Yeah got two - the 20th and the 29th of May - then OMFG UNI R DONE FOREVAR!!!!!

Still a teeny bit freaked about it, but looking forward to having a job and thus more TF money :D

As for the Animated figures, I need to see more of the show before I make up my mind. Is it on youtube?

I also happen to be going to the States at the end of June and will be coming back shortly after 4th July, so if the Animated figures catch my fancy I'll be able to snag 'em just that little bit earlier. Might bring back a few to flog as well :D

Airlift, can't remember you, but I've recently returned as well. Welcome aboard the ODB, yar!


Yeah, they've all been Tubed.
But for better quality, you will find Torrents and Megaupload for most eps here:

If ya have any probs with any of 'em, give me a PM. I've got all the files on my pc and can sort ya out! :D

Hi by the way!

Anyone else a little disappointed with Blitzwing's head? Not to mention the fact he's a deluxe?

This has been the real clincher for me and I've decided not to get the whole series of Animated figures. Instead I'm just going to get Starscream, Leader Megs, Blitzwing, and a Skywarp repaint should one ever surface.

I'm not at all happy with Blitzwing being shorter than Prime and Ratchet. Just once I wish they'd think about the scale of characters before they make the figures.

Yeah, he is rather short :(

I wonder why they actualy made him a deluxe? Surely it would have been easier to make a larger triple-changer?

I'm still getting them all, none of them are to scale anyway :P

I get that none of them are really to scale, but still... With the activators Bumblebee to make him shorter than the others, the rest of the guys being in the right height order would have made them so much more desirable.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Lockdown sized deluxe i.e. as tall as a voyager! Besides if animated carries on a long time it isn't impossible that we get a bigger version.

I guess seeing him next to the others might change my mind again. Looking at how compact the jet mode is you might be on to something.

Gotta agree with you there. A prime example is movie Blackout & Bonecrusher, why the hell are they so small?

As for Blitzwing, i think he looks sweet. Jet-mode is a little suspect, but the bot mode is great. Can't wait for him and screamer.

Although I've mentioned this in the Autobot/HMW thread, I thought I'd best post it here as well.

Since my last proper visit here (october last year!) alot's been happening to me in RL, but now thing's are finally returning to normal (along with me buying some more movie related toys :D ) I've decided it was high time I returned to the fold.



Your Autobot friend based in jolly old England,

Airlift


Welcome back! Now get into missions so that I can personally dismember you! :twisted:

Looks like we got a few more returning members now. Good!
Nothing else to say today! Is tomorrow's animated new? (Online I mean)

I'm going to be getting one, if you want I can get two and we can split the shipping. How does that sound?

Also, looks like Blitzwing is a Voyager after all? ... I'm so confused... What size is he? =(

Went to Forbidden Planet today for the first time in ages and they had the whole Henkei range plus encore Jazz and Revoltech Megatron. :shock:
I was overcome with indecisiveness but now regret leaving Henkei Grimlock, or Encore Jazz, or Revoltech Megs behind.

Why all of them at once... I have a budget damn you.

Make that three Tek!

I must have this set. Must. UM will cry without it.

TFClub has seriously lost my respect over this. Why is it that everyone thinks just shipping to the pissing US is a good sales strategy??

I would actually pay double for one of those sets. They sell it for $40? I'd pay £40.

They got it on YTV today! :(



Blitzwings alt modes look awesome. Can't remember whether I've commented on that in here, but his jet mode looks much better.

I believe Canada is still in the same timezone as the US, so it won't have been shown yet. You need to learn to be more patient MB :P
