I've yet to see the Ani exclusives at a Tesco near me. If they're marked as discontinued are they still at full price or have they been marked down? I'd like a Stealth Lockdown and for cheaps I'd even consider picking up Rescue Ratchet.

Cheap Alts are sounding more and more appealing. All mine are BTs to date but I havn't bought any in ages. Might look for Swindle just to increase the Decepticon ranks.

Bought a half price Roll Out Command Prime. Even at 25 quid this toy is full of fail as a collectable figure. It'd make a great present for the kiddies zmas morning but the total lack of posability in the upper half of the bot mode due to the gimmicks just kill it for me. I had said that I wasn't going to get this but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Really didn't want to find myself looking at them going for 100+ a couple of years down the line thinking what if. It would look pretty cool in Nemesis colours though...

They're still 20 quid around here, and there's only Rescue Ratchet left in that gaudy yellow.

Bugger. Kage over at AA has reported them at 10 each in Southampton, might see if he'll grab me a set if there's any left.

Also damn, that's some serious pieces to get damaged. **** man.

Throw her cat out the window.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Those are some seriously pricey pieces =(

Maybe me mentioning in Fans Project's Rodimus Prime armour will cheer you up some?

That thing is epic win

Tell me about it I've been playing with my rod all day *que oddesy*
it seems quite simple what will go where, I just hope they include not only a space for it but the mini-matrix itself also they HAVE to make a target master firebolt to go with him

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:10 pm

I swear I read somewhere that Firebolt was planned.
Dunno about the matrix though.

But even if they don't include one, they should definetly design a place for one and sell it as a pack with the matrix they're designing.

Looks like he'll have his gun station too.

I can't believe what a lucky bunch of SOBs yanks are. $10 for 25th anniversary Prime!

I gotta get me a piece of that action.

I don't know if they have him yet though their site isn't always up to date with new stock - if not now they should get him in the next week or so.

I guess if you order 2 things at the same time it should qualify.

Any one interested in obtaining BotCon Ratchet below ebay pricing?
He's lose, complete and in perfect condition. I'm looking at getting around €100 for him.

Edit:
It's not BotCon Ratchet but BotCon Ironhide, how the Feck did I manage to mix up their names? #-o

Sold to the man with the lovely white beard if that's alright. Work out postage to the UK and let me know what I owe you.

edit - Offer to buy retracted due to nomencular confusification. Ironhide is up for grabs peeps.

If all that's missing is the crappy little grey pistol from Hightower, you're on. Pretty sure I can find something to replace that. I'll get the cash over to you in the next couple of days.

Well, I don't know what's up with my Tesco.

The Prime & Megatron DVD pack has now reappeared on shelf with a new ticket that doesn't have the discontinued tag on it. The universe deluxe ticket has disappeared and been replaced with the Animated Deluxe Exclusive £19.97 ticket also without the discontinued tag, the funniest thing is that the section is still stocked with Universe deluxes. Very expensive deluxes eh?

They seriously need to get their **** straight, because that really annoyed me. And almost makes me not want to report things anymore, just in case I'm reporting their mistakes. =/

Marvel Crossovers Wolverine is very good. Activators Lockdown... less so.

Curse this urge to go completionist on TFA.

Yeah, he's the worst that I've picked up so far. (Not got Ratchet/Prime yet)
Don't get me wrong, he's not a bad figure as such. Just not a great representation of Lockdown.
Far too short and wide! And he's got a huge chest.

Yeah, Lockdown isn't as bad as I'd been fearing. Just not great. Still, I've got the Deluxe version for a cartoon accurate toy. Keep an eye out for Prime, he's pretty good. The truck mode isn't fantastic (but better than Lockdown's alt mode), but the robot mode is spot on.
