Excellent - that sorts out where I'm getting swindle from then.

Just picked up the animated legends Prime, prowl & Bumblebee in Asda. I thought Prowl looked the best from pictures, bumblebee next then prime but actually Prime has been a very pleasant surprise and just looks & feels right. Bumblebee's next best and he's about in scale too!

Have anyone else seen Character's galatic/robot heroes rip offs?
Dr Who time squad!
I picked up Dalek, cyberman, dr. & sontaran again at asda, they are great.

I'm kinda pee'd off with myself at the moment for a stupid little mistake. I picked up all the season 3 & 4 episodes of Battlestar Galactica knowning I wasn't going to get time to watch them unitl much later. I got all of season 3 on two DVD discs and cleared my hard drive ready to pick up season 4. Forgot to backup those Season 3 DVDs and now I've got time to watch them I can't sodding well find them! Ah well, they'll be in the attic somewhere, at least it means I have an great excuse to go through all my boxes of stuff (boxed up TF's etc) checking for them.

I'll probably throw some stuff up on ebay as I've got the sell some music equipment as well and I'm finally gonna cave in and get Henkei Megs so i'll need display space there too.

Argos really need to update their stock. Same old stuff. Anyone know anywhere I can order Universe Blades from without spending silly money?

In a way I'm quite pleased he does.
Saves me spending £100 on him.

He looks OK at a push, and I may pick him up when he gets reduced.(Which I'm sure will happen, as he shelf warms like hell)

£50 or below and I'll consider him.

Come on, a gestalt without individual robot modes? What are we, Power Rangers fans? Gonna have to drop well below £50 before I'll be interested in him.

Oh, I agree it's a cop out.
But at the right price, I would still like a Devastator for display.

I'm glad there was so much sub-par toy on display, I'm only interested in that Leader Prime.

Am I the only one here who likes Devy?, I admit I don't want to pay £100 for him but I will get him on clearence. I did like Leader Prime and animated Arcee the most though.

Warrington Tesco had:
TFU Ultras Stormcloud and Silverbolt (1 less Silverbolt as he's now sat at home with me! :grin:

)
TFU Voyagers Overload and Leo Prime
TFU selection of deluxes

Sorry, no idea about TFA as the toys don't do anything for me so I dont look.

Just gotta find TFU Voyager Inferno now - Argos are not helping! :sad:

by **ThunderThruster** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 5:24 pm

I've got to agree, TFA Arcee is a must have!

Hmm, I guess in the region of £50 - especially as the figure is now relatively common. Do you know anywhere I can get one?

News Credits: 8 · by **Electron** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 8:27 am

i've looked at:

the uk based shops

kapow
neonmartian
toyzandgamez (they have the black ehobby megs for £64.99 preorder)
epicheroes
ebay

no luck

only xybertoys had him in for £42.90, there a singapore based site, and offer free shipping, most people on this site would vouch for them, but toher than that can't find ne other place that have him

Hi Electron,

Thanks for your help - I had tried a few of the sites you've mentioned so it looks like I'll have to import the figure. I'm just a little concerned that the package will be stopped due to the alt mode.

Thanks again,

I've just asked a guy I know over at TFW2005, who acts as supplier/forwarder of some of their stock, about this.
Will let you know what the crack is as soon as he gets back to me.
