I thought there was some legal minimum time they had to be on sale at the higher price to claim it as a reduction? (Unless they're using some smaller Woolies stores to fulfil that requirement...)

I would assume they're using the Big W's as the main selling point, but using the smaller woolies stores across the UK to maintain supplies, therefore making the rest of the toys reduced in price.

YEY i got the Micron Legends version of Wheeljack!

And I also got the Micron legends version of Hotshot.
Who I have now dubed an Arsemaster.
Due to his minicon attaching to his arse like some kinda freak.

But yeah, Wheljack easily one of the best Armada/Micron Legends toys.

I've got my UM/SW twinpack for £14.99, ordered from the catalogue. Ordered on Monday and arrived ready to pick up on Thursday morning, no fuss no bother.

its odd that in the tesco catalogue, the pics of the UM/SW pack is of the G1 reissue skywarp and titanium magnus

It's the same in the WW catalogue. It just shows us that they have no clue what they are actually selling.

Most of the Armada figures reminded me of expensive happy meal toys. Same level of detail and articulation for the most part. But then there were the gems like Tidalwave, WheelJack and Prime. I love em so much.

Change my statement, only Armada Autobots look like happy meal toys

So, I was fiddling with Shortround, thinking, "This chap should be flanked by some Seacons," while eating my breakfast this morning. His right leg popped off and splished into my bowl of Shreddies. Moral of the story: don't play with your food.

Arrgh, if a toilet fell in my cereal I think I'd just have toast.

I got my Transformers Monopoly...so thats hours of fun

Has anyone ever had a telephone call from the number 0161 277 7500? It looks like a Manchester number, but every time I ring it back I get a prolonged tone instead of any ringing. I've had missed calls from it for the past two days.

BBTS. The box is a little dinged on the bottom where someone's dropped it

Dunno - The only thing that it might be is something where you call the number and you get charged premium rate for the call?

maybe one day, we'll look back on the movie toys and see how much of an eyesore they actually are

And maybe someday, you'll realise just how wrong you are about the movie figs (except Scorponok). Although, you seem to hate them quite a lot...

You're not the only one. I will see the movie out of interest, but I won't pick up the toys.

I've tried pretty much every line since G1 (missed out on beast era only) i had G1, G2, RiD, Armada, Energon, tried a few cybertron too. The movie line is awful, they're awful designs...they've got good alt modes...then that all changes when you transform them...then they become ugly messes of something unidentifiable
