dude no need to pics, jus general opinion on the guy, paint apps, articulation, how it fits in ur collection, general worth, general price worth, whether u like it or not

tbh i'm leaning towards the frenzy rumble repaints, but the guys are the same mold and ur the only person whos mentioned they've got the geezer

btw guys who reckons the new generations figures like drift are gonna get the henkei treatment? i reli hope so, a chrome sword would be beautiful

He is a cool Figure nice Paint apps, good Articulation and Posibility Easy transformation Highly Recomended 5 stars and his price is cheap on Kapow Toys and get the repaints aswell they look great so I recomend all 3 off them

: Definatly get him if you can

Hi all,

I used to post regularly about 18 months ago but I've come out of the woodwork again now the Generations Figures are arriving!

I'm after a PS3 as my PC can't cope with that version but it's an expensive time (just caught up on all the legends my little boy 'mini-collider' wants, picked up a shedload of DVDs, hopefullying buying a new house and buying at least 3 versions of WFC, that'll be 4 if I get a PS3! the PC games sale on Steam has not been helpful!)

Anyway I'm hoping my DS WFC-Decepticons will be waiting for me when I get home, complete with the freebie Cybertron Legends Starscream repaint.

I've actually signed up to Freebie Jeebies to try and get a free PS3 by referring people for offers, I did the Lovefilm trial as I'd never tried them before and hired all the TFA dvds! Anyway it didn't cost me anything and if I get 11 mates to do the same I get a 120Gb Slim PS3 so it might be worth a try.
Just in case anyone's interested following if you follow this link it'll also net me a referral if you go for it http://ps3.freebiejeebies.co.uk/28507. Gawd, it's hard to write this without it coming across as a sales pitch but if anyone's as eager as me to play WFC on a decent console you might find it useful and that's why I'm posting about it.

My want list at the moment:
TF: WFC Exodus Book
Cybertron Adventures on Wii (after price drop)
DS WFC - Autobots (after price drop)
PS3 & WFC
WFC Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave & Cliffjumper (surprise!)
ROTF Activators Prime & Bumblebee
ROTF Legends Ravage (x2)
G1 Legends Prime, Prowl, Starscream & Megatron (all x2)
PCC Grimstone
Also interested in the TFClub (TFC EX-004) targetmaster Megatron, Rodimus & Starscream.

Hey guys, I just ordered Generations: Drift from this website for a pretty good price, shipping is abit of a rip though but it's understandable

http://www.midcotoyplanet.com/

Check it out if you like, they have WFC Prime and Bee instock aswell as Generations: Thrust and Drift

I usually prefer http://www.kapow-toys.com/, usually only £2.50 P&P per package but I gather they are of stock for Drift & Thrust. Mind you they don't always get Legends in and I've mostly been concentrating them lately, execpt for Alternity Cliffy & the Arker's 'Cliffjumpor' Movie Cliffy with a remoulded head (it's pretty cool but sadly doesn't quite 'settle' in car mode).

I'm hopeful Generations will see decent bricks & mortar distribution so I'll try and pick up Prime & Bumblebee there and take a view on ordering Megatron & Soundwave based on how easy it is to get Prime & Bee. Cliffy is gonna get pre-ordered though!

Still no WFC-Decepticons in the post yet. Is it wrong to be more excited about the free gift repaint of a mold I already have 7 versions of?

Someone's just beaten me to a 4 month old 250GB PS3 Slim with Battlefield Bad Company 2, God of War 3 & Uncharted 2 Among Thieves for £150.00 advertised on our Internal Classifieds at work. Grrr.

My Brother in Law keeps recommending any of the battlefield series on the PC (he used to head up one of the highest rated clans for Vietnam version) and I'm better with a mouse (read shockingly bad with a controller!). I'm gonna have to get a "Frag N Stein" Mouse/Nunchuck thingy if I do get a PS3.

Drift does look good but he falls in the whole lack of space issues I have and it's only going to get worse when the next baby (Worlds Smallest Mini-collider) arrives. Still when that one gets into TFs that's more I can buy on the sly! I'd be semi-tempted by Thrust too but I've never been that keen on the coneheads.

Starscream and WFC Decepticons arrived today. G1 paint app Cybertron Legends Starscream is teh sex, seriously shop.to has more in stock just buy WFC there! I normally rage against the whole repaint thing but when you've got a good mold a great paint app well I just want to cry out "give us Thundercracker & Dirge!" I'm off to play with him some more! Might fire up the game later too!

EDIT: Chuffing Heck Electron I've just read your BF:BC2 stats, How many hours!!! I struggle to maintain a 1.5 Kills to death ratio in Team Fortress 2, anything else I get fragged so quickly!

yeh the battlefield series is immense, i used to play bf2142 like religiously, was ranked 2nd in the world for 1 week and 3rd in the world for 2 weeks after that, as the top 3 ranks we based on weekly scores/averages, was asked to a few clans but i play for funsies reli

as for bad company 2 ano wht u mean with the whole controller thing, i'm still getting used to it, i easily prefer a keyboard and mouse

i have to say the game is super addictive, my K:D would be in its 2:0 if i didnt have such a gung-ho attitude

but congrats on the new baby matey, adding another S_C to ur collection ey

hasbro UK has poor distribution so you mite be waitin a while =D

Just a heads' up: my local independent comic shop has wave one deluxe Generations. I don't think they're imported US versions, but I'll know more next week when I pick up my Drift he's holding for me (damn having to wait for pay day! He's got an Allspark Almanac vol. 2 for me, as well!).

One thing I did notice: he had already sold out of WfC 'Bees, so I assume there aren't many in a case. He had my Drift, WfC OP and a pair of Thrusts left.

Photos next Friday or Saturday!

cool welcome to the sightings thread WingDagger

i personally can't wait to get my hands on drift, but is anyone else waiting to see what takara offers us in the form of henkei?

heres something i've been thinking about though, can takara henkei up dirge and thrust? because they were released as gambo shop exclusives?

what you reckon guys?

but blurr henkei'd up would be amazing
