So that means the SDDC Fort max sword & the extra stickers cost me an extra £3.00 then - laugh.

I really would like the other Emissary but It's pretty awkward as the main robot head is more different in the Japanese one (being mostly grey).

But the crested Cerebros (Fortress) Titanmaster head looks like it's going to be rarer overall - which is kind of bizarre.

Not sure I can justify buying Fortmax twice just to get a different Titanmaster though.

The good thing about Metroplex is if you put him in vehicle mode he's quite good to put planes on but Fortmax isn't as good for that.

I think I will wait a little while see if Blackjack shows up else where if not I'll order one.

Incidentally that is the same store in Scotland that was about the only place that got the later wave of Rescue Bot tools (like the Jackhammer and the Axe). They are all sold out of the Jackhammer now though.

I would have picked this one up instantly if I were in the UK. Shipping kills it for me though (£20,- extra...)
It does have the upgrade kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122115697566

Takara LG13 Megatron

Anyone from UK coming to the NL soon perhaps?

Drop-down menu only shows Skywarp and Groove.

Also while their £5.99 price is amazing I'm dying laughing at that "RRP: £20". Who sells legends for £20?

Fellow Seibertronians; you may recall quite a while back the 6-pack of One-Step Changers in the RiD 2015 line; containing Steeljaw, Grimlock, Underbite, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and an exclusive Optimus Prime. That pack was exclusive to the American store Target - but UK fans may be interested to know that the same pack has now been spotted in the supermarket Tesco, and is on a very large sale down from £60 to £30! Check out the link below if you want to buy them and feel free to discuss this find on the Energon Pub.

"down from £30 to £60"

Pretty sure the numbers should be reversed there.....

It's that MP SG Optimus. It's causing everything to go opposite 8-}

Fixed in any case

Looks like Kapow have extended their birthday sale til friday also. "New items added daily" so it might be worth keeping an eye on.

I didn't spring for the dinobots in the end, i've been off sick a few days this month so i'm taking a hit because my job's sick pay policy is of the 'we would give you less if it was legal to do so' variety.

I did bag the fansproject G3 trailer though, which is something I had my eye on for a while waiting for the right price, it was a really nice surprise!

RID toys are rubbish IMHO

It's still a waste of cash, even for £30

News Credits: 11 · Mon Sep 26, 2016 4:46 pm

They are fine for £5.00 each

Bisk is a good one though speaking about the others - he and Ratchet are starting to show up now.

I had spent a year trying to find a Drift and I just got one then my next buy was Bisk so I got 2 orange ones on a go.

If One-steps remained at £10.99 I'd be kinda dismissive of them too. but they are on two for £14.99 in Argos and are often reduced in ASDA too.

The only thing that is bad about them is they maybe considered a block to getting better toys in some supermarkets, and the articulation can be a bit basic sometimes.

They are something to collect though. since Hasbro show little interest in releasing much else outside of retailers I don't have in my area.

Oh and I did mention the 6 pack some days prior when it first showed up at £60.00 : united-kingdom-transformers-sightings-t42s22800.php#p1825386 ; for those that are interested in MLP there is also a 6 pack of super hero ponies too. (also reduced)

I'm not a fan of one-steps myself; but hey, they exist for kids to have fun with. Can't really complain, they ARE the main demographic of the brand after all.

If that pack is exclusive to America then how come I've found it in Australia?

No sign of the Wave 2 voyagers, legends, Mindwipe and Wolfwire, but still I consider this a good find!
