With all the Animated listings saying it's on at 9.30 am, I keep expecting to be able to watch it now. I keep forgetting I have to wait till around 8 tonight to see it. :-(

Still, Casetticons are being sent on Monday, so they should be here on TUe. Mmmm, minty fresh rumble/ratbat. Can't wait.

And no, at 2 am I'm usually having some very weird dreams. The other day, (skipping most of the dream as it was just too weird/disturbing to describe) a pair of jumbo jets crashed on me. Very noisy and the wheel of teh second one really hurt when it landed on my leg. I was lying down after the noise of teh first crash blasted me into the ground. Come to think of it, perhaps I would be better being online at 2 am. :-? I would just need to find something to occupy my attention for the night. B-)

Ok smartarse. :roll: The wheel landed on my leg before continuing along the row of wrecked houses and jungly stuff. Although it did seem to shrink on impact. 8-} And this is the kind of stuff I consider normal tame dreaming. Question: do you guys believe dreams mean anything, or are they just random? Cos I hate to think what my dreams mean.

Supposedly dreams do have some meaning. But it gets all complicated when you're trying to figure out what it is they mean.

hehe, just blew £100 pounds in the Entertainer and Toys r Us hehe.

i bought reissue Skywarp, Tracks and Red Alert

i bought a Universe Jetfire (which ive been meaning to buy for ages, but i havent seen him for ages)

and i bought the Death Star Darth Vader. i dont normally like SWTF but he talks and everything, and hes the same size as my MP Prime, so he looks cool next to prime and Unicron lol


i got the new Argos catalogue when it came out. Nothing im interested in to be fair, it was all fairly poo!


Dealer Toys r us aint got anything in hardly at all. They have the reissues i bought today, prowl, and loads of the very cheap movie toys. as for the entertainer, they havent got anything much either :?

By Universe Jetfire, do you mean Classics Jetfire? And what does Vader sound like talking? Didn't know he spoke.

Thanks for the update. That saves me travelling around. It really does look to be a boring couple of months toy-wise. Glad I have my wants list to keep me busy.

I think I may get Ths hybrid Prime for my birthday. Always fancied him

Well, I opted not to go to Argos today, but instead went to TRU - what a waste of time that was. Not one single deluxe, but plenty of G1 reissues (skywarp, red alert and tracks - there may have been an inferno as well), FABs and robot replicas. Tesco in Beverley had allspark battles legends 2-packs (nightwatch prime and stealth starscream). I also got spotlight blaster, which is really good - but I wont spoil it for anyone who wants to read it but hasn't yet.

Oh yeah - glad to see you're still around SC.

Hybrid Prime is a rather swank take on G1 Prime. He's small, comes with transforming trailer, stand, bot symbol base; he looks great in both modes. And he also comes with G1 Sideswipe's rocket pack.


Check the Seibs galleries for images.

I was gonna PM you lot the pics, but I suppose this is quicker.

Enjoy!



Yeah, I've never seen a Reissue Inferno in there either. Which is dissapointing, since I want to buy it in person.



The only place with a THS convoy gallery is http://www.tfkenkon.com.


I'd link you directly to the gallery, but the site's changed so that there is no web address for individual galleries...

Thanks Oddsey. I never can find what I'm after anymore.

Yeah. I warned the guy that the mods would come down on him. Too late.


He's about 4 inches tall this figure. And retails for about £40. I must have him!


Xybertoys is great! £36 shipped! Oddysey, you just saved me £15! Thanks!

No probs.
Does Prowl look a bit odd to you? :???:
The grey proto looked so much better. :-( Maybe he's just not very photogenic!

Prowl looks off in robot mode. I guess the pic has him mistransformed or something. Sunstreaker and Powerglide are not as impressive. Onslaught, not so keen on his alt mode, looks Animated-ish (latest ep not up yet :-x ) but robot mode looks awesome. Octane looks killer in colour. And I mean seriously killer. Him and Hanky Panky Megatron are the ones not out yet that are on my get list.

Funny, we got wrong for posting the pics, but not talking about them. Or describing them. Go figure.

Haha - Cheers MB.
Unfortunately I think the protos of all of them look so much better :-( Powerglide had so much potential - but his head looks stupid on top of the white body, and Prowl looks a bit plain in bot mode.
