Ok heres something to wrap your heads around...

I went to my local Tesco today expecting to see some TF toys as i heard that tesco had gotten in the BB 2-pack, but i go down the toy aisle and NOTHING! Theres a price tag on the shelf for TF movie deluxes, and right under the price on the same sticker it says "discontinued"

WTF!??!.

SOLD! I've been waiting for him to get that one back in and figured I may as well grab the WST Fort Max while I was shopping with him. Is it just me or does anyone else find that the KOs in their smallest collection outnumber the official bots by quite a ways? Since the WST line has only ever seen Jap release Hasbro should put them out as the basic/sub-basic price point in Universe instead of the Legends/Minicons that we got in Classics. They'd fit right in and be a lot cheaper than most of the Jap originals tend to go for these days.

gahhh...over 24 hours without internet...damn local exchange went on the fritz about 8pm Friday and has only just come back on at midnight Saturday...geez, i didnt know how much i need the internet...felt very odd...a whole day of MMOing and forum whoring lost...i feel cheated, well its back now...and im going to bed..have a lot to catch up on tomorrow (or is that later...im never sure in the wee hours)

These made me laugh.

So does anyone have any info as to why Tesco is classing these toys as discontinued?

Here hopping!

Just a heads up guys that while it seems a lot of Wilko's aren't stocking TFs, my local one (Bradford) is still regularly stocking them. Just picked up Classics Ramjet and Astrotrain, but they still had Mirage, Cliffjumper and Grimlock. Plus the Megatron and Magnus Tit's..

Again, anyone want me to pick one up the next time I'm there..drop me a pm.

Dave

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You just picked up that last two Classics I want! Not counting the Botcon seekers, of course. Excuse me, I have to go and be emo for a while now.

If they did WST instead of minicons in classics, I would be tempted to get some. But the current stock of minicons, hell no.

BTW jedimasterguff got 08 BB from Woolies? When did that wave start appearing there? Last I heard, they were only available (seperatly) from FP.

Went into Kidderminster today.

Finally found a Wilkos, which had one Mirage, one Cliffjumper and one tit Megatron in stock.

I've just spent me last load of dubloons for this week on Alt Tracks, so I've hid these three to go buy another time.

I found the protoform Prime, Jazz and Brawl deluxe three pack in Woolies. At £30. Entirely pointless.

I'm not gonna pay another £10 to get the set when I don't want proto Prime.


Still, nice box.

Proto Prime is an sexcellent figure!
I hated the look and the alt till I got him, man he's quite amazing, actuly. Better then Proto SS, and better then Barricade.

Wouldn't take alot to be better than Barricade. Bad poseability, lack of seeable hands, he doesn't stand up unless one leg is behind the other due to it being slightly longer. He spends his time in Alt mode beside cl BB.

Arrrgh, And I see this just after buying WST Grimlock on Ebay, can't.. justify... money.. on.. both. - Still WST Grimlocks a better figure the than Classics one IMO.

hmmm

Well, if they put the price down to £25ish I may get it then.

Or even better, wait till they go on sale.


Anyways, funds for the next month or so go to tits, classics and booze.

Mmmmm, booze in a titty bar....

But what are these classics of which you speak?

Oh just Mirage, Grimlock and Cliffjumper. Wilkos has a thin spread of Mirage and Cliffjumper, but no GL atm.

intresting thing today went to argos to check out if the double pack of prime and 08 BB was in and there listing it as out of stock for the store and the warehouse, been no sign of it online either.

also woolworths now has nothing but a few cyber stompers and optimash's left in, carlisle is dry again!

Damn. Looks like the drought hit the UK then. They must be sucking up all our stock to fill US shops. Bastards.
