm in the export business now!" then turn around march quickly out of the room.

And then send me a Skywarp.

Wouldn't mind a Skywarp myself in this case.

Aye it's supposedly the same stuff as Germany

I thought the order it was coming in was spookily similar to the Russian Sightings - but since there is all these Toy Wholesalers in former soviet republics I often think they have something to do with any unusual sightings.

The stock Germany was getting for Combiner Wars seemed dissimilar to UK stock at least as they got Viper & Huffer & Blackjack and the UK kinda didn't - not until some external sourced stock showed up that contained that revision wave.

I don't know of any retailer who only sources from Hasbro UK getting that stock in.

The whole stock situation is a bit bizarre in the UK though like why is Soundwave only in TRU & Smyths ?

But this is all minor quirks of interest - I'm more irked by the lacklustre stocking of boys toys in Supermarkets I have to Tesco Extra's near me one is as big as the other biggest one and yet the one 40 Miles away has a whole long toy isle with actual stock in it and the one 12 miles away has mainly girls toys and the one 3 miles away has a 1/4 size toy isle and a huge pharmacy section instead *barely sells clothes either*.

Tesco used to be a good source of Boys toys - like most of my ROTF toys came from there - all but the last wave of oversize Legion Prime stuff came from there with a little from Home Bargains and now all the Tesco, both sainsburys in my range and even B&M all have nothing - they have 3 long isles in B&M of toys and most of it is either unbranded tat or girls toys - the only boys toys at all are a hand full of Turtles and some Batman Videogame giftsets - that's it - they have more kinds of My Little Pony than they have of the total selection of boys toys - if you exclude tat like beach balls and water pistols and unbranded sand pit dumper trucks.

I'm especially disgusted with Sainsbury's & ASDA well not so disgusted with ASDA as they are always pretty useless an have been since 2008.

The only thing they were good for was for £5.00 Onesteps from time to time.

Well, I went back to ToyChamp again, to see if they had an Alpha Bravo (since I managed to buy a :TAKARATOMY:

UW Superion, and sold off my very recently acquired :HASBRO:

CW Superion). The first one didn't, but they had these:

toychamp-2016-collection-02.jpg

and also 3 Cycloni and 1 Hot Spot... Been there for months.

But these Deluxes I already have in the UW Grand Prime set. And no AB, so I stopped at Bart Smit on my way home too:

Bart-Smit-collection-01.jpg

Bart-Smit-collection-02.jpg

They actually have Titans Return! Way overpriced of course, but wow. And they have 2 Galvatrons... And I want him... But not for friggin' €50,-! For that kind of money I can get the TT version. #-o

So I'm on the fence. Should I get him, overpriced, or look further for a better deal, but risk missing out...
And they also had Hardhead and Skullsmasher! But I own those too. Sadly no others. I'd love a Wolfwire. And those were actually reasonably priced at €22,-

The next day I took a little detour back from work, and visited a second Toy Champ, and yeah! they had 2 Alpha Bravos left! Grabbed one

(They also had 3 Cycloni and 4 Hot Spots. Seems like those Voyagers are all they have)

Wait for a better deal. Look online, amazon might have him for cheaper eventually. They made a ton of him and are even rereleasing him later this year. What I find odd is how far behind that store is with RID. That 4 pack of minicons is a year old.

The NL and Belgium are YEARS behind. All they have is what I posted in the pics. Aerialbots, and now the Optimus team. Sometimes a Hotspot and MAYBE Rook or First Aid. Lots of Cycloni. Lots of old RiD stuff.
Dunno why, but TF is really not big here atm. We got toy magazines from all stores now the holidays are upon us, and they all had TMNT toys, Avengers toys etc etc, but ZERO TF's in them. Stores have 2 shelves MAX, and they're not even full... It's sad. :-(

They still have Age of Extinction Voyager and Leader Wave 1 back home?! Actually, not that surprising since they never went down in price last year unlike the rest of the assortments. But man...

Now that stores around me are no longer getting new Combiner Wars figures in I can officially say that I've never seen Hot Spot or Sky Lynx in the wild. Yay.

The only CW figures I never saw in the wild were the Protectobots limbs. I had to go to ebay for them.
