I only ask because every Generations figure I've bought from them in the past has been rather poor quality. I got a Thrilling 30 Jetfire out of there once for £15, the joints were stiff, some of the paint wasn't bonding to the plastic, and the whole thing felt really flimsy and brittle. I also got a Roadbuster not long afterwards, it was covered in production scars, had stiff ratchet joints in the shoulders and weak joints in the knees, and it stank of burning plastic.
I didn't get mine from B&M but I think the combiner wars figures on a whole were done more cheaply than the titans return series, tho titans return seems to have suffered from more issues (looseness, same hands etc). Sky Shadows pretty much a brick and no reported issues as far as I know (other than if like me you try to force the wings down in base mode as ramps which could cause stress marks-instructions show them like that but they are molded differently on the figure so it is impossible to do).
Home bargains had a G1 prime Rubix cube SDF/big head figure thing in for £4ish but was only one of them on the shelves. Didn't cave in, tho if it had been those old puzzle slider things I probably would have just for the nostalgia.
@eltawater pm'd ya, thanks.
