Sightings time. I was in Tesco this morning and picked up the Cyberverse (blue) commander Ironhide with legion Leadfoot and (black) commander Megatron with legion Bumblebee for a reduced price of £8.77 per set. Couple of questions about these, firstly am I right in thinking they were Target exclusives in the States, and will probably be Tesco exclusives here as a result? Secondly, while I know this is the first time I've seen these does anyone know of any other UK finds of these figures? If it's a first time spot then I'll shove a thread together in toys and go gloryhogging for a news credit.

Also Tesco seem to have upped the price on their voyagers to a few pence shy of £25. Not good as I've been waiting on a price drop to justify picking up Sentinel and one or both Optimi.

those cyberverse 2 packs have been in tescos for ages now, they were sighted first only about a month after the first lot of DOTM stuff came out. They were target exclusives.

Fair enough. My local Tesco is a bit poo. They got downgraded when the store got refitted at the start of the year and they do sometimes end up with random stuff coming in late when bigger stores are taking them off shelves, making it a kind of dumping ground for older stock. Looks like that's what's happened this time. It can work out really well sometimes. I've picked up the 07 Screen Battles sets and voyagers from RotF and Animated lines clearanced at £5 a pop out of there in the past.

Went out to buy a vacuum and came back with some goodies. DotM leader class Sentinel, £22 at Tesco, HA basics Icepick, Sandstorm and Thunderhead, £5 each at Argos, PCC Salvage and Undertow (done with the 2 packs, yay!), £5 each from TRU and an oversized U2.0 legends Wheelie KO (size of a smallish deluxe, choice of orange with yellow head, waist, feet and wheels or the other way around, I went for the mainly orange one), £1 from Poundland. Not a bad day, so much for not buying any more toys before moving house next month though...

I'm still hungover from Munkimus's party :SICK:

News Credits: 6188 · Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:26 pm

....aaand gave in again, and finally bought Warpath and Wheeljack.
Damn you, 2012, damn you..

EDIT: Generations Darkmount broke!
I had noticed the round arm joint for his transformation having a few stress marks, but I forgot about it when I picked him up again today..
Hmph.
Never in tank mode again.

Just had a search though my TF cupboard as my display room is nearly complete (YAY!) & found a couple of figs I forgot about.

2007 Movie Takara deluxe concept Camaro Bumblebee-still factory sealed, & ehobby T.H.S.02b Hybid Style black Convoy-mint but opened.

I don't expect the BB to be worth much, but does anyone know what the going rate for the ehobby Prime is?

It's a gorgeous figure, but i'm willing to part with it if it'll sell for more than £50.

Death-Shed wrote:(D)oes anyone know what the going rate for the ehobby Prime is?

While I've not been keeping track of it I seem to remember figures around $150 being mentioned in the toys forum. A quick check on ebay searching 'hybrid black convoy' turned up 3 internationally, 1 at just over £100 with no bids and a couple with a BiN around £130. If I was in the market for one and feeling flush I'd probably snap your arm off for a price tag around £50.

I've been chatting to my man in Washington tonight. He gave me a lead on the not very widely released European exclusive Minicon 8 pack from a year or so ago from a French seller and I've got a set on the way. The French guy has a couple more, search 'Minicon 8' on ebay if interested. He (JRF rather than French dude) is also proxy buying me a Prime NYCC BB/RC set from hasbrotoystore.com. Sweet.
