Shame Bulkhead and Lugnut are so diddy

I want Prowl now too....

I haven't really compared them to any other lines either, all I know is that Starscream is a lot taller than I expected.

If they had everything then why did you not get him!?!?!

I only had £30...

Ah well, there's still time. They've only just been released after all!

I'll get cyb mode Prime (or con someone into getting him for me), and hold out for Ratchet and BH.

Toysrus has done it to me again I went to my local one in stockport to hopefully get Starscream, Bumblebee, Prowl and Lockdown but what did they have 1 voyager megatron, 1 voyager bulkhead and deluxe cybertron mode prime so I left empty handed but my brother did buy voyager bulkhead. Why is my toysrus so crap.

Tut tut MB - lack of money is no excuse - you need to think outside the box if you know what I mean :-?

News Credits: 6 · Fri May 30, 2008 11:14 am

I did think outside the box! I went with a tenner! :lol:

I can wait. I am a man of patience. Cyb mode Prime will be mine.

I'll be able to sort you out a Starscream in a few weeks if you're still looking.

More than ten years of collecting has made me a battle-harden vet collector. It's all a matter of time B)

Well TRU Enfield has - or had - the Three Voyagers, Megatron Starscream and Bulkhead. I went for Bulkhead only as there's a lot of month left at the end of the money at the moment. No Deluxes. Glad i preordered Prowl and Prime now.

Been away for a while and couldn't find any mention of Enfield here but could only go back so far before my eyes started spinnning.

Must get new glasses.

Damn been on ebay for 10 minutes and stumbled on so many things i want, so tempted to spend at least £60-70 in one go, im goin to Tru liverpool on sunday see if they got animated stuff, only reli want Bumblebee, Prowl and the 2 pack

News Credits: 6 · Sat May 31, 2008 5:57 am

You know what?

Deluxe Megatron's alt mode is actually really nice!

I love these figures. I want another £20 so I can get Prowl and cyb Prime.

Sat May 31, 2008 8:05 am

well i had a decent haul the last 2 days, went to Southen yesterday and found a comic shop, was hoping to get some Henkei but all he had was movie stuff, so instead i got a 3" SW Titanium Red Guard TIE Interceptor and a DC Direct 6" 'Batman & Son' Batman figure, which is one of the best sculpted Batman figs ive seen for years...

And today i went to TRU Enfield, where they had the 3 Voyagers (no deluxes though :sad:

), picked up Starscream and a couple of the new Indy figures, which are both cool

Sat May 31, 2008 8:30 am

Does that mean you got their last Starscream?

I was gonna head back there later.

well unless they had more out back (which i dont think they did, they didnt have any deluxes out back), then im afraid so...sorry :grin:

I was tempted by Megs and Bulkhead, but i want the Leader versions...nearly got stuck up there when my bike wouldnt start up...but thankfully i got it going

Not somewhere you really want to be stuck unless you love Krispy Kreme.

Bulkhead was well worth the money, shame about Starscream, but I do regret not getting a Jetstorm yesterday so maybe I'll head back anyway.

My wallet has just started weeping quietly in the corner.

Interesting way of putting it!

Don't think anyone has mentioned it, but Alt Wheeljack is down to £7.39 at Argos at the moment. :grin:

Ravage is under a tenner as well.

Sat May 31, 2008 9:52 am

They only had the Animated 2 pack in Luton TRU sadly.

I should have info (and hopefully toys

) from Watford branch next weekend.

got Wheeljack a while ago (paid full price for it...kept missing the deals), but none of my local stores have any Ravages, prolly coz it isnt in the catalogue anymore

News Credits: 6 · Sat May 31, 2008 12:17 pm

I'd say it's a shame that Argos don't get more new alt stock, but I've got them all now

Man, I love animated.

Sat May 31, 2008 1:39 pm

the forbidden planet in wolves. I wouldnt even know where to start with tru in oldbury, was tempted to go to stoke to get some and see some of the family aswell but the missus has told me to wait until they are in shrewsbury lol.

Sat May 31, 2008 3:40 pm

So Dealer, or anyone else with the 2 pack, can you please explain this 'punch action' you mentioned? I can't see any signs of it in the galleries.

do you remember the original He-Man figures?

Just like them

if not, then the wasit joint is on a spring, twist the waist and it springs back in a 'punching' action

Sat May 31, 2008 3:54 pm

I had to take Prime's waist apart and adjust the spring so the waist would line up properly for transformation.

I think it had been twisted at an angle too long in the packaging.

Sat May 31, 2008 3:59 pm

Ah I see. I think I'll pass on that then. I'll stick to Cybertronian Prime and Prowl from the first wave.

Sat May 31, 2008 4:58 pm

Don't get me wrong they're both great figures. No one else has mentioned a problem with Prime's waist and he does have The Best Axe Ever. I also think the deluxe Megatron is slightly better looking than the Voyager version, certainly in robot mode.
