If they did a Rumble and Frenzy set, my bro would probably buy it though




See Sonray, that's the info I'm looking for. At times like these, I use fan reviews and advice to help decide my next purchase.

Glad i could help.

Another plus with the leader class prime is he is highly poseable. Those big feet of his give a lot of support and allow for some really cool and unusual poses.

The only thing i dont like about leader prime is the stupid little gun he has, but that can be taken off and left in the box. Oh and he cant look up....like dogs.

How's the backpack on him?

What would you rate the bugger?

Leader prime doesnt have much of a backpack if thats what you are asking. Voyager prime on the other hand has a big arse camping pack on his back. Its horrible.

Id give leader prime a 9 out of 10, and voyager a 6.5. I only got voyager prime cos he came with the Argos two pack. I bought it for 08 BB, Prime was just an added bonus to me. I was gonna sell him but i decided to keep him just to boost up my collection's numbers. He sits in the back of my shelving unit behind all the other, superior primes i have.

Longarm is great. Good posability, good colours in robot mode, nice sculpt with lots of details. The gun is fixed to his hand, which can get in the way a little (but is held on by a screw so can be "unfixed"). Vehicle mode is a bit plain looking, being mostly white, and awkward to get him back into, but he's fun and looks great in robot mode. Had him in a "Taking aim" pose aimed at the 'cons on the other side of my room for a while.

I'm beginning to feel like the kid in The Emperor's New Clothes. I think Voyager Prime is pretty good, but Concept Bumblebee is really over-rated. Posability is limited, and his automorphs really get in the way.

Oh, anyone know if/where Classics Ramjet and Astrotrain can still be found for a reasonable price in the UK? e-bay prices seem to be about £20, which I think is OTT for a £10 figure.

Since they still haven't had a proper wide release here your best bet is either Wilkinsons (£7 Euro style packaging) or Forbidden Planet (£13 US packaging). Since Euro packaged ones definately do exist they should show up somewhere else at some stage. I think it was said a few pages back that The Range have been carrying all the Classics deluxes, not entirely sure whether that's all that we've seen previously or all period.

What, the Sneak Attack set for £7? Aren't the normal 2 packs going for £5 each? Unless we're talking at cross purposes that's quite a deal (and I seriously considered importing that pack for a premium before it was known that the UK would get it).

Good news on the comic Frimal.

I picked up Longarm today. I'll whack a review in that review thread I made yesterday. But I do like him.

Also, a friend agreed to get the Blitzwing/Jazz sets from Reprolabels for me. Yey!!


And on a final note: I'M NOT ALLOWED TO BE 21!!!!!!! I know compared to a lot of members here, I'm still in my infancy, but dammit, I don't like it.

This will be my retierment yacht.

My local tescos still has alts beleive it or not. Hardly anything movie line wise though. One leader megatron, longarm, some screamers and some RR bumbles. Oh and a voice changer helmet, some optimash primes and some real gearlings or whatever they are called.

Who is lazerwave? I dont see anyone by that name in seibertrons binaltech gallery.

But judging by what you got for him, maybe i should sell off one of my BT's....how much do you think a BT Sideswipe with slightly chipped paint and no weapon is worth?

bt lazerwave is shockwave right??

DARKAGEIS wrote:bt lazerwave is shockwave right??

Yes, he is. Well, Shockblast, but hey.

Ahh i thought so. STOP TYRING TO CONFUSE US! :p

So anyway....i have a BT side swipe with no box and no engine but the rest is in good condition....who would like to swap for something in the same condition?

The only things I have and don't really want are Kiss player Atari and the CD from Autorooper.

Oh, and an ex-wife who's going thru a PITA stage.

Just got back from my Local John Lewis store (Sheffield) and they have tons of deluxe '74 Bumblebee's, Barricade's, Scorp's, Brawl's, and Wreckage's all for £6.95 each!

£7?
May have to get Brawl, and another Barricade to butcher

Gaaar,

Amazon still have a lot of the classics available but harder to spot as they haven't posted up pics. Astrotrain's a tenner so if you buy something else £5.00 or more you won't be hit with the £5.00 ish P&P. I'm ordering Starscream as soon as I get my bonus from work just before they make me redundant. No Ramjet by the looks of things though.

My Classics Grimmy arrived yesterday but no chance to play as I'm job hunting now. I've also turned some of my attention to SW figures now I know play.com is gonna have Darth Revan from KotOR for £6.00 and I've also finally settled on a decent Boba Fett and Sandtrooper.

No Darn John Lewis' in Leeds! (actually that's good as I'm gonna be broke soon if I don't get a job and a cheap TF still costs money)

Feeling a little smug - I got MISB Keyring G1 Cliffjumper on ebay for just over £2.00 inc P&P.

So no one wants to trade with me then?

Hey guys, not been postin much of late, as I be rather busy.

But, I need your most helpful advice!

What Tf comics would you say have the best art? And, where can I find them? I'm not talking single expesive G1 ones or nothing, just some complete sets with nice art. What are the complete books called, thbs? tbhs? Ahh, nevermind....

Anyway, I'v been meaning to get the Infiltration, Escalation and Spotlight as well as War Within as I hear they are good. SO my questions are, are they any good artwise, what others would you recomend and where can I get them? Amazon needs weeks to get them instock aparantly, I dont think play.com has them all and Forbidden Planet is far too pricey...


If they have an ace plot as well that's a major plus, but from the few comics I have nabed from people, it often seems to be just one or the other...
