I went back at about 10 and they had Ratchet and Blackout Voyagers, even though they told us that all they had was the stuff in the boxes.

The 3" movie titaniums actually looked pretty good. Seem a lot more detailed than the previous ones.

Btw Royal Prime, nice to meet you this morning

Good to see you too Wheelies Executioner. Always good to meet fellow fans.

Did they have any more stuff in town? i.e Entertainer, Woolworths, Blackwells? I keep meaning to check out John Lewis!

Nothing new in Blackwells or Woolies, although they have dropped the price of the Magnus/Skywarp set to 15 quid.
Argos had Ratchet but only Protoform deluxes. The Entertainer , ironically the last place i usually look for TFs , actually had a few figs in. Mostly the same as TRU but without the Real Gear stuff.
But the guy in TRU did mention the Dr. Who section becoming the TF section and that is a big area to fill so i am quietly optomistic that they will have the rest there soon.

I didn't know that JL stocked Transformers, but i will be having a look when i'm next in town.

Looking forward to see a big TF display! (Not seen something like that since i was a nipper, and thats a long time ago!) Hopefully be full of new stuff and not Cybertron Skywarp and Unicron! The UK seems to be hemoragging these figures!

All the UK TRU seem to have exactly the same layout. It's actually really disorientating. Anyway i guess this means that nearly all the crappy pirates displays around the country will become Transformer displays.
Its nice to see that AT LAST Transformers is back in its prime. (ARGGHHH bad joke i know but i couldn't resist!!!!)

Confounded. Has anyone else found this day to be somehwat disappointing? The only stuff from the 'core' range that I can find are Voyagers Blackout and Ratchet.

And why the deuce won't Blackout's vehicle mode stay together?

Well guys i went back to TRU today because im obsessed. Anyway my local (watford) were putting up the new TF Movie Displays. Stuff for the film is everywhere now. That knob'ed Mr Who is now GONE! And Prime is in.

However you could tell they messed up their ordering somewhere because they had millions of protoform figures and lets face it, they aint gonna sell too many of them.

I'm trying my hardest to find out when we get the next lot. No word yet.

The Reading TRU has now got the movie figs in the Doctor Who section. One side TF the other side a few Dr Who stragaling figures. No new figures from what i saw/got when i was there on Sat. But soon it will be good to walk in and seen a big cardbored display of bots greating you as you walk in! Just hope they get some of the deluxes in that ain't the protoforms!

Went into the Reading branch of TRU this evening and they had just put out the leader class figures (still no new deluxes though).

Got me Prime and Megs. Woohoo!

Megs is a bugger to transform though. The instructions aren't that clear and he doesn't hold together all that well. On the flip-side Prime rocks!!!

On the plus side the buy one get one half price seems to still be in effect on these figures and is apparently good on ALL Hasbro TF products. Not just movie items.
