Waitwut? I've succeeeded in confusing myslf now. But if I can manage to get to woodley again i'll see if i can pick up one for ya and swap for a gen cracker, as i say, depending on parents....
Also mght be picking one up for nova's bday too. What the heck, icould just get the fourth for trade fodder XD
although that would be a bit douchebaggy.
But like i say, it's all depending on whether i can get my parents to agree to the whole trading thing :p

At a fiver a pop you could do worse than picking up whatever they've got and trading or ebaying on the rest. I've not checked carded prices for the 06 Classics line in a while (only missing Astrotrain, Megatron and Constructicons and I've got the far and away superior Henkei versions of the first two), but they were up fairly high a while back.

Sorry if my waffling about Thundercracker was a bit confusing, but out of the 20 separate official releases of the Classics Seeker mould no less than 4 of them have been Thundercracker (Botcon 07, Henkei, Generations, Botcon 11), only Starscream has had as many versions from that mould (Classics, Universe 2.0, Henkei, Henkei Ghost).

:O well BBTS have classics screamer sold out at like 46.99...
but the only problem is, i'm not 100% sure it's actually legit. Just that there's less writing on the front/sides of the box than in the pictures i've seen, and that's about it really. I guess it's just me being paranoid.

and...woaha, that's a lotta figs for just old cracker...

Oh, and if it puts your parent's minds at ease I'll be okay to post first. My feedback on here and ebay is spotless and most of the guys here can vouch for me as well.

There's about 5 of each at...wait for it...a barnardo's charity shop in woodley They were £4.98, MISB, so i got meself a screamer. Finally have the classics seeker mold. Hurrays and all that. And he's in good shape and all that. Minor paint-fail on the back of his left shoulder, but that's just a on-off error. Joints a little stiff after sitting ssealed up like that for ages, but otherwise fine. Plastic feels safe to me.
as i say, hurrays and all that

EDIT: fixed kremzeeks. also, like this:

is what it look like. although it's the european ver so i think mine has a few less words on :p

Classics Rodimus? The one that is the same colour as Protector? Buy me! I pay you £10 now!

edit: also, I can vouch for Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaghlord. He sorted me out with Classics Skywarp.

News Credits: 7 · Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:58 pm

Thinking about it I could be in the market for a second Rodimus as well, to put aside against the possibility of scoring a Protector. Craggy can have priority if there turns out to just be an odd one left, but failing that I can match his tenner or add a Target Spacecase or Animated Starscream to our potential trade.

I can indeed vouch for waaaaghlord, he got me my gen wheeljack, and threw in a mini-con!

News Credits: 5 · Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:52 am

Yep, I'll vouch for waaaaghlord too.

News Credits: 3 · Mon Apr 30, 2012 10:09 am

So, I've got a lot of vouchers, that's always a good thing. Andyes, i believe that is the roddy. I considered getting one, but 3rd party stuffs is waaaaaaay to exepnsive/etc for me lol.
So, on my to do list are:
talk it through with the parents (tho prob not tonight, fairly busy
and get meself to woodley again and buy....what, two screamers and two roddys? Heck, could just buy all they have XD

Was in Reading the other week and for some reason The Entertainer had in a new case of the first wave of RTS deluxes (jazz, tracks, fallback, mindset) for £6.50 each

i was contemplating a tracks but i think id prefer to save for the onslaught of prime figures i have yet to get :L

News Credits: 7 · Mon Apr 30, 2012 2:09 pm

At that price Jazz and Tracks are more than worth it. Fallback subs for my Classics Outback, but only because there's not a better candidate. I used to use Energon Strongarm, so Fallback is an improvement. Mindset is a pretty easy pass. Mine just chills among the movie line 'cons, although the name is a reference to the G2 comics so there's just justification for putting him in with a Classics line up.

Oh yeah, I'd say probably get all of them at that price, if you can afford it. Always be useful for trades or selling later. And if you can get that Hot Rod, I will be the happy! :grin:

(Protector is pretty darn good, but it's not the best thing ever. I wanted it for my TFTM/Season 3 collection, but the base figure being what it is, it is limited. With a Rodimus in the right colours to go in the armour, it'd be much better than the one I have currently (Challenge at Cybertron one) and would free that up for use as Targetmaster Hot Rod, or even a repaint into magenta movie colours.

I already have rts who is a fantastic figure and the movie repaints really dont interest me :L i will probably pick up tracks if i have some money leftover from tfp megatron and whatever else i get up to this weekend

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that generations is going to be an argos exclusive this time??? i guess its good because argos tends to overstock on their exclusives and sell them reduced pretty quickly, but then again i would prefer to see the line become more widely available :L

NEW FOC REVEALS!
Love em all...
Magnus is far better than Prime, The mold fits him better. He needs a hammer though.
OOO I'm excited! More excited than I was over botcon.

Agreed they are all awesome :BOWDOWN:

Very nice. I think I'm more looking forward to upcoming FoC figures than Prime. The new Op retool does work a lot better as Magnus, but I think I'm still going to end up getting both as I can see WfC Prime looking too tall stood next to this one.

More Insecticons and some Dinobots please Hasbro. Grimlock makes sense for a voyager slot alongside Soundwave.

News Credits: 4 · Tue May 01, 2012 3:29 pm

I will have that Magnus! I want a nice white rifle for him, but a hammer will work well, since he's Transformer Thor. I really hate the mold as Optimus, but I want it's babies in the new colours and with the slight tweaks an the new head. Excellent job, Hasbro!

The rest of them look pretty decent too, only one I have any real reservations about is Sideswipe.

News Credits: 7 · Tue May 01, 2012 3:41 pm

I am kind of surprised that Starscream wasn't front and centre in the first wave. It's not like Hasbro to lose valuable milking time on a Seeker mould.

Yes, I want Bombshell.

I've been having a root through some of my still packed toys from the move in January and pulled out my TF keshi. Full sets of Japanese numbered red Cybertron and purple Destron decoys and a full set of clear blue Beast Wars II figures. A bowl of washing up water and a toothbrush are in their not too distant future, shortly followed by a new home somewhere among my already overcrowded shelves.

News Credits: 2 · Wed May 02, 2012 3:23 pm

Dang those foc deluxes are nice

only just noticed that sideswipe is a heavy retool of jazz as well

ill probably get magnus and that voyager soundwave, and a grimlock if he gets made (which he better do, hasbro)

Hi guys and gals. Just found Prime RID Arcee and Ratchet at Asda. Just giving you a heads up, good hunting y'all!

Wed May 09, 2012 4:46 pm

Which Asda is this? Last time I checked my Asda all they had were the smaller legion and maybe commander figures :/ Asda's been lacking around my area transformerwise

But this looks like a sign that we're finally getting new figures!

Also what was the price range, the usual £13 I expect?

News Credits: 1 · Thu May 10, 2012 7:29 am

It was an Asda in Hull, Yorkshire. So North for the minute. The best part is the deluxes are now £9.73 each.

I bought Arcee yesterday and Wheeljack, Soundwave and Ratchet today because its pay day :ic$:
