I'm light on funds, so I dropped £420 on a Dell Inspiron. 2 GHz process (667 FSB I think), 2 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, 2 MP webcam and 8x DVD/RW drive. In midnight blue.

My thinking is I can just send it back for an upgrade as the money comes in.

Animated Deluxe Soundwave and Jazz now at Tesco, Pengam Green, Cardiff.

Awesome sauce. Might have to make a trip to Tesco unless things pick up in Worcester.

Btw, why is TFA Prowl shelfwarming in my local Woolies? Is this a local phenomenon, or do people not like him?

News Credits: 2 · Sun Sep 21, 2008 7:12 am

There are more Prowls per case than any other figure I think. There are loads of him in Tesco too despite the fact he gets bought.

News Credits: 5 · Sun Sep 21, 2008 7:17 am

Ah, sounds reasonable. I don't know what the case breakdowns are for TFA without going and looking it up, so we'll go with that. At least it means it'll be easy for me to get a spare Prowl or two for repainting.

Mwahahahahah - you can be my Hull scout now then, seeing as how there is no-one there on any of the forums to tell me what stock TRU has. They tend to get stuff fairly early in releases so you've made the right choice if you ask me.

As for being close to York, you wont gain much from that. Fenwicks is only gonna be stocking Animated, and the toy department is only big enough for them to get 1 box of voyagers/deluxes/leaders out at any 1 time.

Hi Everybody!

not much to report other than the SS corination kit is a huge disappointment it came in a massive box making me think MP05 upgrade came with it -which it didnt and the gold paint on the shoulder pads is coming off

still though magnus upgrade should come soon hopefuly that'll make me feel better, already thinking of painting some green on him, spraying his gun white and making some missle lauchers

also looking for Energon galvatron (the big one) to go with him
-if anyone knows where i could get him for a decent price i'd be in there debt

i wonder if animated BB's rocket boosters would work, they'd need modding but they might do the trick

I can do that. I was estatic to see there was a TRU there. The first thing on my list is to stop there and molest their stock 8D

Perhaps not, but York is a pretty nice place. Wouldn't mind a visit once in a while.

Anyone know a set date for the UM armour? I've a feeling my parents might have to send it up to me...

Its more than a pretty nice place - I wouldn't live anywhere else! I just wish we'd get a few more places to buy TFs

Glad to see this place is back up and Dealer's returned, shame HMW's still down though.

My new legends came through yesterday from Kapow Toys, next day delivery! Hound isn't quite as good as he should be as his arms don;t quite sit over his wheels in robot mode and seem to stick at a slight angle in alt mode. G2 Megs's expression is worth the figure alone! arms are a bit funny (they are on Jazz as well) but pretty cool. Jazz is probably my fave but he suffers from lack of attention to detail in the paint as his side windows are left white and his arms are a bit of a bind to settle in alt mode.

I'm sure I'll be addicted to the free american skittles soon! Curses, that must be Red Leader's masterplan!

News Credits: 6 · Mon Sep 22, 2008 2:13 am

Aye, Kapow looks to be an awesome store. I can imagine purchasing quite a few things from Red Leader in the future.

And chocolate skittles! What the hell america!
The new legends do look awesome, but I don't think I'll be getting any. Not so keen on the size.

Good to see you're still with us SC! =D

My bro got a large, black package. Very large, quite heavy.

Who knows what it could be! 8D

Can't get my metal muff. The one site won't accept my card for some reason, the other site doesn't get it in for another week. Useless to me =(
