Hey guys, quick question about Argos. If the website says something is out of stock for home delivery and its also unavailable to reserve for store pickup could it mean that the items are leaving the catalogue?

Or that they are waiting on a delivery and have none in main warehouse or the store you tried.
New cat is out in a couple of weeks, so they might not have the new un.
Which item is it? I can try the stores round here for ya.
If its Alt Prime or Ravage then it's unlikely to be in the next catalogue.

They should have an option to find the nearest store with it in stock. (if they have any at all) I have suggested it in an email, but got the standard reply of "we will consider it"
I think it's a good idea personally. If you really want an item it would be good to have the option of travelling as far as you want, without having to put every location around you into their stock checker.

If anybody cares the Roadbot 2-pack (1:18 Hummer and 1:32 Ford GT) is down to £9.99 in Argos. I just picked it up (only for the Ford really) but haven't opened it yet, I'll report back when I've liberated them if anyone's interested.

I was just browsing and noticed that Nightwatch Prime, the Cyber Stompers and the voyager Prime/BB 2 pack were unavailable for delivery or reservation. I didn't want to buy any of them but was just thinking they could be leaving the catalogue (thanks for the offer though).

I think they under estimated the demand big time for Nightwatch Prime and the Prime/BBee two pack. They have been (mostly) out of stock for while.
As for 'em being in the new cat....
Maybe, considering they are exclusives to Argos. But I really couldn't tell you for sure.......even if you were a doctor! (see my sig if ya don't get that last bit!)

I had a fun day today !

First off I went to Woolies, they had loads of Recon Barricades and 1 Elita-1.

Secondly I went to Asda, thay had absoloutly nothing at all.

Lastly I went to Toys 'R' Us thay had the full first wave of Deluxes but they are now sadly missing 1 Scorponok and 1 Wreckage.

So now I am 4 Deluxes away from completing the Deluxes

WOOHOO

Wish my day was that exciting. Found out yesterday that my Woolies is closing in 2 weeks so thought I'd take a last trip in to see which TFs they had before it shuts. All they had was a big lot of nothing. Then I took a trip to Fenwicks to find that they have stopped selling TFs. So Argos, TRU (and if they decide to bring back their TF sections Tesco and Asda) are the only places in York that are gonna be getting any of my TF money.

Watched animated episode 4. That's shaping up to be a good show. Even Sari has gotton on my like list of characters. Seriously, if you aint watching it through any means neccessary, you're missing out.

Episode 4? You mean theres been three new episodes since the full length first episode came out?

If anyone is thinking of getting the Roadbots two-pack from Argos my advice is to forget it and spend the money on whiskey. What a bunch of unashamed kerrrrap .

To be honest I only transformed the GT, which I thought was gonna be great. That was enough to put me off bothering with the Hummer which looked inferior to begin with. With the GT you have to remove five panels just to change the thing to a pitiful, unarticulated robot mode. Cheap plastic, no knees and a big Ford symbol on the forehead is my idea of naff, just my opinion though.

Whoops. I classed the 90 minute pilot as eps 1,2,3. Only 1 new ep since the full length.

Torrent available if that's more your bag baby!

Nothing new. Just thought I'd better check in after being out for this long.

I'd just like to say that animated is really growing on me. But I'm sortta stuck about the toys.

The me that only wants the best says animated isn't what I want in a toy line, so I shouldn't bother. Yet the completionist in me says BUYBUYBUY! And the toys do look kinda fun, even with the funky chins...

Yeah, I'm undecided about Animated too. I think the show is good and I was almost certain that I was gonna get the toys until I saw the size comparison of Bumblebee and Bulkhead in the Toys Forum. Why the BB toy is as tall as Bulkhead I have no idea but that really puts me off.

That is truly awful scale. Isn't Bulkhead a voyager as well?
Stoopid.

I may still get Prime and Ratchet, maybe even Prowl.

You did good there, huh?

Wish I hadn't missed Phaze though, I can almost smell the 20,000 xp...
Trivia- four of us in there are ODB, but only one is a bot. Guess who?

Yeah, that truly is an excellent performance by my 'bot there
I just need to build up his courage and speed and then he'll be awesome

If nothing else being a bot means that there'll always be something to talk about if its a slow news day.

Looks like your 'con could do with a bit of training

Like who got beaten the worst?

It's been pretty quiet for the cons lately. Apart from the usual bitching and moaning, but I haven't seen too many handbags thrown lately.


I just can't quite understand why it is that a member will join one faction, then start moaning and whining and going on about how they're going off to another factions ASAP. Good riddance I say, I'm sick of their posts spamming up darkmount.


And people are really getting flustered over V2 again. We haven't even been given a rough estimate for release, so why the **** is everyone going nuts over it???!





So.......what's going on in the bot forum lately? I suppose it's pretty quiet since most of the board-going bots went Maximal or Predacon.



Anything going down in the AWC forum?

Not much on either unfortunately. Zmas, board problems and the big switch seem to have put most people off posting.
