I would absolutely LOVE it if someone were able to help me out w/ the 3 variants that have been located thus far (Brimstone, Bodyblock & Cloudraker). I would be more than happy to gift a buyer a PayPal payment for the figures, shipping + a little extra for helping out a fellow Mini-Con collector that just happens to live in the U.S.

If anyone is willing and can help me out please e-mail me directly: flywheels@yahoo.com

I would really like a Bodyblock please! I have no problem hooking the UK peeps up with US product.

THanks in advance!

Greg

I'd like to throw my hat into the ringer for these as well. I'd preferably like to buy an unopened box that these come in as I'd prefer to open them myself. I know they're blind-packed, but buying a whole box should help ensure that I get a complete set.

I'd obviously like to photograph these and document them for everyone to see. Which means I'd actually have to finally do the original versions of these that I've been putting off for a rainy (snowy?) day.

You know what? I'm gonna go with Ryan on this, if anyone can get me a box as well i'll grab one.

Just remember, i'm in Australia so we actually DO get TF's out here, so if there's something you want let me know and i'll see if I can help you out as well.

I'd see what I can do but tesco petrol station staff are not the kind to gladly help a customer by digging out the whole box or bothering to order another in for someone. Actually I don't know how you'd be able to get a whole unopened case... I'd love to say I'd send you guys some as a swap for reveal the shield stuff but I don't think I'd be able to get my hands on the quantities you're looking at. (god we need jazz so much more than 3 variant mini-cons...)

Hey Wasp-
If you can secure a Bodyblock for me, I will make sure you get your Jazz!

Mon Dec 13, 2010 10:12 pm

I don't usually post here, but I'm a long time viewer of seibertron.com. However, I would like a set of the variants/remolds if anyone can get to them. PM me if you can be kind as to sell them to me.

Thank You
Joey

if I get any duplicates, I'll let people know through either the uk sightings forum or here. Pm me if you want them (that's if I get any, I've already got the original 12 pack so there isn't really a reason for me to actively hunt these down.)

Same here, I'm totally up for supplying (or swapping for anybody's own spare mini-cons!) if there are any left in my local shop.

The first Brimstone I find is mine though, I love that mould. That reminds me, I'm after Classics Nightscream, and I'll gladly do a swap for one of these new guys!

I live in the US. Got plenty of minicons to trade. Looking for at least the three variants. Would like a complete set of twelve if available. Let me know.

Tesco Express/Petrol Station actually get them delivered on the hanging strips. The best chance to get a full box is from The Entertainer if they have any left.

To all my UK transfans who are able to pick these Mini-cons. I have $100 for anyone that can find me the UK variant Roadblock.

Please help me out.
Thank you!

$100? ... nah I just want jazz, not money.
I would firmly (virtually) shake your hand and say this is a deal. If you can get me reveal the shield special ops jazz, I WILL get you a bodyblock sooner or later, I swear.

I have let my "CLoudraker" go to a US fan. I figured I was would be able to replace it easier than he would be able to find one. If anyone finds a double, please hook me up

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · Fri Dec 17, 2010 8:58 am

I found a heavytread last night, only difference is the new one looks crappier. The face sculpt has degenerated and the colour looks off (but not different).
Plus I just noticed on the back of the packet where the figures are shown it says "colours may vary".

Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:35 pm

OK I sent a message to The Little Factor asking how many Blind Packs were in each case, and if a full set was obtainable from a case.

Here's the reply they gave me;

"In each outer of 10 packs there are a reasonable spread of the 12 figures to collect. They are currently on sale in Tesco Petrol Stations but other distribution will be available in January leading up to the next movie launch in July 2011. The figures are a duplication of the range previously available in America and Australia."

News Credits: 4 · Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:45 pm

so basically, "we don't know, this isn't the management speak you're looking for"?

more distribution is good news though.

I picked up a couple tonight. Makeshift and Backstop, who seem to be the same as the ones on the back of the pack.

At least you got a reply, they just bloody ignored me.

So these come in sets of ten, with nothing shortpacked?

The bit where they say these are a duplication of ones already available in the USA and Oz, well they're not are they? We've found three different just by looking over a few days!!
Fancy that, a UK based company, selling Transformers, that doesn't know their product range. Remind you of anyone? ;-p

I just figured out Backstop comes packaged mistranformed. I kept taking the legs off (one had popped off in the bag) and swapping them about, then finally realised how they were meant to be in vehicle mode.

Another thing, I don't know anything much about these TFs, but the picture of Makeshift shows his "hands" reversed from the way they are on my version. Could be the picture is just flipped, or maybe he's been assembled as an "ultra-rare exclusive variant"?

As it is, I'm not sure I like these for the money more than I would a 2 packs of oversized KO Mini-cons that are in Poundland right now, but they're actually a lot bigger than the Mini-cons I remember from the Armada days, and fairly decent so far. The Tesco garage I got them in also had My Little Pony packages of the same sort of size, y'know in case anyone is actually buying these as stocking stuffers for kids.

kids? who are these people you speak of? toys are made for us adult collectors.

News Credits: 4 · Sat Dec 18, 2010 6:17 pm

ok then, in case there are any My Little Pony collectors here, there's some kind of MLP equivalent to these Mini-Cons.

Tue Dec 21, 2010 1:12 am

Hi,

I'm still looking for the three variant minicons. I've got Generations Turbo Tracks, Special Ops Jazz, Thunderwing, and Cliffjumper to trade. I also have many other toys that I'm willing to trade. Please contact me.

Thanks

My local Tesco petrol station finally have these out to buy.

I have bought 8 so far but already have 3 duplicates. I have 1x Heavytread (red tank) and 2x Cloudrakers (green Apache style chopper).
