TRU Portsmouth had one evasion mode prime. I say had because he now belongs to me. Saw no Grimlocks though.

No Voyagers in my part of London yet or Leaders, but there is a points/voucher redemption scheme for Argos being launched soon apparently.

At the weekend I got a Action Master Circuit at MCM(horribly managed show that one is).

Picked up Scorn and Slag, no sign of any voyagers. It's almost like someone forgot to tell TRU they've got the Generations figures as exclusives.

A TRU up north has put their stock out, yeah. This info comes from the employee who did it, over on facebook.

Over on TFW2005 someone mentioned Gateshead. Like I said I found mine in Portsmouth so would expect all other TRUs to be stocking by the weekend.

welp, time to make sure I can have the cash for a EMOP (E mop? Emo p?) when the need in me and ability to get one align. I'm ok for now, but in a couple of weeks... well...

Agreed-the queueing this year was especially awful, moreso even than normal. I suppose they do have an insane amount of people going, but even so...

E-mop:it cleans your floors via an online service!

On a more on topic (

) note though I'm in a similar boat, though I've been considering holding out for one of the repaints; the evolution two-pack with classics prime might be neat as I don't actually have a classics prime yet, but whilst I'm not too fussed about the added flames (though would likely prefer without), and the blue on the chest does look pretty awkward imo, its the shotgun being black of all things that particularly irks me-it needs to be an unpainted grey to match DOTM megs :lol:

The domestic release of Masterpiece Prowl is really going to be £59.99 at TRU? Seems a bit steep to me but then they do like to charge for their MPs.

Just popped into Southampton TRU to have a look see. No AoE voyagers however they do have a fair few older figures that some people seem to be struggling to find, Metroplex, Kickback, BH Prowl, Skystalker to name a few.

Wish they would discount Metroplex, cant see them sell so many at that price that its worth keeping the price so high.

I do want a Kickback though, may take a trip to Chatham TRU tomorrow as I will be nearby.

Still no AOE voyagers at TRU Tamworth, although they are supposed to be coming in tomorrow.

Picked up Slag.

TRU Chatham had the Voyagers on Saturday. I picked them both up. Loving the Prime, really pose-able in robot mode although he has slightly odd arm joints because of the transformation. Transforms really nicely, love the alt mode.

Grimlock is ok in both modes, I cant seem to get him to hold his giant bommy knocker and it looks daft when attached to his tail in Dino mode. Dino mode is ok. Not the best figure especially when Scorn is so good.

I'll wait til next month before I bother to pick up the Leaders from Argos. I'm also balking at the idea of paying £90 for 2 figures I'm not sure about. At least with there being so few Generations figures in the line I wont be buying a whole lot of them

I should be making another trip to TRU this week to look for the voyagers, so hopefully they're out by the time I get there.

I'm not going to bother with leader Grimlock, as the voyager looks far superior to me. I usually try to go for things in scale, but I'd rather have Grim be in scale with the rest of the dinos than with what would have to be a deluxe Prime.

I was also wondering if we might see Lockdown with the first case of wave 2 deluxes, as we usually get different case assortments to the US. The wave 2s should start appearing around the end of the month no?

Voyagers were out in Norwich TRU! Nice surprise on my return from the Netherlands.

Got Grimlock, and as much as everyone is going on about OP, I'm not interested, already have too many of the character

whaaaaat. It is without question the tidiest representation of movie Prime and it's probably gonna be the most posable bot of the line.

Each to their own.

(I might have to ask for some more middlemanning soon then... :p)

If you blended 5 primes and drank the mix and then blended a sixth, drank that and it killed you then that would be too many Primes.

Put it this way: my movieverse Optimus is the Voyager HFTD one. I am not getting any robot that isn't a dino/dragon/beast from the upcoming lines, and even then, Slash is not looking promising.

But more for you lot!

I need more shelves

My generations voyagers have invaded my Masterpiece shelf, My Cyberverse Prime shelf is rammed solid, my Beast Hunters are squashed up and I have Construct bots everywhere! My poor new figs have no where to go
