They had the others reported, Cliffjumper, Mirage, Ramjet, Tit Mags and Megs and some more movie deluxes

DAMN!

That sound you just heard was me grabbing my coat and heading out the door. To Wilkos I say! Tally ho and all that trifle!


I'm gonna order a box, and have em save Astrotrain, Cliffjumper, Ramjet, Grimlock and Mirage. So basically, one of each from the box

How much do they sell for?

This indeed be excellent news for us Brits. Whoever found this news deserves a promotion.

In fact, promotions for everyone!

Heres a pic of my haul from yesterday:

Classics are £7.99, Tits are £12.99

2 Wilkos in Donny and nothing at all. Plenty of WWE stuff though

I'm gettin the heeby jeebies just lookin at these swag piles.

Damn! £7.99 is a sweet deal!
That means I can get all three remaining Classics bots for almost the same price as buying two and standard retail!

I may actually tip the store I buy them from, and say they should keep stocking them.

Don't forget to switch the upper legs round on Tit UM Sonray. You get a whole lot more motion from doing it.

Switch the legs?? Huh?

The upper parts of the legs are molded backwards, so the leg bends forward rather than backwards. Simply unscrew the upper parts and switch the legs they are on.

You mean his thighs? The section just under the part that joins to the ball joints on his hips?

Yep. I think.

The screws should be on the insides of his thighs.

Well Astro, Grimmy and OPs are the only classics i was really bothered about, so if i only get these two ill be quite happy, of course ill pick up more if i have spare cash and their available

Quick q: As someone said it may be leftover bulk stock from some american shop, is it American packaging or the European version?

Well the back has about 10 different languages on it, so i assume its the euro version

That's good news. Does that mean the rest of the Classics are meant to be coming out at regular retail, but are just being held off till the movie dies out?


Gotta buys these right away. The waiting's killing me.

Yargh, I know where I be headin' to tomorrow before going to my local comic shop, yargh!

Me want Grimlock!

Damn..wouldn't mind that Ramjet!

Anyone want me to pick anything up when my local gets em back in stock?

I did it. Kinda stupid how hasbro did that...im beginning to get disgruntled now.

It does really add to the figures poseability, im surprised i havnt seen this mod posted everywhere.

I think i'll skip on that one, or buy another tit soundwave and buy a small mp3 player for that and stick it inside. Id have to fix his legs too with a classics seeker. Hmm both seem too expensive, i wont bother at all then.

NOOO!

tITIAnium Soundwave is a peice of smoldering ****, and MP3 soundwave, even if you dont use him as an MP3 player, is THE single best Soundwave ever made.

Dont be a fool!

I did that almost as son as I got him.

And that bulldozer thing... wow... lol, just wow.

Stupid americans.

I think I noticed when I started posing him.

I tried to see if I could switch the legs round and still have the front panels line up, but that was impossible because of how they're moulded. But alas, still the best Ultra Magnus ever.





Somebody steal my car so I can claim insurance and buy all these tfs while they're out please!

In fact, I'm going to a mates Tuesday, so maybe I'll sell his PS3 on ebay for a load, and then buy em

I already have a tit soundwave, i like him.

I meant i could buy one to turn into an mp3 player. And with the classics seekers leg mod you can put onto tit soundwave that just makes him better.

Id rather buy the commemorative soundwave than the mp3 version, because what is the point in paying extra for a feature you wont use? The only reason MP3 soundwave is so expensive is beause of the MP3 player inside him, and if it doesnt work out of the box then whats the point?

Support Hasbro UK by buying Reissues from TRU!!!!


I'm am determined to see improved tf availability in this country, even if it kills all everyone else to do it.

I'll buy mine online sometime probably, as i doubt by the time i have the money i will see any of him left in TRU, especially my local one which is simply useless.

Besides theres other TF's id rather buy with the money, especially if Wilkos keeps re-stocking classics and Tits.

QFT!

For booting up cold, my wilko's still didn't have any in stock

Anyone know if Woolies are going to be restocking them?

Gaargh maties! Teeside proved to be ripe fer the plundering with much fine booty to be had.



Stockton Wilkos was a waste of time (didn't really check anywhere else in Stockton) but Middlesborough turned up the goods. When I left there was stiil a few Cliffjumpers and Mirages on the shelf along with one Magnus and some Movie Protoforms, Scorponoks and an odd Bonecrusher. Nothing at B&M or Poundland. TK had a couple of SWTFs, Jango for £10 and the Falcon for £20, no sign of any Roadbots though. Woolies had lots of merchandise but few actual toys, Movie Protoforms mainly. TRU on Teeside Park looked to be in the middle of restocking their TFs as there were empty cases everywhere and a full one of reissue Skywarps waiting to go on the shelves. I grabbed the only Soundwave that I could find, the rest of his shelf space being taken up by Red Alerts making me think that they probably don't have any more Soundwaves to put out at the moment, but I could be wrong on that. Generally quite well stocked on Movie toys, late Cybertron and early Classics.

Jeez i wish i had money like that to spend. Sucks being poor and with no job.

Well I did manage to blag the Soundwave out of my mother as a birthday present so I've only spent about £50 overall today. Does mean that I'm not allowed to crack him open until Wednesday though.
