I went into Oxfam today, and found a Transformers Generation 2 Issue 1 comic, for 99p!

Nice..

I might trundle down into town to FPI tomorrow, as I'm in Leeds for the weekend.

TRU in Norwich has restocked Soundwave, WJ and CJ.
Plus a load of Cyberverse figures.

got RID voyager prime today, a lot nicer than I thought he'd be in hand.
Since I'm not gonna get the FE, I have to settle for this guy, but I'm happy cos I gave him some more red on his chest! My first foray into cutomising... feels good man.

Nothing Prime wise at my Tesco yet, still a load of DotM deluxes in the 'clearance' section for a tenner. £5 a piece and I might bite on the ones I've been passing on so far. I will be keeping an eye out for Prime next week though, am a bit skint until Friday, mainly thanks to 4 lots of Exogini series 3 that I'm winning on at the moment (around 120 figures including repeats). I have been picking up a few clearance items from Tesco just recently though, including my first taste of the Marvel Universe line, Dr Strange and Namor for £2 each, as well as a bunch of Doctor Who Pandorica wave figures at £3 and some Ickee Stikeez. I also snagged my first Trash Pack figures at my local newsagent yesterday, cute and gross in perfect balance.

Charity shops aren't normally that good for transformers. Except one time someone seemed to dumped there entire collection into one, now that was a good day. :grin:

When your in Tescos again check if they have any Dotm Voyagers as they are going thru the till at either £4.50 or £5. I was in getting a few bits and picked up Skyhammer priced at £9, rang thru the till at £5. So I cleared out all their stock (14 voyagers) to use as kitbash fodder and for trading.

I'd say you were an effin' scalper, but there aren't any DOTM voyagers I want. :p

Wise up I ain't no scum like that.

If you are into 'Kitbashing' you'd know not to look a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to parts. It's alot easier to cut up something that cost you 1/4 of the RRP than a full price figure.

Got me 7 Starscreams to paint as the 6 main seekers, and one for the boy. Got Shockwave, Megatron, Prime, Fireburst Prime, Sent.Prime and 2 Skyhammers (gonna do a vortex outta 1). Only ever had Megatron from the voyager line, so now I have him in my display in alt and bot mode.

A quick shout out to my dear old Mum. I spotted my first Prime figures, the four Cyberverse Commanders in Tesco and she pretty much bullied me into letting her buy them all "while they're there." Pretty awesome belated birthday present, cheers Mum! After that outlay I'll be opening one a week, started with Starscream and yes, Waspshot was right, keep 'em coming! :grin:

Hey again guys, managed to track that statue down and get one, very happy with my purchase, so to catch up, how are you all and have you bought anything interesting lately?

Found Scan Series 'Swipe and 'Hide in a clearance shop at £6 each today, snagged them to display in vehicle modes. Beats the hell out of TRU pricing.

*rsge a thow everyone has been finding cool stuff...*

Loads of TF Prime stuff at my local Tesco. Prime and Megs voyagers, a whole load of deluxe, commander and legion classes also. Just picked up deluxe Wheeljack and Soundwave today and I'll probably get Prime and Megs after payday!

My tesco in Leeds has all the TF Prime stuff in now and selling the DOTM deluxes for £3 each! Got a Jazz as I never did first time around.

Now I have a dilemma though. Do I buy TF Prime Voyager OP or Megs, or spend the money on a complete G1 Bombshell from a guy I know? I can only afford one this month so any wise words of advice would be appreciated!

Which Tesco is that?

I'm in Leeds till tomorrow evening, I'd love to go for a hunt!

I'm personally not a G1 collector, so I'd say get PRiD Megatron.

I'd love a Bombshell... and the Prime figures are going to be around for a while yet...

Still a tenner in my local, and pretty much all that's left in the clearance section. These guys REALLY need marking down.

Thanks guys for the advice, think I'm going to go for Bombshell. Va'al, my local tesco is seacroft, they had 3 voyagers left - 2 megs and one OP, but be warned, there were a lot of kids nagging at their mums when I was there and these Prime toys seem to disappear as fast as they get put on the shelves!

Got my Bombshell! Well pleased, thanks for the advice guys. :BOWDOWN:

Off out for the weekly shop in a minute, if I see anything of interest will let you know.

RAGE!!!
These epic arms micron figures might (AKA most definately and instantly would) get me into the prime line.
but...
they're takara. Which means there's even less chance of getting them over here as there are with most of anything awesome. Grrrr.

i think they look a bit poo, you have to put them together yourself and they have zero paint apps.
