Ah true true! Now I want to dig out my old megadrive and play :P

My dissatisfaction with TRU truly knows no bounds, the staff seem to be either stupid or lazy (I heard a supervisor call into the storeroom 'stop smoking and get back to work!' which really boosted my confidence in TRU) so I really can't wait til my hols in the US and for cheap toys :grin:

Please do! But you don't have to PM me; this IS the UK sightings thread :wink: It;ll be nice to know what kinda stock TRU has atm.
I am awesome at saving money. I made another £10 out of thin air yesterday (and I spent about £8 on biscuits, jaffa cakes and chocolate milk 8) :P ).


Also, it is High Command's wish that I let you know that he currently a political prisoner, and won't be able to join us anymore due to alleged homophobic behaviour having him banned. ('gratz if you can make sense of that

You lucky swine! I went to my local TRU on Sunday, after squeezing past all the kids and parents wasting their lives at the DR Who display, the TF isle was full of mostly old stock. Some fella (not a blue shirt, a suit!) came along with a box. I thought that was it and like a little boy i got excited as i squeezed my girlfriends hand. However he opened the box to reveal movie deluxes. Asked him if he knew when the Animated figures were coming out. He fobbed me off with some story about the movie deluxes being from the cartoon. I looked at him with pure disgust. But i respected that he was just trying to help...although he didn't. However i picked him Movie Stockade and legends jazz and bonecrusher. Not a total waste.

What a newb. Well, Stockade is a nice figure. I can't think for the life of me why you'd buy deluxe Bonecrusher....but you are sure the assisstant was trying to help, and not just trying to sell toys?

If I squeezed my girlfriend's hand because of Transformers, she'd punch me. Very hard.

Nah, he was just trying to blag it. Bless him.

It was Legends boney i bought the other day, but the deluxe one isn't that bad... although saying that i've only had him out of the box once.

For no apparent reason, I just thought what would happen to poor Brainstorm if he ever came back into the tf mythos.


Hasbro would have to call him Thought Shower to avoid discriminating againt those that suffer seizures :lol:

Who came up with the thought that "Brainstorm" might be offensive? That person seriously needs a slap and healthy dose of reality, followed by another slap.

For some reason I see it as being more offensive to patronise these people by changing the words. I mean...honestly...as soon as a person who suffers from seizures tells us they're offended, I'll listen. You can't speak for other people. It isn't right.

MP Starscream has arrived. Havn't transformed him yet, but I'm full of like. Even the (surprisingly light) weathering doesn't bother me, I'd go so far as to say that on this figure it actually works once you've got it in hand. The panel lines look gorgeous, in fact I think all that needs doing to him is to apply some silver backed 'con emblems over the ones on his wings so that they're the right way up in robot mode (screw show acuracy on this particular point).

Cleaning up of the battle damage on the Battle Begins deluxes isn't far off. Had a bit of trouble matching the red on the front of Prime to the colour of the plastic but that's about there now and Megs is done. Can't get Prime finished until I pick up some yellow paint though, so it might be the weekend before I sign off on the pair of them.
