I think I'd sit on it and wait for the Animated/Universe lines to come out (whichever floats your boat).

News Credits: 6 · Tue May 13, 2008 12:33 pm

I don't have Rodimus, but I do have Mirage- the original owner of the mould.

I can honestly say buy him. He is awesome.

You must buy reprolabels for Jazz - they make so much difference believe me.

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?
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?

i actually did by MP ultra magnus when they had him in FP, cost me £90 at the time!

The markup in Forbidden Planet is disgusting. There was a time when they were my only option for buying cool stuff.

Thanks be to the internet.

Tue May 13, 2008 1:26 pm

yes FP prices are discusting like i said i walked 5 mins round the corner and got mp ss for 40 pounds less although i may have got a better deal on the internet i would have had to wait and postage costs allways f' me over

if anyone knows a better place to buy alternators (hound) than ebay please let me know!

You know, as temtping as that sounds...

*grumble* I've gotta go hiking tomorrow, and apparently its going to pour it down... yay... :roll:

News Credits: 6 · Wed May 14, 2008 10:43 am

I dunno about pouring it down, but it's supposed to be a cooler tomorrow. Balances out nicely I think.

I broke a mate's CoD 4 disk, so I'll have to spend my animated fund on a replacement

Damn 360s and their tempermentalness.

Everyone seen the animated spoilers?

I don't know how to put my feelings into words. It's too awesome. OS looks awesome, double-spy Shockwave is genius, 6 seekers (and not just the boring old coneheads), Blurr, Constructicons, Omega Supreme, Omega Supreme and, did I mention, Omega Supreme.

I cannot wait to see the toy.

wouldnt it be typical if it rained this weekend when i have a full weekend of golf then i go away monday next week..............CURSE YOU WEATHER!!!!!!!!

News Credits: 7 · Wed May 14, 2008 12:29 pm

I'm allowing myself £60 to spend on toys this weekend. If we've heard any news on wave 1 of Animated being out by then I'll be hitting TRU for a look see, but failing that I'll be ordering MP Megs Fri/Sat. Should still allow me to save some cash this coming week, provided that I manage to keep my pub expendatures down to just the one night and lay off the spirits. After all, Auto Assembly is getting closer and I want to have some serious spending money with me this year.

News Credits: 6 · Wed May 14, 2008 12:37 pm

No kidding, what with all that animated, henkei, G1, MP, Universe, movie etc etc etc goodness coming out.

Yay! I've been waiting forever to use that smiley!

And yeah, those Animated spoilers are freaking amazing! Just a shame there'll be so many Starscream repaints that I'll buy anyway... :roll:

News Credits: 1 · Wed May 14, 2008 3:15 pm

I don't know about the Notts store, I might be going there in the next couple of days for a revision break so I will let you know

Figures arrived! G1 Galvatron is amazing, his stickers are shabby so Reprolabels to the rescue again. His laser noises still work and in my opinion he's fecking cool.

As for the Jumpstarters...against all odds, I love them. Majority opinion, in your face

I like using that one as often as possible

I was on my way to Games Workshop in Cribbs Causeway last Friday, and I happened to have a look in TRU just because, and what did I spot? Only the aforementioned - I GRABBED one of those mothers and ran to the checkout, tearing them from the box the second I was out of the door [I had to show some restraint, right?

]

So if you're after this pack, i suggest looking in your local TRU - it's all they have right now, but it was certainly a pleasant suprise... the figures are so so good.

i was thining of going to auto assembly this year but having never been to a convention befor i dont know what to expect, is it worth it?
