Aw thanks

and someone got the ironhide and blackout legends 2 pack before but it got ran over by a bus diden't it? who was that again i have a short memorie...oh well it was a bery good haul indeed and i like the colours of overcast better than dreadwings and green matches with the black i think its also more eye catching than dreadwing but for all the right reasons and not the bad like dreadwing...i'm also waiting for the rest of animated...also dealer did you get your battle begins 2 pack yet because if you didn't theres still 2 left at the Toys R Us at teeside if you wanna get one..and if you live remotly close to the area

Not after the set mate, but ta anyways.

Only thing I want from the set is the axe!

Excellent weekend tf-wise for you then bumblebeeprime. Although im starting to think that this whole 'TFA 2-pack out in UK now' thing is all a big joke against me!

Seriously its not funny, just stop playing with my delicate emotions.

Good to hear Toys R' Us have a good array of TF stuff, I'm heading over to one this week, so hopefully I'll have a nice haul. Really hoping they'll have the Animated 2 pack in.

And if you haven't seen Iron Man yet, go and watch it. One of the best films I've seen in a long time. I don't think there was a single dull moment. Right up there with Batman Begins as an awesome superhero movie.

Honestly I thought there were vast swathes of Batman Begins that were really boring. I enjoyed the film but feel it couldn't hold a candle to Iron Man.

You might want to try teeside then i saw another 2 TFA 2 packs there and it had some jungle bonecrushers if anyone is after one aswell as overcast and stockade. Also they had a decent amount of legends figures.

Two very different films, I'm only really comparing because Begins was, for me, the first superhero film that showed they didn't have to exist as their own little genre but could be good films in their own right.

Little bit out of the way for me. I live near Worcester, so I was planning on hitting the Gloucester store. Anyone live near there know what they're likely to have?

News Credits: 6 · Mon May 12, 2008 10:18 am

I can't help there.

But yeah, Batman Begins was an awesome film. I've yet to see Iron man, but I'm very happy that it's a good film too.

Mon May 12, 2008 10:38 am

Is it just me, or have our shops been slightly restocked? Forbidden Planet and Argos have the same three figures. Jungle Bonecrusher, Stockade and Overcast. I was going to buy Jungle Bonecrusher, but I already own the original, so I opted for Protoform Starscream, and Legends Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, Blackout and Megatron instead.

I'm holding out for the Animated rush.

It gonna get biiig.

That, and I've seen a few premium figures on teh evilbay for reasonable prices shipped. So I'll be saving for them.

But to answer your question, yes.

I think stores are finally starting to order more stock from Hasbro sfter the movie line bombed.

Mon May 12, 2008 10:54 am

well, the tru in shrews still blows, ive sent my spies over today and still nothing so its a conspiracy against me too!

Ew, too much information!

Unfortunately, York doesn't seem to follow the stocking up rules either - although having a few more toy shops would probably remedy that situation.

*sigh*

Competition is the number one cause of toy stores getting new exciting stock.

Yeah, currently we have TRU, Tesco x2, Argos x4, Asda, Sainsburys and Fenwicks that sell TFs - no Woolies, Toymaster, FP or Entertainer

News Credits: 6 · Mon May 12, 2008 12:26 pm

Yeah, that's pretty ****.

Having said that, I depend solely upon 4 TRUs, 4 WW, 2 Entertainers, god knows how many Argos', and a few ye olde toy shops.

And none of them have any good tfs

TF news for once - Forbidden Planet in Nottingham has MP Starscream in for 99.99, and it seems that most other Forbidden Planets have had a restocking as the one in London even has some Henkei!

G1 Grimlock is now mine, he doesn't have the sword or missiles but then again neither did my original one. The stickers aren't in very great condition but I'm slowly massing up a G1 collection and then going on a Reprolabels spree.

Still no sign of my Galvatron or Jumpstarters :-(

Good luck to ThunderThruster, go get 'em mate

Ouch! That's a bit steep isn't it? :shock:

Lucky I got mine for £60 delivered next day!!

At least they got something new in I suppose, it's been shite in there for ages!
Really wish I'd picked up the UM Masterpiece when he was there. Although I'd hate to think what they were asking for him.

Did they have any Henkei in the Notts store?

Tue May 13, 2008 10:29 am

i was so close to buying both MP starscream (for £99) and classics devestator for £60 from the london FP -but decided i should think about it for a bit, after puting them back on the shelf i walked to a nearby manga shop where they also sell TFs and saw the same things for 60 & 45 quid each- needless to say i snaped them both up quick time
i dont think they still have eather of them but they probbily have henkei, classics ,reissues and a few others
if anyones interested the shops called orbital manga and is on Upper St Martin's Lane about 5 mis from the FP
tell them Tyler sent you, i've been after a job there for ages
