Grimlock's alright, just wouldn't have been too hard for him to be better. Reminds me, I need to do something to make his sword gimmick work properly. Sodding flames don't pop out when I put it in his hand. Bah.

Gotta find details of Bulkhead's chair mode as well.

Sledge, when you put the sword in Grim's hand, try turning it so he's holding it sideways. It can take that.

Oh, I see! Twisting the wrist causes the peg in his hand to move in and out. That could have been a little clearer on the instructions. Cheers dude.

I haven't had turkey since christmas day! =/

Has anyone seen any Silverbolts in a Sainsburys near them? They still going for £15?
I'm only going to try again tomorrow, then I give up. Impossible to find anything in the midlands.



The Prime trailer is kinda nice, but it just doesn't strike me as a must. If it transformed into Powermaster armour I'd definetly get it, but as is I don't really want another trailer to just take up space...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.

My local Tesco have completely removed their Transformers Animated section.

I was surprised, and honestly I'm a little worried.

I love Supercon Prime, £1.99 in Woolies. Which I thought at the time was a bargain, it's cost considerably more since. Damn slippery slope.

I picked one up in the Harrogate one yesterday (for £13.50 actually). The one in York has a measly selection of toys compared to what I saw yesterday. For example, I wouldn't have known that Animated leaders are also half price at sainsburys if I had only been to my local one.

Not quite. It's the deluxe version of Armada Prime, that boasts better articulation, looks and is a targetmaster. Everyone should own one!

Gratz on getting him for £2 to Mr O, that's quite an acheivement!

hmmm, I may need to ask a favour of you tomorrow then matey. I don't see my quest turning up much treasure tomorrow...


As to the shelves getting cleared, I reckon the shops are clearing em out in preparation for new stock.


Either that, or this first quarter will be a quiet time for us collectors....(not that I'd frown upon that right now :P )
