Ive lived in both of those places. I loved the Isle of Wight, and dispised Cornwall... Cornwall is full of misserable antisocial and poorly educated wankers. At least the top end where I was is.

Leader Prime is a little to expensive fore me but is he the most iconic figure from the movie? or was it bumblebee? Help me make my mind up guys

So far (apart dfrom the real gear guys) Leader Prime is easily my fave movie toy. I know he's expensive, but bloody hell he's worth it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I did it myself.

Erm.

Yarrgh!

This is an intelligent action.

That reminds me, I STILL need to order Soundwave.

#Just to ask, is the Soundwave reissue TRU exclusive out in the UK?

by **HugeBadWolf** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 4:22 am

Nope, sorry mate.

Is anyone else collecting the Merlin stickers?

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 4:55 am

Nope. I was happy enough with my G1 sticker book I got with the Armada comic when it was out.

Shame the TRU Soundwave never hit our TRU. Really wanted it.

But I guess I can settle for MP3 Soundwave instead

God I need money now! I need £25 for the Movie Op/ 08 BB two pack. I need £20 for that new game, I need another £20 to buy the last two Classics I'm after...

Lordy, it's gonna be an expensive year.

So yeah, if there's any transformers you want rid of, I'll take em off ya for free! Yes, free!

That's right, you don't have to pay me anything at all!

Thanks to BigBadWolf fer providing a decent copy of teh con logo on the new ODB shield. Eyepatch added and we have a much better one.

ODB FOREVER!!

*Transforms into a rock cassette and blasts out Lordi.*

I see in another thread ye not be back yet qwailo. The ship is waiting fer ya. Arrgh!

Arrr, I be getting the BB/prime 2 pack if Argos ever be getting it. Or the single BB if I sees it. Probalby will only appear in FP, but a pirate can hope. After all, that's where I found cl Astrotrain. I also be hoping they be getting Barricade at some point when I go back through town.

Encore Soundwave will soon be mine. I just hope Ravage XK ain't gonna charge too much fer it. He is usually fair on prices though, so we shall see. That will complete my original wish list.

Aye. I say original because there were only 5 when I started collecting 2 years ago. I have bought a little more than 5 (13 and counting :oops:

), but such be the nature of the plastic crack. Ye just can't get enough of that wonderful stuff.

Why would you wanna stop buying tfs?

I gots me almost a hundred now, and when some actual income starts floating in, then I can really start buying tfs.

Wow, you found an Argos with the 2-pack in stock?

This makes me more optimistic about finding it.

well ide been checking the website since i heard it was out, after about 2 days i saw there was some instock a few miles away and the day i got the job there just happened to have stock appear in my local argos...seems the universe is being kind to me for a change

well not really, the first one i got had a defective BB (or maybe i was heavy handed) and i couldnt transform it, so i went back this morning to exchange

Nice sig Chugster. You rekon both figs in the 2 pack are real beauts eh? I think I'll have a look see tommorrow.

I may also be able to find Barricade.

Hi Guys,

Just in case you weren't aware the Argos website lets you check stock availability in your area and if I'm right, it also lets you reserve in store. Could be handy.

Wasn't someone looking for the new sticker book? If so the Co-op seems to have vast stocks of them, certainly in Leeds and they tend to stock evenly across the country.

Anyone seen Robot Heroes Megatron & Ultra Magnus in the UK (other than Ebay & Amazon marketplace)?

yup, thats how i got mine

yeah, BB is great and so is OP if you can get past the backpack kibble, watch out though, the instructions are for the spearates i.e. from car to robot and i found them a little hard to work out in reverse, especially OP

Received my BB & OP 2 pack a couple of days ago. Ordered it from Argos' website because there were none in stock anywhere near me.

Bumblebee is great! I can see why so many people like him. Voyager Prime on the other hand is a bit of a letdown for me. I really hate that huge front end on his back. Still a decent figure though.

Also, has anyone seen any deluxe Bonecrushers about?
I think i remember someone saying there were some on display in one of the Argos stores.

Once again Hasblo UK have buggered it up I see. If they had released their reissue of soundwave at the same time as the yanks, I'd have bought it imeadiatly. But no. Not only do they fail to get it out before the MP3 one (which means I have a BETTER toy of the charecter, as well as the same two cassettes with my Soundblaster reissue), but they fail to release it before we all knew takara were doing a better reissue (you know, the right cassette door n all).

Now Hasbro will turn round (again) and say there is no market for reissues (again) cuase all the fans bought him one way or the other months ago (again).

Thank you Hasbro.
Thasbro.

That said, I can be amazingly weak willed sometimes, and may sitll buy him... mmm geewun crack.
