Would an email to their customer support asking if that can check nearby stores stock levels help?

Finally got round to picking up Generations Grimlock and he is beautiful. It was a toss up between him and Soundwave, who is another of my favourite characters from G1. I might get him when I'm paid next month because I really like the design of him in robot mode. The only thing that's putting me off is the non-canon alt of armoured car.

Sorry, I should have clarified that it isn't canon in the only universe that actually matters which is generation one.

They be fighting words, boi

I was tempted my Soundwave, but I dont want to pay £50 to have him and his family. Grimlock is lovely though I have to say.
To anyone interested, TRU Reading brought out MP Prime again at the little promotional bit at the front of the shop, but still for full price. There was only 4 or 5 though, so they may go pretty quickly

Picked up construct-bots megatron from asda for £11. They also had OP, Soundwave and Hound, and the smaller starscream and ironhide sets for £6.50 each. I have to say I really like megatron, so much I may have to get starscream and soundwave to build up the unholy trinity!

Anyone seen any new generations stuff at all?

Just ordered generations doubledealer! Woohoo! :KREMZEEK:

I picked up Wheeljack, Soundwave, Starscream and Ironhide Construct bots. I was going to give them a miss but I picked up Jack and now I'm hooked!

To ASDA!!!!

Not seen anything else turn up recently though...

They had plenty in Cardiff TRU last time I was there, a month or so ago. It may be worth going on their website, we had MP Soundwave sent from Birmingham to Newport, free postage.

Va'al, I'm pretty sure we'll both be around Tho Bubs this weekend. We should arrange some way of telling who we each are when we meet.

Guys, I should be hitting up Toys R us Chatham, Lakeside and Poole in the next week, I will look for a MP Prime. Is there any way you are willing to be contacted in a hurry if I spot one?

News Credits: 6 · Tue Nov 19, 2013 4:00 pm

I've pre ordered Doubledealer through kapow toys, £33.49 all in. As there is no guarantee he will be released over here I am willing to pay the extra.

It's called The North. Because it's the north of England.
Try explaining East Anglia to a Southerner, and convincing them it's not the North.
Headaches aplenty.

EDIT: Also, I consider myself the Southernmost Northenerner here. Being half-Yorkshire and half-Tuscan.

Barnsley lad here but lived in East Anglia also for the last 25 years! As Im now 41 does make me a southern northerner? :lol:

Bloody southerners/northerners! [DELETE AS APPROPRIATE]

Well my family's from Nottingham, so im not sure whether I'd rather be a southern northerner or a northern southerner

Nothing really to report, only that TRU seem to be struggling to move MP Soundwave and Acid Storm, so I expect them to have a price cut pretty soon, same as Rodimus and Grimlock did
