I shall NEVAR be patient! :P

I suck at timezones :P


That wooden Prime looks full of win. Shame I have no use for a 6-7 foot wooden Prime.

Why don't you ask him to make a Skywarp Tek? :P That'd be a helluva piece to add to your collection :lol:


Tek, where are you plotting on getting the UM armour from? Any idea of the SRP?

I'm fully expecting that we'll need £30-£40 a piece for that armour. But it'll be worth it.

I don't know. But as soon as one becomes available I will jump on it right away. If they only offer shipping to the states that's not a problem as I'll have it shipped to my sweet honey then she will ship it to me.

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??


Especially when they could make double here what they would make in the US.


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


originally it wasd $50, but i think that it was increased to $75, so £40 would be about right!

Let's hope so.
I can see online scalpers buying these up; already people are saying they'll buy two or three.

There had better be a limit of 1 per person.



Out of interest, does anybody know what the new episode of animated will be called? :???:

I'm puzzled about today's Animated too. We'll have to wait for a bit I suppose.

I did ask in the Animated discussion in Comics and Cartoons but no response.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also saw the Allspark Repaint Jazz in the cylindrical packaging on Sainsbury's today marked with a 'Sainsbury's Exclusive' sticker. The blue markings weren't that unattractive but I'm gonna stop short of getting that mold again unless we see a late release of G1 Deco Jazz.

Today's Animated is called "Return of the Headmaster"

New stuff in Sainsburys eh? Best keep an eye out for stuff I actually want then.

So, the premium line has started to appear slowly then?

Good news. Sainsburys having them, though, is rather weird...

No worries MB.

Although, I remember reading something in the toys forum. IIRC, the allspark repaints of Jazz and co are NOT the premium line, as the premium line is the ones with metallic paint, not allspark blue paint.

Yeah, I made an urp, it is the allspark lines later waves.


I guess I'm just really hoping that we get some premium love, otherwise I won't be getting a Prime or Ironhide.

I have a feeling we wont be getting them, simply because its coming up to the animated release, and we still haven't got the allspark voyagers yet.

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:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=161859

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!


Cheers old chap, I see you're in Notts. Are you a student or a local? :P

No real new apart from dissertation is DONE, and the gf is gonna be buying me MP Megatron on Monday. I knew going shoe-shopping had its rewards :mrgreen:

I'm imported parts (student at Notts uni). I finish this year but will be here next year to be with my gf in her final year.

The toys shops around here = suck

yeah that relly p**sed me off! if it had been on a wide release, i wouldn't have given a damn, but as its going to be limited, i think that those individuals are extremly selfish and self induldgent:

'so i can display it in robot and vehicle mode'

i'd like to rip their f**king heads off!

Exactly.


All those people buying up more than one deserve to swiftly kicked it the nuts, by someone wearing large, spiky, metal-toed boots.



I'm already starting to save, in the feeble hope that I can grab one of these sets.

I remember going into FP AGES ago and seeing that MP Ultra Magnus and thinking whoever gets it is going to be one happy guy. Now I finally know he got a good home :P

I've got a couple of things in FP - Classics Ramjet and a Japanese Micromaster of all things. John Lewis has a fairly random selection of stuff - the best thing I got there was Deluxe Barricade and Brawl for 6.95 each. Evidently it was a pricing error :P

I didn't know that Wilkos had any TFs, do you mean the one in Broadmarsh or the one by the Victoria Centre? I know that the one by the Viccy Centre sells loads of knock-off Lego...

The Entertainer in the Viccy Centre is usually worth checking out, they even have a couple of G1 Onslaught KOs in atm.
