NEED those Cyberverse figures! All of them. GIMME! I need Silver Flying Steve's for my Steve army!

Not much to report here, haven't been out much

Toys R Us have RID Steve's for £4.99 at the mo...

My Sainsbo's didn't have anything exciting this week but I'm headed there later so we'll see.

Oh and I'm off to Berlin today for a few days so I am going to try and hunt down some of those German Transformers Kinder Eggs if anyone is interested

I take it as far as the Predacon Rising stuff goes I guess we ain't gonna see any of the later stuff at Tesco at this point in the game.
Anyone seen the Legion 2pk with Blight and 'Bee, Comamder 2pk with Shockwave and Hardshell or the Deluxe BBee with blue highlights etc.

Cyberverse Optimus Maximus Command Tower for £19.99 at my local Quality Save.. considering the RRP is £49.99 this is an outstanding deal. I'm almost tempted by the price alone.

In my local B&M were a few DOTM Leader class Sentinels and Bumblebees; also an Ironhide lurking at the back. Shelf full of Voyager Sentinels too. :KREMZEEK:

they'd have to give me £20 for me to consider taking Optimus Maximus off their hands.

I picked up a simplified BH Prime voyager for the boy. Got him at Tesco in Hednesford.

The evolution of Prime...

Which is why I said I was almost tempted. Is it as **** as it looks?

Hello you lot, been a while.
Just wanted to drop in and say the new BH simplified voyagers are in smyths for £14.99.
I got a Predaking. He's MASSIVE and full of cacophonous click.
Totally don't even notice the fact he's even quicker to transform than the cyberverse version.

Popped into a new store which opened in Bedford recently called Range, a sort of homewares store, a bit like an 'upmarket' B&M Home Store! :lol:

One of my previous sightings posts noted that B&M had absolutely NO Transformers at that time, so it seems what they did have has now appeared at new store Range!

Not much mind but at least they are trying. Some Prime Cyberverse Optimus Maximus figures for £25, some dusty old DotM Leader Sentinel Prime figures for £25, only one Prime RiD Voyager Starscream for £14.99 and a small selection of Bot Shots for £4.99.

Also popped in to TK Maxx (on the same retail park #handy) and they had a small selection available.
Found some Prime Beast Fire Predaking figures for £24.99, Prime Apex Armor & Energon Drillers for £14.99, some K-Reo Ratchet and Prowl sets for £12.99 and a single Generations FoC Rumble & Ravage disc/cassette pack for £5.99!

Handy for me when doing my sightings posts as they are ALL on the same retail park!

So there's people around who don't know what The Range is, just like I didn't know what B+M was, til one opened near me!
They're pretty good for non toy stuff tbh, I got some really nice Marvel canvas prints from there.

Let's hope this means he'll show elsewhere!
Cos tbh, with the new simplified 2014 voyagers hitting shelves, I've pretty much written Shockwave off as "Sir Not Appearing In This Film" since he's supposed to come out before them.

Pretty much eff all in TRU Norwich today, other than 19 DotM Bumblebees.

There were a couple of new Bot Shots, though.

..and I did get this ickle box from Andy at Kapow today..

Fri Feb 28, 2014 2:24 pm

As the lego movie official song says, everything is awesome as i visited Hamley's Toy Store at the Trafford Centre Today and lo and behold they had a few Sharkticon Megatrons on the shelf at £25 each so i quickly grabbed one then a shop assistant informed me that on wednesday Voyager Shockwave will be in store

I haven't been able to get on in a while.

News Credits: 4 · Sun Mar 02, 2014 9:46 am

My G2 Sideswipes and replacement Exprime(the first one I got from Kapow had missing pieces so had order a replacement from HLJ) are stuck in customs

Hopefully the Jap Waspinator arrives soon too!

I have seen no more Prowls in Norwich.

What I have seen, is this lot (they're not mine, they are my friend Hazel's; she found them at a car boot sale).

My word... Finding G1 goodness like that at a carboot? That is fortuitous happenstance indeed.

Verily.

I'd say the lot is worth at least £50. Most certainly more.

News Credits: 4 · Sun Mar 02, 2014 7:17 pm

That rachet is the red cross variant and looks like there's hardly any yellowing. If it has all its bits, still on blister and isn't the Chinese reissues we got flooded with in the 90's id say its probably worth about 30-40 on its own. Sideswipe not quiet as much as the stickers are a little tatty. Prime looks like it has a Styrofoam insert which is always good. Looks like a great find.

Last good find I had was Motivator Gripper missing a weapon an a small tab but still in good condition for 50p

Thanks guys, I will pass on the information.

In the meantime, I'm selling off some of my own stuff. Slowly trimming down the bulk of the collection to make space for eventual other stuff. Will upload more once I get back to Italy and the Detolf case (in about a month's time or so).

Oh and before i forget the sharkticon megatron figureat hamleys does have the name sharkticon megatron on it hmmm im hoping that the new legions will be in stock too

Found construct-bots silverbolt, breakdown, cliffjumper, and dead end in my local sainsburys today. £10 each. Picked up silverbolt as I liked the g1 character.
