kapow-toys?

ebay?

xybertoys?

i want cyclonus, and will get the henkei one to, cause im greedy

oj dunno yet, i want starscream i thinks

Kapow is rubbish, its cheaper to get henkei streak from xybertoys that to get Uni fron them, plus XTS has free postage

The only place that really comes to mind for those two is play.com mate. They usually have what we need. No clue about exclusives and special ed sets though... =/

10 points for using the word betwix

No I didn't think so, in the only pic I've seen of him he seemed a brighter shade of red but I think it was photoshoped so who can tell

and I checked play the other day they didn't really have anything

also the new site sponser is terrible, its cheaper to import toys from BBTS,
Infact it seems like unless I see things in stores then I'll be best of buying from them form them even-more-infact the shop tyhat has the most best stuff is more expensive that them and I say that is ****

I think Im gonna finaly order Ironhide and Hound from Xybertoys

I've been deliberately not using Epic Heroes for years now. Even when stuff is on mass release in this country, they don't drop their prices. I expect to pay a premium when something isn't out here yet, but £23.74 for Universe Galvatron? WTF?

WTF indeed

Infact since we have all our posts back and have therefore broken the 1000 page milestone and I am feeling especialy disgruntled I want to moan some more about how its such bull poopy bullshit that we don't get stuff like the two packs and combiners and if we do we have to pay bullshitty over the top prices and what about are all the shops that are suposed to be selling even regular transformers? for the last year all woolworths has had is poopy lehends megatron and now its shut down, argos is **** bullshit, you dont need me to tell you about that and don't even get me started on forbidden **** planet, bloody rip off merchants I saw something in there the other day that had a £20 mark up for christs sake! and they dont really have any good stuff anymore. Its bad enough that I cant get the things I want localy but I can't even get them online It's **** Bullshit Im telling you Utter Bullshit

"Yeah, what have TF's done for us?"

"Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly. (Tesco/Argos/John Lewis)"

"OK. Other than the fact that Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly, What have TF's done for us?"

"Sainsbury's have the Universe Ultras at half price and all TF's were half price before Christmas."


"Alright. Other than, Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly, Sainsbury's have the Universe Ultras at half price and all TF's were half price before Christmas. What have TF's done for us?"

"We got most of the Movie Deluxe repaints at Asda"

"OK. Despite that Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly, Sainsbury's have the Universe Ultras at half price and all TF's were half price before Christmas and we got most of the Movie Deluxe repaints at Asda. What have TF's done for us?"


"Minicon pack @ a reasonable £17 at Woolies"


"I'll give you that. Ignoring the fact that Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly, Sainsbury's have the Universe Ultras at half price and all TF's were half price before Christmas, we got most of the Movie Deluxe repaints at Asda and the Minicon pack @ a reasonable £17 at Woolies. What have TF's done for us?"

"Stealth Lockdown/RRatchet with two free Legends @ under £10 at Tesco at the moment."

"Right. I suppose that's true. However, apart from Animated seems to be on offer somewhere almost constantly, Sainsbury's have the Universe Ultras at half price and all TF's were half price before Christmas, we got most of the Movie Deluxe repaints at Asda, the Minicon pack @ a reasonable £17 at Woolies, and Stealth Lockdown/R.Ratchet with two free Legends @ under £10 at Tesco at the moment. What have TF's done for us?"




But I do feel your pain.

I haven't seen any animated deals other that the one I got off Tekka but then again I haven't been looking spose I'll have to look into that and the half price uni ultras are definitely intregueing, I've been in a quandry over weather to get uni Onslought and Silverbolt of the slightly better henkei paint apps (which Im a sucka for) for an extra tenner each but if I can find a sainsburys that has them I guess that settles the matter, I can't justify paying over £20 for a slightly different shade of paint -however I'm centain I need henkei Powerglide

Still though my pointless ramblings point still reamains none of those store are anywhere near me and none of them stock any of the 'exclusive' figures

I covered some of the recent exclusives.

Tesco have Animated Voyagers @ half price at the moment.

Don't supose you know any promotional codes do you?

You don't want much do you?!!!



Sorry, can't help ya out with any codes.

Its OK I bought Onslought last night, I feel like I should owe you some money but I guess you'll have to settle for 50 Chronic points, don't spend them all at once!

You don't want much do you?!!!

well seing as your offering...
Im still looking for the best deals on a few Uni figs - I'll probibly go argos
and a bunch of animated, you mentions deals are on everywhere but which where has the best deals?

Yeah I checked play last night, the number of tf toys has seriously decreased.
Still, they've got universe galvy and TFA oilslick at a nice lil markdown. Will have to tell the sibling.


I needs to write down my new hunts-list...

henkei cheetor
universe hound
universe inferno
animated ultra magnus
animated blurr
animated jetfire & jetstorm
animated wreck garr


I think that's all the new big bots coming out these next few months? =?
Will have to look into universe overload and roadbuster as well, if I can find them reasonably cheap anyways.

Just like to thank Oddsey for that very nice link - Onslaught is on his way (slowly for the free P&P)

Andy

You won't be waiting too long mate, super saver delivery is faster than you'd think!


I think you'll love the figure too. I've been playing with him and animated leader Megs all day, and both are superb figures.


Always good to see another face in here =D

Hmmm.
Chronic points. How do they work?
Do I use 'em to pay for "services" from Chronic?!!

I think the Sainsbury's deal is about the only other one for Universe at the moment.(Ultra's at half price,- £13.50)
Might be able to find Silverbolt there. (& the Powerglide repaint, Stormcloud)
Play have Galvatron @ £8.99.

Sainsbury's also have the best standard price for Animated Activators @ £2.99. Nice little figures, especially for less than £3.
The only other current Animated offer worth mentioning is Tesco's half price Voyagers. Which may include the Stealth Lockdown/R.Ratchet with two free legends. I say may 'cus when I got my S. Lockdown, he rang up as full price and I had to point at that they were on the same shelf as the Voyagers. They may ring up half price now though, as that was near the beginning of the offer and it might have been an oversight.

Other than that, it's always worth checking Play.com for Deluxe Animated figs. Especially now that they send 'em out boxed and they arrive in one piece!!
Play have:
Jazz/Soundwave @ £8.99
Oilslick @ £5.99

No problem!
I take payment in kind.




And, welcome to the madhouse.
Stick around, it can be quite entertaining in here!

damn that sucks i paid £10 for him, like on sat, gutted

new guys stick around, its kool round here, icey cool

btw he's an ok figure, just lost his missle behind the sofa i believe, cba looking for it

Save yourself now!
Or shave yourself, now!
Oh boy, I found the hidden stash of girly Christmas child booze and I'm nearly out of whiskey, I feel sick and am full of sugary ****. I've started stumbling around the flat with Desert Blackout and trying to go "Whop whop whop etc." without waking the woman up. I still have to cook tuna steaks without screwing it all up too. IGNORE ME!!! Or HELP ME!

Legends Ironhide rules! He holds undersized KO Constructicon weapons rather stylishly like.

Sledge, I think I've got one of Snapdragon's guns, PM if you want it. No use to me, no charge. It comes with some old blu-tac but I could take that off if you've got some already .

Whey Mr O!

Alcopops kept me going for a while, but then I switched to hard liqour and have been drinking it since. Alcopops are too unhealthy for my liking


Tuna is fantastic. Don't burn the place down! =O

So far so good matey! I keep weird hours and right now is lunch time. I'm going with one at a time on the tuna steaks so I don't ruin all four(!) at once. Chocolate grappa with Teacher's tastes far too tame but has raised my temperature to a worrying number of degrees.
There is a Homer Sapien grinding it's way around the floor and sweat on my brow. I've also realized that I've been here ages now and still haven't opened my Classics Ramjet from last year. I may have a mission. If I can find it. And no-one else can help...

P.S. Tuna good, sauce all over my new Stewie Griffin slipper.

Ahh, what a wonderful morning, the birds are singing the sky is a dark purpley colour and I have finished taking some pictures of a little project I've been working on today, They may intrest Tekka inparticular to see what I have done to some of your stuff

Anyway without futher ado may I present to you Fully Loaded Megatron!
http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn13 ... C_0020.jpg
And Fire!
http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn13 ... C_0011.jpg
And as we all know there is only one way to celebrate getting a new gun upgrade; A rocking guitar solo!
http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn13 ... C_0023.jpg

I appologise for being too lazy to resize the pics but come on, its half 6 in the morning

Oh and a Thank you again to Oddsey, while Im not really interested in any of those figures other than maybe Silverbolt, I do very much appreciate the info, make sure you keep me up-to-date especialy when Swindle comes out

Think I might just stick around and enjoy the madness

Is anyone else up north and finding that our Sainsburys are rubbish? I have been to 4 different ones, 3 did toys and only 1 of them bothers to stock more than about 1/2 a shelf. Managed to snag a 13.50 powerglide tho - so not all bad.

Can see the start of 2009 being painful to the wallet - lots of Universe stuff to be had and lots of it is sooooooo tempting... gonna need a second job at this rate

Andy

Glad to hear it! =D

I'm in Hull for large parts of the year now, but there isn't actually a sainsburys up there that does toys.
However, most of the sainsburys down here are just as crap. I had to go all the way to Walsall to find the ultras. But my god was it worth it!


I know what you mean there too. I've been spending a fair whack these last few weeks on transformers, and I'll probably do so again in February when the new universe and animated figures are on the shelves!

I'm gonna have to get a job in the summer to pay off my expenditures I think

i got my galvy, he's alrite, he's got some QC problems, but he's alrite so DM gets to live
