I saw some TF Attacktix (SP?) in TK MAXX near me last week, they were £4.99 which is not all that cheap. I think they're kinda' lame so I didn't feel the need to post a any sightings.

I remember seeing RID cars and Armada minicons in the Glasgow TJ Hughes once.

Were the Unicrons Orange? (I missed picking up the recouloured one)

If it was Armada Unicron, it will have been orange (the recolor was energon).

If it was the blind packed attacktix 2 packs, then that isnt cheap at all concidering it's the exact same price as at TrU. If it is the starter set with 4 or em in it, then it is pretty cheap, seing as it's half the price.

I found him in Home Bargains one day for £14.99...not cheap, but that was the day I snagged the Universe Devastator micromasters for 49p per micromaster

Yeah, my mate got them there for that price.

Me?

No he never bothered to tell me, I had to wait until TrU did em for full fecking price plus interest... grrr.
(mind I could aford em, cuase unlike my mate, I actully have a job.

a mere £3 for 6 micromasters, plus gestalt parts....bargain in my opinion

Oh yeah, I forgot that was Energon

I'm sure the Attacktix set was the 4 pack.

That's pretty good value then.

I quite like the attacktix, now if I could only find someone to play with me...


That came out wrong.

Is £11.99 a good price for Classics Ramjet?

Where's that from?

If you can wait long enough, Argos n TrU (and maybe woolies) will probably stock him eventully for a tenner. But online that's not too bad.

Yeah, it is isnt it. When do they dispatch him (it's still on preorder isnt it?).

I ordered Ramjet, Cliffjumper and Grimlock from Play, they should start shipping in a few days.

I've just got Bumblebee and Starscream, I'm still mulling over the Jetfire figure. Optimus will eventually be on the hitlist . Grimlock definitely, and the same for Ramjet because he was the first Decepticon that I ever had.

I wouldn't say there's a single figure in the Classics line that isn't worth at least considering.
Not including mincons and LoC of course.

Good news about the new Titanium releases. Not too bothered if the joints on WWI Prime are loose, he's a brilliant looking figure. In fact, do we know if we're getting the rerelease of WWI Prime, where they sorted the loose joints?

I didnt think they had solved the joints problem.

I swear I heard somewhere some time back they'd fixed it and rereleased, but I may just be being hopeful about that. Either way, I'm still buying him. HE looks beautiful in both moulds.

This is true.

It was at Botcon last year - I think it was Don or one of the hasbro guys that said they hoped to rerelease an improved WWI Prime and GI Megs (as a 2 pack??). No more news since though.

just reading thru the back log of posts on here and have started to wonder about the security of myMP Megatron wit xybertoys Ive allways had great experiences with them in the past - last thing i got from them was all of te wave 1 classics shipped for less than retail is over in england but reading the posts on here seems to mae me thin they may have lapsed recently.

Can anyone give meany indictaction on how xybertoys are performing service wise lately?

Ive had no problem servicewise with him recently. Though that could be becuase only new things he's had that Ive wanted were waaaay overpriced. (It seems after the excelently priced first wave of deluxes, he's decided to make the Classics as expensive as hell.) Also only shipping the Titainiums in twos or threes has won him no favours with me, cuase it means I'd potentially have to buy doubles or ones i dont want to get all the ones I do want. And they're pretty damn expensive too.

It took them about 2 and half weeks to get to me, but I got my stuff off them in the end. I'd use them again, now I know to use NoChex instead of mailing off a postal order. Maybe it was my fault, who knows?

But otherwise..I'd use em again

Last order from Xybertoys took about two weeks to get to me. I was a little annoyed at first as they said 2-3 days and I heard nothing from them, but I sent an email and Aaron replied saying what was what. Apparently they had a rush/delay/hinderance/good time at Christmas but it's all fine. I was just being tetchy, because I'm a miserable git.

In my experiance, they've always taken a couple of weeks to deliver. And I ALWAYS use paypal.

Today I am disgrutled about a Transformer, but it isn't Hasbro's fault. Was transforming my RM Starsaber and one of the pegs on his wrists broke, so he won't hold together in vehicle mode.

So I manage to avoid the usual complaint about the figure breaking, and it breaks in an entirely different way.
