Quick cheap Grimlock update...

According to Toys r us website and Royal Mail, mine was delivered today when I was not home and taken back to the Post Office... Curses!

Bugger, that's annoying but at least its safe and not been lobbed over your garden gate ( that happened to me with a set of pans, they were all ruined ).

Mine was delivered on Saturday and despite the minimal packing and being able to move about in the shipping box it was intact.

On the strength of the recent CW legends figures I decided to upgrade my old legends Bumblebee to the newer slightly bigger version. So headed on over to TRU; for 9.99 you get a choice of accessories, Blazemaster or a AOE deluxe Bumblebee. I decided to go for the latter as it didn't have the unnecessary red paint apps.

I think the Blazemaster version will be sitting there for quite some time as they've got loads left. Speaking of which they're down to their last three sets of Cheetor Blackarachnia robot heroes so get in there quickly if you're interested!

Warning to those who, like myself, will occasionally throw a small TF item in with the weekly shop and think nothing of it. RID legions, while unpriced on the shelf, are ringing up at £10.99 in my local Sainsbury's.

WTF! That's an outrageous (not the Jem kind!) price to be paying for legion class figure!

It's not a mistake either, or if it is, it's a weird one; I watched it come up on the display as Legion-£10.99. The lady deleted that and typed in some code and it said the same thing. I got two warrior classes for £20 instead. For a big, ugly, Fisher-Price-KO-looking monstrosity, £10 for Strongarm isn't too bad.

Oh no! Heaven forbid TRU sell out of such a staple product of the past approximately ever, I'm not sure the shelves would feel the same without it :lol:

And I can only hope that the £10.99 legion figures is a mistake of some kind, and actually the price point for something else, but in all honesty I'd not be too surprised if it were right...

Could be mixed up with the combiner wars legends as they are £10

Next time you're in there, could you hide one somewhere towards the back of The Great Wall of Prime Vs Predaking two-packs? It's just around the corner from FOC Soundwave Mountain. I don't know when I'll deem them worthy of my presence again and I'd hate to miss out on this hot item. Cheers!

Ah, what a small world. Or is it Patternism gone unimaginative?

Hero Mashers anyone?

TRU Norwich has lost all its CW deluxes, but gained five Silverbolts and an OP. Plenty of RID stuff, too.

Wed Jan 28, 2015 11:36 am

A quick heads up: looks like Smyths are planning to stock Power Battler Junkheap and Vehicon from 1st March at a reduced price of £6.49!

News Credits: 2 · Fri Jan 30, 2015 11:14 am

TRU website have money off a load of RiD products if anyone is interested. £10.49 on Warriors (Sainsbo's offer is still better...), £4.99 Legends, Half price Hyper Changers.

Get 'em while they are hot!

TRU seem to be out of most of the warriors. No point in money off what you cant buy

News Credits: 1350 · Fri Jan 30, 2015 12:00 pm

£4.99 isn't bad for the legions. Quite like the look of op. Warriors though would be if I had spare money (though I expect them to turn up at home bargains)

Anybody out there..............................?

CW in Sainsbury's. Legends - £9.99, limbs - don't know, I was too excited at finally finding Powerglide. Also, for those still looking, Cardiff TRU now have four sets of Cheetor/Blackarachnia. That's right, they've gone into negative demand and are now self-replicating.

Drat wish I had a sainsburies near me that I didn't have to go out the way for.

I took my set back as I felt bad that some other fan might miss out...

Cool that they've got legends in Sainsburys.

I think the question now is will we see CW W2 before the end of the year?

Toys R Us are sending out £10 vouchers for spends of £30 or more. Wondering what to get with it. I could get a 2nd MP Sunstorm I suppose.

Shame it runs out on the 11th of February, otherwise it would of done me nicely
