Has anyone been into a TRU lately? Most of the West Midlands and North-East seems dry of MP Grimlocks.

Maybe not, after much effort I've come to terms with that. A shame, but oh well.

Would you be willing to help me out though mate? I'd be most greatful, compensatingly so you might say

Neurie- indeed, every TRU I've called have said they all sold out two weeks ago. Was there a mad rush of scalpers, rich kids and nostalgic adults or something? Madness! I really thought Grimmy would be available into the new year like Skywarp and Prime before him. :???:

Neurie, I'm gonna have to have to have my name taken of the list...
I JUST FOUND A TRACKS IN MY LOCAL SMYTHS!!!
I never thought I'd say this but... Hasbro uk, thank you for giving me a reveal the shield figure to open on Christmas day.
Woooo!
Btw they had jazz and a couple of mindsets too, strangely though I saw no fallbacks.

Hasblo love Messing with me, They release figures earlier than they say so I pay extra online to get them when Hasblo are releasing them in Smyths at the price of a Scout. There isn't even a Smyth's near me. Why do you hate me so much Hasblo WHY!!!!

I don't think they're aware of that fact though.

Also there's been problems with delays on post going via snail mail through Europe adding to their woes.

Don't expect any deliveries this side of Christmas.

I'm only last two night shifts of work tonight so will keep an eye out for any jazz/tracks/new bits and will buy them all if I can and post here to helps peeps out. Can always return them if not needed.

They have gone really quick then.

Boughty friend in the US all the minion sweet packs the entertainer had and can't find anymore now

I'd love a Jazz if you can. PM me if you get one and I'll sort you out for that and postage (paypal ok?)

GUYS, does anyone live close enough to Stoke to go to the TRU there?

I need a brave volunteer to pick me up an MP Grimmy I've reserved. Will be quite happy to pay cost+shipping+extra.

Help a guy in need!

I would if Stoke is code for canterbury and I had £60 in my pocket.
I'm kind like that but only when my kindness is logistically possible, sorry.

Thanks anyhow mate, the gesture is greatly appreciated. I'll let you off

has had the most amazing day EVA!!!!!!!!!!!

went to smyths in speke, in anticipation of rts jazz and tracks, and boom they had loads quickly grabbed me a one of each, saw wfc prime and megs was gonna get the united versions but for £5.99 a piece i'd be an idiot not to then saw axor and grabbed him. I have to say i am loving smyths shame its so far away

thought to myself leaving some person may not be fortunate to be able to get to smyths, so i grabbed an extra jazz and tracks, so if anyones interested pm me, won't be shippin after christmas sorry, you wouldn't get it for then anyways

didn't half look like a scalper at the check out with

2x jazz
2x tracks
1x wfc prime
1x wfc megs
1x axor

smyths speke also had cheap pcc's think it was huffer and icepick available?

went to tru lpool to look for mp grimmy for C_C no dice unfortunately, what a joke there tf isle is no more and now its a shelf of legend class stuff

then went to costco for a BBQ chicken pizza, which was just as awesome

and yesterday i order some tf's from kapow as i didn't think i'd get anything to open for christmas day, and they came today, i was so shocked, it's the fastest delivery i have ever had, thank you kapow and andy

i have a massive grin on my face, can't wait for christmas day

hope you guys have an amazing day, looking forward to posting my haul

shame protectors stuck in cologne?

woooo anyone else excited?

News Credits: 6 · Wed Dec 22, 2010 9:28 am

Very nice haul mate! Smyths is turning out to be the best retailer we've had since the golden days of Woolworths! (they were awesome during Energon)

Yeah TRU is really going down the shitter lately. I hope they turn it around in the new year, a lot of stock seems to have suspiciously disappeared...trying to avoid selling good stuff in the sales maybe?

I didn't know the UK had costco? I thought that was a US buy-everything-here store?
Haven't heard anything about Protector since the Cologne email. Shame really, would've been icing on the cake to have that set on the big day. Amazing shipping time btw.

I think I might preorder United Perceptor, Kup and Wreck Gar next week. Perceptor looks like a must, as is Kup, but Wreck Gar I need some better pictures of first.

My mom should be home in an hour or so, hopefully with MP Grimmy in tow. Then we need to go to the crematorium to see off our old friend, my dog Buster. Poor lad died in his sleep last night, 15 years old and having survived cancer twice. Real fighter.

aww, CC you made me sad...this is the first christmas without my nan's dog, paddy. he was about the same age as me so i knew him forever.
i was all excited about my xmas haul after what electron said but now ,not so much.

anyway i've got a tracks to look forward to!
and pcc sledge, and hopefully hftd payload, batttle blades prime, battle blade bumblebee, jetblade and maybe axor!
woo for christmas! the most transformersy time of yar!
