shipped a metric poop-tonne of stuff from TFSource there (to get the $200 to get the free Prime FE figure...which I might not get but if I do it's cause TFSource customer services are much better than some other companies and I could go on forever here so I'll just stop)

Anyway, I'm getting Breakdown. Along with the tiny tiny wee tiny wee toty wee tiny Perfect Effect Reflector bots in their new toy accurate versions. I kinda liked the first lot, how they were so similar, but the colours on the new ones really pop, and I like that they've unique heads and chests. Buncha AMWs coming too. Hopefully the FOC wave with Magnus et al is in stock soon, but after I get paid, so I can ship that and the rest of my Microns and stuffs.

So where in the U.K. did you actually see these Transformers?

On his computer. And eventually his house. Both of which are in the UK.

We've said this before: it's not just about sightings!

Loosen up, or I won't look for your comic. (

I saw the other PE set at Kapow Comic-con last year. I think. It might have been them or just some tiny scraps of purple plastic. I didn't have a magnifying glass to check.

Sorry folks, I can get carried away a little, especially when we have threads for Toy Hauls and such like!

Any way, Im off to BM Home Store and Toys R Us after work to see what lovelies I can find! :grin:

TRU Norwich was more disappointing than usual.
Blagh. (saw the first Arcee over here though..)

News Credits: 4 · Wed Nov 28, 2012 5:50 pm

Tesco had one Bulkhead amongst a sea of Primes in their Voyager section. A couple Soundwaves and maybe an Arcee or a Bee or something else that wasn't new in Deluxes, and the dark blue Bulkhead Commander class. Nowt particularly particular.

News Credits: 7 · Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:49 am

CT Bulkhead looks okay though. I'd probably have picked one up by now if I wasn't concentrating on nonTF lines recently and there wasn't the Roadbuster version coming next year. After I've got this Mini Boglin collection buy out I'm in the middle of sorted and all the upcoming OMFG releases covered and a new sofa bought in the sales I might still pick up CT Bulks. Will have to be feeling very rich and very, very bored before I give the Prime repaint from the same wave any serious attention though.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Nov 29, 2012 9:21 am

Boglins!

I was obsessed by them when I was a kid. Still have a few.

News Credits: 7 · Thu Nov 29, 2012 10:58 am

I've got about 250 variations so far, plus doubles for trade. The collection I'm buying is another 650 of the little buggers without any repeats (although it's going to render a lot of my existing ones to trading pile status) including a full set of all available Samurai, most of the Slimes and a couple of Kellogg's golds. By my count this should only leave about 10 variations at the 'hard to find' end of the spectrum and maybe a couple of hundred more common figures to track down.

Popped into Sainsburys in Bedford town today... a few of those rubbish Botshot things, some random Cyberverse bits, but TF prime Deluxes included Arcee, Deadend and 2x Kup.

Very poor show from Sainsburys, so bought some milk and some porridge for the morning!

News Credits: 4 · Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:35 pm

what did the milk and porridge turn into?

News Credits: 6188 · Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:58 pm

Poop. Eventually.

Popped into Bedford town to check out the latest at B & M Home Store!

Oh my! :grin:

This is fast becoming my fave store for older lines! Loads of stuff!!

Okay, where do I start...

Loads of RPMs, a couple of hand held blaster/gun type things, some Stealth wotsits and a few other random smaller kiddy bits (sorry, cant remember!).

What really caught my eye where a whole load of Dark of the Moon figures!
There where a shed load!

Loads of Leader Sentinel Prime, Bumblebee and Ironhide; loads of Human Alliance Bumblebee, loads of Mechtech Voyager Optimus Prime, Fire Burst Optimus Prime, Megatron, Sentinel Prime, a single Skyhammer (which I snatched) and loads of the red Cannon Force Ironhide figures which have never seen in the flesh (or is that plastic)? Grabbed me one of those!

Quite a few of the Mechtech Deluxe figures too including Starscream, Thundercracker, Sideswipe (the one without a roof?), Mindset, Bumblebee's of various types, Air raid and Roadbuster!

There where also (yes more!) some other DOTM bits on the hangers which included Dragstrip, Backfire and a Tailpipe (which I picked up!)!

I think there where more but I didnt write down or take pics so I cant quite remember...!

I had a browse around onlt to find some RoadBots too!
the same ones i have mentioned ecently in an earlier post, but also 3 large Leader sized pieces which looked ok, one was a Toyota Supra (I think), a Land Cruiser and a Corvette!

I was in alien robot heaven!!! :grin:

Picked up Rotf HA Sideswipe in Antrim B&M, and Rotf HA BumbleBee in B&M Connswater Belfast. If anybody comes across a HA Barricade, I'll hump your leg off for it, or any other mutually agreeable arrangement

News Credits: 4 · Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:12 pm

Im going to keep popping back to the Bedford B & M Home Store after my recent visit as they get three deliveries a week, what with the run up to Christmas Im hoping there will be more lovelies to come!

I have missed a whole load of these Human Alliance Basics and the PCC stuff, which I am only recently finding an interest in!
This little fella has a motorcycle alt mode which Im not that fussed about as I display all my stuff in robot mode (unless I have a duplicate). I am liking the fact this fella comes with another smaller little fella :lol:

to compensate on his size

Im off to Northampton this afternoon for a browse, will let you's know if I find owt!

News Credits: 4 · Sat Dec 01, 2012 12:13 pm

the little robot/gigantic gun targetmaster is pretty cool. I really like the robot and posability. motorcycle mode isn't bad, but it's the robot that shines for me, despite his awkward head/face.

Argos has a (up to) 50% sale on Toys, including three Kre-O Transformers sets - Bumblebee, Vortex and the second OP vs Megatron set (for 19.99 rather than 39.99).

Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:02 pm

Home Bargins in Belfast, MechTech Megatron and Mechtech Starscream, Megs was 13 quid and Scream was 6, bargin. In the bargin stores has there been any soundwaves spotted? Just wanna know if he is out there.

Popped into Northampton town centre yesterday afternoon for a browse.

Found a Home Bargains store which I never knew existed!

There where a couple of Voyager Optimus Primes, firebust versions I think for £12.00ish but found a DOTM Mechtech Roadbuster for only £5.99 so I snapped him up to go with his DOTM Wrecker buddies!

Was going to pop back to B & M Home Store today but had a late one last night so deceded to laze around! :lol:

Tue Dec 04, 2012 2:06 pm

Haha got a RotF Jolt for 6.50 in Tesco's Bloomfields there in Bangor. They had 2 left as of 10 mins ago.

Wed Dec 05, 2012 12:15 pm

Okay so Last week I went to John lewis in liverpool, grabbed myself a PRID Rumble. I went back yesterday and they had a Dead End which I bought, they also had the binman Bumblebee (black deco)but it was nice to see that they only had 1 regular Bumblebee and 1 Cliffjumper, they had about 6 Hot shots, a Knockout, and a Kup also

Went into the Entertainer today in Liverpool, they had 1 voyager Starscream amongst many Optimus's but this is the first time i've seen wave 2 in the Entertainer.

And finally I went into Tk Max in Liverpool today and they had the cyberverse Bumblebee battlesuit for £12.99 about 3 of them as well as the Jackhammer (or whatever it's called, Wheeljacks ship)
