I can't disclose that information...i'm a SECRET TF agent.

However i'm gonna try bag all the TF display stuff when it comes down. So if anyone wants some i'll let you know what i get. But i've claimed the Bumblebee as my own.

Just got back from my local TRU and they have a lot of FABs, so I left them well alone. They have no Deluxe unless you count the Protoforms. Shame cos I wanted to grab the lot.

Just been to Teeside TrU.

No none Protoform Deluxes to be seen. None at all. :(

Finally got primus (isnt he small?) and the final Real Gear of this wave (the handheld game one, cruddy paint aps, and his legs look better backwards, nice automorph though).

Also got the Scaleletrix set, it is NOT on the Buy 1 get 1 half price offer, though is on another offer where you get £5 off. Not tried it out yet, cuase it takes up more room than I was expecting. Yeah, the transformations are pants, but Ive never had a set of my own, so it felt like a good excuse to me! :P

Also, I really like the look of Fab Brawl, I think I will get him sooner or later.

I liked the idea of the Real Gears but after seeing them I didnt feel like I had to have them so they stayed on the racks. For some reason they look like they should be on sale in a newsagents for £1.99.

Now, if they could produce full size working kit that transformed that would be a different matter.

Longview is one of the best movie toys out there. The camera one is a bit lopsided, but very fun too, the phone is the weakest, but still very fun, and the only real complaint I have of the game one is the poor paint aplication.

The protoforms arent actully that bad you know. VERY nice and posable robot modes, fun (and reasonably clever) transformations, and the alt modes only look slightly like turds/rocklords.

Glad to hear that Barricade, Jazz and BB have been spotted in the UK. Personally im gonna wait until TRU get them in.

Anyway, I've got a question. Asda is owned by Walmart...if Asda wasn't such a well known name, it would be Walmart. So does this mean that the Walmart exclusive toys will be sold in Asda?

Doubtful. But by all means hope! I'd love to see that Anime accurate MP SS in an Asda.

It's more likely TRU or WW will get him in though. Asda are more about poor quality clothing and cheap-ass food. Which I'm all for. I like food.

Even if you pass on the rest I heartily recommend Longview as being a very good figure.

Aren't HMV going under now? Why would they stock new things just for them to go on sale within a week?

Not that I'm complaining. I'd love to have the boxset for cheap.


I already plan to go and buy my Ipod library as a backup from HMV. Most of me library is net downloaded, so I really want the actual albums as backup. And for £3 for each CD, it's better than buying CDRs and burning them myself. Much better quality.


Finally got reissue Prowl. Seems it was just my local TRU that didn't stock him. Went to Merry Hill and he was all over the shop. Just Inferno to go now.


I am quite impressed by the movie display in TRU. From floor to ceiling posters of Prime aren't to be sniffed at.

Went to Sainsburys in Reading (Calcot) a little earlier and picked up Wreckage, Barricade, Brawl and Scorponok.

They had a load of Bumblebee and a couple of Barricades left and maybe another Scorponok.
I nabbed the only ones on the shelf of Wreckage and Brawl :grin:

No sign of Jazz though :sad:

Then it's worked out well for you! Buy what you want to get him before they're finished. The good bit is you get the present for cheaper!

HMV is going under? I hadn't heard anything about that. Can't say I'm surprised though. They are expensive unless they are having a sale on.
