Best of british Leo...

Time for Peep Show, M+W doing what they do best (and not advertising daft toy computers made from boiled sweets...)

See you all later...

I do own them and I must say they are of amazing quality overall. I'm impressed and they are near enough Hasbro 84 quality


Cool, just bought them.

I'm repainting my Energon Towline. He's been screaming at me from his shelf for years for a repaint.
I would'a reposted sooner, but I don't like to use my mate's pc when I'm over there. He has booze that tastes like buttercream! :grin:

In Northampton TRU the other day, there were plenty of Classics Jetfire, Starscream and Prime and Megatron twinpacks, a few Rodimus and Bumblebee, an absolute king's ransom of Classics legends and a few leftover Cybertron deluxes. Still got a fair amount of G1 Tracks, Red Alert, Inferno and Prowl, Cybertron Primus, Galaxy Force Vector Prime, Quickmix and Menasor and I did see one or two Wing Sabers. And finally there are still a load of Masterpiece Primes there, both the original and the repainted versions.

I couldn't live without TRU. When Woolworths and The Entertainer left the tf stocking biz, TRU was the only shop close to me that stocked tfs. They never dissappointed me.
Things have gotten better tf-wise recently. But I haven't been to TRU since January! If I don't go sonn I think I'll go insane!

If you could look for me, I'd really appreciate it! I went to TRU and Downshift was gone. I tried Woolworths, the Entertainer, John Lewis, even T.K. Maxx, but no joy.

I really don't want to have to spend the £4.95 delivery charge for one figure from TRU's website.

Hello disgruntled brits!

Since I've got a kid on the way I've decided to _cough_ buy a few toys in advance for them and might sneak in some smaller ones that would fit on my desk.

I've already ordered Classics Cliffjumper from Play.com as it's in the sale and Cliffjumper was my very first Transformer.

Anyway, after a good few days websearching I can't find a Legends of Cybertron Starscream (yeah, that one's for me!) anywhere - any ideas where to try?

Actually looking further the $28.00 delivery is a guide price it's $10.00 making it all $16.99 - under my £10.00 limit. If I buy (probable) I'll post my experience of ToyWiz in case other brits decide to use them.
