In other news, TRU Norwich have one pack of Evolution OP, and are giving away free Power Attackers with a minimum spend. Pretty sure they'll start paying customers to get them out of the shop soon.

In the tru near me they'll have to get rid of the bot shots...they'll have to pay a lot of people.

Lockdown91 wrote:Another thing, is anybody else worried that we may not see the combiner wars figures next year? Most stores are still sitting on Prime and Beast Hunters, the AOE figures don't seem to be budging all that much (the more children orientated stuff, the one-flip changers etc.) I'm worried stores won't want to add yet another line, more likely to stock the new Robots in Disguise stuff due out next year instead. What makes me think this is the fact that we haven't been getting in the later waves of Generations. Slightly worrying :/

Surely being a continuation of Generations, they'd be TRU exclusives at best anyway
I'd hope that we at least get the first wave of the year, and with any luck (iirc it was announced as such but don't hold me to that) wave 1 would contain enough different figures to make a full gestalt out of

While I do expect tru to keep the generations to their greedy sleves at least online stores will keep things going *cough*like mine once set up, not so subtle plug*cough*

The real thing is will we get the RiD cartoon? If we don't will there be any point in places getting the toyline in?

As its on Cartoon Network I'd imagine it will be shown on the same channel internationally so yes.

I see 'new' Construct Bots on the Hasbro UK site, has anyone seen Scorn or Slash? Of course there's another Bumblebee too.

Did anyone on here mention that MP Grimlock has gone down to £69.99?

I swear I read it here.. :-?

News Credits: 4 · Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:25 am

I've not seen that, but then again he is a pain in the butt to find.

News Credits: 15 · Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:36 am

Is this the painted version of MP Grimlock or is he the standard plastic? Or maybe I am thinking of the comic version?

News Credits: 6188 · Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:59 am

Reissue MP Grimlock at TRU, down to £69.99 from £99.99.

Plenty at Norwich TRU!

Sold! Cheers for the heads up Va'al. So glad I didn't commit to it a few weeks ago. :DANCE:

This might actually be what it takes to convince me to delve into masterpiece figures...

Tempted to do the same, though I've heard distinctly mixed opinions on TRU's delivery systems- can anyone give an idea of what they're like?

Never had issues personally, but only used twice.
In this case, the local TRU is at 10 minutes on foot, and they have at least five left - so if I tke the plunge, I shall do so in person.

I've order loads from them online, (mainly bulky stuff for the kids) and never once had a problem.

For people who already have this reissue in hand.. what's it like? Sturdy? Floppy? Nice colours?

Half sort of considering it maybe myself. :-?

I hope this means we end up getting Lockdown and the Voyager Waves :grin:

I hadn't expected to pick up any of the AOE toys, but after EMOP and the new bumblebee Mold, I think I'm going to aim to at least pick up all the Autobots and Dinobots.

Except for maybe Slash. The negative press it's gotten, plus the fact he's not in the movie, he feels entirely skippable.

Really hoping those Series 6 Kreon Microchangers show up soon.
