i do believe we were promised something around may time, which was the classics i believe, maybe they switched them for the animated, but i hugely doubt it because basically we are britain, and we are filth or so it seems lol

BTW. I forgot to say - be careful when transforming Jazz, both his doors flew off on my first try. (the metal strip that acts as a hinge is very flimsy).

Correct me if I'm wrong (I know I'm not), but doesn't Animated start over here next week?

Does this mean the toys will be over here within a matter of weeks?

Eh, eh?

I demand answers

A guy over at TFW2005 that I bought my MP Megs and Starscream off has been told April as a release date for Animated toys by one of his wholesale suppliers. (He emailed 'em to double check it and they came back saying def April)

So who knows? The recent Movie toys have not been too far behind the US,(some, such as Nightwatch Prime were even before the US) and it does make sense to release at the same time as the show. Even if they didn't do it over there.

Wish I still worked in retail, I'd be able to find out for myself. =(

What am I saying. God no, I don't want to go back to retail.

Ahh!

Where is Tangent?

I miss her.

='(

Let's skip wave 1 of Animated and go straight to wave 2 so I can get my Skywarp.

i'll give you a few guesses at who is the proud owner of this new figure

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220212300825&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=012

Nice.

But I dread to think what the postage is for that beast of a TF! :shock:

(esp with insurance, which I assume you will be getting.)

Had ya noticed that it's a loose figure? ("without packaging")

Yeah but I'd spend about £16.00 (inc P&P) on a loose figure that's not out yet and will cost £20.00 new & in packaging when it finally arrives, definitely not worth picking up the deluxe figures from there though.

If ya don't save the boxes then fair enough you will get it earlier than others. (but it might not be that much earlier, - see my post a couple above)
You're not gonna save much though. £12 shipping + £4.99 starting price + £1.30 insurance( which is prob a good idea form over there!) give a grand total of £18.29.
Personally I would rather wait (potentially) a month or so.

But then again I do keep the boxes and try to wait till things are reduced/on offer!

well the postage wasnt pretty, but even at £50 (inc insurance) i dont think £250 delivered from usa is bad at all for an excellent condition brave, btw, just looking around there are 2 misb brave max's around on ebay atm, one is going for £277 (well it was yesterday morning)

This might be a dumb question, but what is the difference between Brave Max and Fortress Maximus?

Fri Mar 21, 2008 8:15 am

from what i can tell, brave has slightly different colouring, (basically where fort max is grey, brave is black) and brave doesnt have the same accessories, plus brave is newer lol

But I've never had that much money. Ever! Hell, I've got a feeling my life savings come to about £120, and I've been saving that for 14 years, without taking any money out! :shock:

Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:02 pm

Well, if everything goes to plan, I'll be ruler of the world within the next ten years or so, so I'll get some slave to give me his/hers, thus bypassing the need for money :grin:

Just think about it though, me as ruler of the world! Doesn't the thought of it just fill you with joy! :twisted:
