Yeah, I think it was entered wrong. Either they put the decimal point in the wrong place, or it's the wrong picture.

Damn! - actually 2-3 pages back. Didn't look far back enough!

This is good news. I've been looking for Prowl for quite a while in store, and just as some more moolah comes in!
Hopefully, Inferno will follow suit shortly.

I a still annoyed that I didn't get Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod all those years ago. And in the only Forbidden Planet I have ever seen I saw Skids. Didn't get him. Curses.

Um... prowls been in TrUs for AGES...

I got the bugger last summer in TrU Hull, and he (and the other 3 or 4 reissues that are out) have filled a fair shelf space in every TrU I've been in since.

Jazz was the first reissue i saw a long while back and since then i've only seen skywarp, tracks and red alert.

tracks and red alert are all that have been clogging the shelves at the TRU near me and today was the first time i saw Prowl. there were only 4 boxes so dunno if it was some surplus that online stores couldn't shift.

another good thing was because of the buy one get one half price offer, i got real gear spyshot 6 for £3 my first movie toy and man is it impressive I read it had good articulation but this just blows me away.

now i've got a craving for the rest of the real gears but i'm trying to cut down to just maintaining a small G1 and masterpiece collection so i will probably be selling alot of my TF's quite possibly the classics as well (I just felt disappointment with every one i got after my initial classics megs).

Well Ive seen Prowls in Hull, Gateshead (near the Metrocenter), and Teeseide over the last year.

Which is odd.

Just got a haul of movie deluxes sent over from the states and im loving them lots. Wreckage and barricade are awesome really like them in both modes. Jazz dosnt look a lot like his movie model but ireally like it - its allmost halfway between a classic an a movie toy.
Wreckage and swindle are great additions as well - hpe wreckage is in the game cos he has an awesome air about him and i would like to see a more fleshed out character for it.

But BoneCrusher!
Man what a pile of ass.
His robot mode looks like some sort of unnatural fusion between E.T and a gorrila. I cant even bring myself to unfold his arms all the way. The face is the worst part for me it just looks like a pissed off mummified raisin. the gimmick is poor and theres not even any automorph. At least its saved me a little money because now i know i will defiantly not be getting the voyager class - what ever they do to it for me the design is beyond redemption

Thats one disgruntled Brit.

I, on the other hand, am feeling quite chipper. I plan to take myself off to town tomorrow and see if I can't come home with an arm full of movie figures that I dont already own.

I think I need a new network card.

The current one has a habbit of taking for ever to lad pages for no good reason at a random time. When this happens it gets REALLY fustrating, and generally results in having to close the brouser then reopening it until it starts to load things again for 2 mins, then stops. I tend ot get angry. I tend to punch the desk. THS-02's Roller tends ot roll off my speaker. I got so sick of this I launched him in some random direction. One of his exhaust things snaped off.

wel not Exactly entirely disgruntled 5 out of the 6 figures i got yesterday are awesome and i cant seem to put jazz or brawl down.
They all make blackout look kinda small tho as he fits into the group quite easily without looking at all like he is infact a voyager class.

Good luck finding movie figures you dont own yet all I ever see in stores tends to be Blackout and Ratchet with leader classs optimus and megatron in some of the larger ones

I was very un-disgruntled this morning. Went into Reading TRU and found myself voyager Ironhide and Starscream movie figs. Didn't seem to have any other new stuff, although i did pick up The Transformers Scalextric set!



One more thing. I don't know how common this is but one of the faction symbols on my Ratchet packaging is wrong.
Maybe he's a double agent..........

IRONHIDE AND SCREAMER IN TRU
been hoping to find these 2 for ages.
~Grabs coat and runs off to check his local store~

Yes coat i know it should be one of the hottest days of the year but Thor god of thunder has beset the northeast with his terrible wrath

So I was at the press screening in London yesterday for the movie and I am still on cloud 9!!!!

It is un-freaking-believeable. Well worth going to see. Even my dad who went with me as my guest who isn't a Transformers fan loved it.

I know everyone has been scared about whether Bay did a good job or not. Trust me it rocks. Plus most fans will appreciate all the in jokes and references!

Woah yeah i didnt notice before, but i just checked my box and its the same as yours. Naughty two-faced Ratchet.

I hate how the distribution of transformers is so uneven.

I've never seen Prowl in a TRU near me. YET. Maybe tides are slowly changing?

I dont have Starscream or Ironhide. That makes me sad. Didnt get out today, too busy lying under a Mini. Will try to get up TRU tomorrow though!

The only reason Blackout is a Voyager class is cos his alt mode is too long to fit in a lower class size box!

Is the Scalelectrix good? I seriously concidering getting it.

I hadn't touched a Scalextric set for about 6 years until i got that one this morning. But me and my sisters boyfriend were racing for well over an hour after setting it up.
The transformation is a bit pointless (kinda like little cyber slammers but you have to open them up by hand) but as cars they really do whizz round the track well.
I have to admit that the layout of the track is a little worrying. There are 3 points where the cars are encouraged to smash together. While it gives you a good feel of Bumblebee and Barricade 'battling' each other, i worry about how long it would be before one or both cars suffered some significant bodywork damage.

Whoah, sorry 'bout that. Just realised how much i typed.

In short, i think it's a great little set !

Well it's 40 quid, but there is a chance that it's included in the buy one get one half price deal. But i can't confirm that.

£40, that's a fair whack o cash.

Anychance of some phots of the track set up, perhaps with one of the other movie toys next ot it for comparison?

Sure .....

Can that track integrate with "normal" Scalextric track?
