back to the MGS/animated question,
id definatly go with the figs, MGS will be out for ages and unless theres some preorder offer/limited edition you'll save yourself some money by leaving it a few weeks.
in zavvi (where i work) GTA changed price on the day and has since chnaged 2 more times, with it being a big release there'll be a lot of compatition price wise. leaving it a while means you can avoid the hassle and get it when the price war has mellowed out and the stock is readily available.
i have vision's of it being a GTA/mario kart/wii fit repeat where nobody has it after release.
basiclly after pre orders we had some stock to sell of these but they went pretty rapid and now as soon as we get wii fit and mario in its gone again.

Hm, not a great day for me as far as acquisitions go. The guy that I ordered that MP Megs from has refunded me rather than carry on with the transaction outside of ebay, which is fair enough but does still leave me looking for an MP Megs. On top of this yank member DavidT has turned down my offer on his Cybertronian Bumblebee kit (5x what it's currently going for on his auction) because he's not comfortable with international shipping. Again fair enough, but these things show up that rarely that it does suck that I can't have this one despite having the cash to pony up for it. At around basic size when built that baby would go really well with the WW Titaniums. Ah well.

I'd offer to buy another Henkei TC to make up for it, but that would be silly. Even if I do have two Classics Skywarps.
Whilst Henkei 'Warp does look good, I think I'll settle for putting a Reprolabels sticker set on one of mine. Use the other as a stunt double.

The attitude of a few on here over this makes me laugh. Throwing their toys out of the pram because the kid across the street got the same thing.
It's pathetic. And rather selfish that they would rather that the rest of the fandom don't get these toys.

QC will always be an issue with toys. Hasbro aren't the worst, but they're a big contender for poorest QC.
no problem at all, whats a decent price for you?

Yes...well...urm....what post?
What I meant to say was:
"Gosh chaps, I feel great relief at having done that exam and only having one remaining. When I take my exam on the 27th, that will be the final one in my university career."
I guess those sneaky post-exam drinks really did affect my typing
No new TF news, still waiting for MP Megs to come and when he does, I'm gonna do a new round of collection pictures. At the moment I've only got pictures of 11 or so on Facebook, and that's WAY outdated

if anyone else wants me to look out for anything just let me know
To begin, I shall explain my quest.
You see, during the release of energon, I only ever found two parts of the Superion combiner- the blue bomber and the red jet.
So that means I'm still after Stormjet (the centrepiece), the black jet and the silver bomber.
Just so you know who to look for;
http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0
http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0
http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0
Also, if you happen across him for cheap, I wouldn't mind http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0
As for price? I suppose somewhere around the original price for each, or hopefully lower?
So, that's around £7+£7+£10+£10= £34. So if you can get them for £30 or less in total, you're a saint. Tbh, I can't imagine them being that sought after nowadays, so you should be able to get them pretty damn cheap. And haggle man!
But yeah, if you come across them, that'd be great. The lower the price you can get them for the better of course.
I must say, I like this new addition to the crew we made
Yeah, the claw weapon that came with the Dropkick mould was kinda ****, but the figure itself is a real beaut. Congrats man!
You got stealth BB from a different guy then?

lol Weird.
I blame Hasbro, for not giving us the other 3. We need those man!
Remember chronic, I asked first
I've only ever seen complete sets on ebay, and they charge £40 and up for them- mainly cos they are the superlink versions. No one seems to be selling the hasbro ones...
