£25 for a voyager? Blackout was £22.99 from FP (they had none in woolies). A shop sells tf's at a higher price than FP? Wonders never cease.

lol They never do.

And that's what I always do to the shop assistant. Bring em all on out for a party at the desk. Best way of getting what you want that.

Yey, Leader movie Prime is teh sex!

BUY HIM NOW!

(Then take out the batteries, those sounds that happen everytime you use the automorph feature to get the head/chest transformed are so annoying after 3 transformations it is truly unbeleivable.)

You bought him then. Don't you think the bot mode is a lil out of proportion?

Either way, I'm going for the Voyager class version. I love voyager figures.

Thought i'd just report that i went to HMV today to pick up the new 1986 movie dvd and spotted some cool stuff.

HMV now sell Transformers Movie Top Trumps, a movie Autobot logo shirt in beige and have a selection of 8 movie posters, the Prime one was really nice.

I didn't expect to see the Top Trumps in the UK yet, they aren't that nice really.

My only real complaints are the back of legs and back kibble, and the increadimly easy to chip paint on randomly colored plastic.

Dick, the movie toys *almost* make the bayformers standable, and are very good examaples of tfs (so long as you ignore megatron).

Movie Prime's great,
Noises aren't too annoying, grates a bit when he keeps sounding his horn while you change him to a truck tho.

Still the best movie toy so far tho.

Cheers,
Doug

The good: Finally found G1 Ti. Magnus at Argos.
The bad: He's back at full price - big surprise.

Had to laugh though - the woman at the counter actually new who he was.

Has anybody found any movie deluxes or the Ratchet FAB?

by **HugeBadWolf** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:38 am

No signs anywhere I've been,
Suspect we may have a genuine reason to be Disgruntled in the making....

Been to TRU today and they had all the usual TF stuff in.
First time I've seen the 23rd(?) anniversary prime on sale. The one with the blue gun and the stand.
I must say I LOLed at the quality voice work on the stand. :lol:

From the movie products the prize for most amusing goes to the Optimus Prime Gift-set, which is a plasitc box with Movie Prime's face containing an autobot logo sponge and some bubble bath. The special feature of the box is pushing a button which slides Prime's faceplate appart revealing what passes for his face beneath it. On the one I picked up to try the faceplate got stuck leaving only his ugly face on show.
Needless to say I didn't buy one....

Just picked up leader class Prime and Megatron from Doncaster ToysRUs. Buy one get one 1/2 price. There were two of each so now only one of each left.
As for the new display... :APPLAUSE:

That's funny that is. There seems to be an increasing number of people admitting to knowing about tfs. Damn you movie, you make me feel socially acceptable!

I've seen some LoC movie Rachet around. It looks so horrible, I actually hid it behind some action men.

Hi Chaps,

Not much to report - just moved to Ireland last night from London - cue a 14 hour car-ferry-car ride. At least it was fun driving.

Nowt to report on the TF front yet - but I reckon I'll be able to help out with Irish sitings soon!

Glad you arrived safely mate,
14 hours on a ferry has definitely earned you a pint or two

Cheers,

Second page (again)....

Got the Movie Top Trumps yesterday,

More squishy character cards than robots

Cheers,

by **HugeBadWolf** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 8:38 am

Nope,
No voyagers in Reading apart from Protoforms,
Suspect will end up caving in and getting Proto Prime soon...

Is it me, or is the TF: Infiltration trade paperback rarer than rocking horse droppings?

Ive seen (and bought) Stormbringer, ive seen (and not yet bought) escalation, ive seen Beast Wars, I've seen the Prime vs Megs though the ages book, i have yet to see ANYWHERE Infiltraion!

And once again second page, come on people, seriously!

News Credits: 1 · by **Kaijubot** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 4:00 am

Saw all three in my local Forbidden Planet on wednesday, in equal quantities on the shelf.

News Credits: 2 · by **Insurgent** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 4:29 am

Saw 1 Infiltration when it first came out. Saw 1 Escalation when it first came out. Saw 2 Stormbringers when they first came out (Storbringer being the only one I got because I got the others individually). After about 2 weeks, they vanished. Still in is one of each BW:gathering, Evolutions, and Generations (at least last time I looked a few weeks ago). I don't know what the Prime/Megs through the ages is.

All were in FP. Travelling Man only had the Stormbringer when it first came out. None of the others made it there. Though they did have a cover issue, which had an image of Jazz on the front and SS on the back (the thumbnails of them in the front of the Infltration issues). No idea if the inside was the same though I'm assuming so.

I just hope Meg origin/Devastation onwards appear, because I'm only getting the TPB's from now on.

It's a collection of diferent Issues throught out the ages with battles between prime and megs, it includes a battle from the origanal Marvel series, the one where megs kicks seven shades of **** out of prime with his new alt mode, then steals the matrix in G2, the battle for autobot city from the animated movie comic, the firght (i think) from infiltration, and I beleive a WWi fight.

In all honesty, not worth picking up, as i have or intend to get most of those properly sooner or alter anyway.

Guys i dont mean to be a bitch but this is a UK Toys thread. Go to the comics forum if you wanna talk about this.

P.S loving the way all the different comics storylines are beginning to link up.

Not quite bud. This is where we Disgruntled Brits bitch about everything. And have done for a damned long time. We ain't gonna change that anytime soon. KTHNX.
