Finally after many a fruitless search of everywhere within driving distance near me, i found some Movie deluxes!! So i just wanted to share my joy with you guys and also some info on where i found them for the uk people.

Quite unexpectedly (was looking for paint for the bathroom!) in the shop 'Wilkinson' they had, wreckage, brawl, Jazz and barricade but also they had classics Ramjet and the Titanium Ultra Magnus

Also in an Asda superstore they had, wreckage,brawl,scorpinok,barricade and bumblebee

Heres a couple of pics of my haul

Cant tell you how happy i was to take those pics lol

cheers!!

Sweet!

Very happy that people are finding what they want!

Question.. When your wreckage is in vehicle mode do the wheels touch the ground and roll or do some of them roll because its not completely touching the ground?

hmm let me see...

On the ground all the wheels do appear to touch the ground and roll but when i look closely it looks as if the wheels second from the front are just very slightly higher than the rest...But they do roll fine and touch the ground.

hmmm interesting.. I bought that one a couple months back and loved the robot mode but in vehicle mode all the tires didnt touch the ground and that turned me off to him so I took him back.

Thats a shame, but you did the right thing in taking him back what i described is barely noticable and doesnt affect the movement or look of the vehicle on the ground.

Must have been a dodgy one i guess. my protoform primes legs are wobbly as hell, i suppose i should have taken him back when i had the chance!!

Wait, somethings different about those movie deluxes... on the bottom right corner of the box, it shows the whole body of the bot instead of just the head :-?

Standard for European packaging. Character art isn't allowed as it could be considered misleading. Of all the things to be strictly enforced in the UK, they pick character art...

Yup, Movie deluxes, Classics wave 2 and Tit Mags/Megs have been popping up in Wilkinsons all over the country, and then flying rapidly off the shelves again...

Come to the ODB to discuss it more (link in sig)

Nice grab. And I that's pretty weird for the UK to not have the Character Art. BTW, is that Giant Black Spot on your Bumblebee the same for every single figure?

Somewhat bizzarely though the voyager prime / 08 bumblebee 2pack on sale at argos has the character art which made me think its imported. Can you get this set in the states?
