Road bots are the Alternators impersonators, aren't they? What's the quality like of those because the pics look good?

They are.
He's still in the box ATM as I'm at work. Looks a little plasticky, but no worse than Swindle.
Will post more later after he's been freed from his plastic and paper prison.

Cheers,

Is anyone else getting pissed off with how many spoilers people are putting in the titles of the movie forum threads? Man WHY ARE WE LAST! I can't get over it!. Im not gonna use the movie forum until the 28th.

Yeah, I get distracted by such magical things too.

HMV are having a final 70% off everything sale as they circle the plug hole. It's mainly because of internet access to music. Virgin records have already kicked the bucket apparently.

Luckily I don't look in the movie forum. I find that forum pretty pointless. I've got a question though. Will the movie forum dissapear once all this movie hype goes away?

As for you Red, I am at a loss for a witty comment.

The best I can suggest is use one controller in each hand. :???:

Thanks! I'm heading there as soon as i've typed this.

Is the reissue Soundwave going to make it to our shores, and if so going to be a TRU exclusive again? I've done a search on there, but no luck. Thanks

Tried that. Kept slowing the wrong car down which led to some spectacular crashs.

That's why I have avoided the movie forum since things were starting to get confirmed oh so many months ago. Of course, people still make stupid comments outside there, so I have learned things I didn't want to know. :BANG_HEAD:

I thought that was the point of scalectrix? That's probably why one of mine exploded... :-?

hmmm, I guess the Movie forum will *transform* from Movie appreciation to movie 2 speculation within a matter of months. Back to square one!

You haven't by chance been watching the Guv'nor have you Redimus? It's just that's the only time I've heard someone use that phrase, you're not part of the grand order of the bar stewards are you?

I'm on holiday next week (off to Bristol, and will be near Somerset) anyone from either place on here that can reccommend a good TF stockist in the area's please?

Thanks

Ok i am one very disgruntled Brit right now!

I've just got back from the shops. I was looking for Classics 2-pack Ultra Magnus & Skywarp because im planning to do a G1 Ultra Magnus kitbash/repaint. I had to go to 3 Woolworths, 2 Argos, 1 Entertainer and 1 Toys'r'us before i finally found one in Woolworths in Watford. Very happy bunny.

Got home, opened it and have just found that one of parts on the left arm is a right arm part! Wont say in robot mode and can't be fixed! I'm so pissed off. Has anyone else had this problem? Gotta go all the way back now!

Can anyone tell me where i can find an iron hide - ive been looking in the northeast but im willing to travel a little further afield if nessicairy, hell would be a fun random day out anyway.

Any in your area guys - none in my local TRU at teeside and ill be checking out the metro centre today

I've been having a little think and given that there's no Auto Assembly this year it occured to me that the opening for the movie may be the best excuse we have this summer for some forum meet ups. Obviously trying to get anything national aranged would be impractical but would anybody be interested in getting together for some regional meets on opening night? The way I see things it's a good excuse to get together with some like minded folks, do a bit of toy shopping, grab a couple of beers and have some immediate feedback/discussion on the movie when we've actually seen the damned thing. Any takers?

I dunno about northeast but it seems now that nearly TF movie figures including Ironhide. Try somewhere you least expect like Sainsburys. Oh and Argos are dumb...they have all the TF movie stuff in stock but not in the catalogue so you need to go ask a member of staff if they can show you.

Im up for that, I live in the North East wit hreasonably good access to Darlington, Teeseide, Newcastle and Metro Center.

While Leeds is probaly easiest for me I was thinking that Newcastle might be doable for those of us from the NE and Southern Scotland.

just incase this gets out of hand with number of posts on the topic I should point out that the last thing I want to do is hijack the thread, but figured that this would be where most Brits were likely to see the suggestion. Does anyone think it would be worth starting a seperate thread to discuss possable movie meets if this starts to get too much traffic?

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:11 am

A bit closer to the time, probably, you dont wanna post it too soon, the mods are reasons unknown very anal about such threads poping up too often.

by **Airlift** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:28 pm

If anyone else here from East Anglia wanted to meet up (especially if you're from Suffolk like me) I'd be up for a meet up, don't think there's any other Suffolk based TF fans on here apart from me
