Ha ha - no you haven't scared me away. I know what it like collecting in this bloody country - you gotta ask or you dont get! I'm just happy we're seemingly getting the jump on things for once over here...

If I'm in the area I will check, and if I pick any up I'll post it here. Just don't hold your breath, as I don't have any plans to travel there in the next few days.

I'd recommend checking Tesco's as well. Without them, I wouldn't have any of the recent universe stuff, so I'm willing to bet they're going to have a few interesting bits.

No reason they told me, they just said computer says no :-?

Aye! We do seem to be getting things more or less on time at the moment (movie wise anyhows :P ), let's hope they keep it up!

Not a problem dude, many thanks for your efforts!

Ah Tescoes, I had a sort of (silly) hope they'd have Inferno in today.


They didn't :( bah




They do however have hundreds of the one thing I bought online early. Overload XD



Glad to have a new ODBer amongst us! ;)^

Hey! I ride the bus! *shakes fist*

I'm plannin on pickin up new top half BB, leader Prime, Sideswipe and Swerve. And maybe a few others if they catch my eye enough ;)

I ordered Inferno from Play when he was in stock, and they cancelled my order....




Swoop's quite a nice TFA figure, and pretty true to G1.

I'll be getting Dead End, Dead End, and Dead End. Then I will try to return ROTF Ramjet to some store.

I can't believe I'm getting three Dead Ends in one line, and who knows there might even be more.

I sort of like the Swoop, he was only four quid something in Tesco. It's just that he's all spindly and that daft weapon. Shoulders tend to droop too. He fits in with no other figure I have!

He's the weakest of the three dino figures. You will have to get the other two for him to stand next to.

I hated the Animated look 'til the figures started working their way in to my world. In hand the few I've got are really quite cool. I can't afford this...
Lucky for me I don't think Grimlock looks worth a tenner.

Since I don't keep the packaging of my Dead Ends, whichever one makes it in to my hands will not matter, since the toys are identical.

Grimlock is badass!
His articulation might be limited but damn does he make up for it with his sheer awesomeness of design.

I'm only missing Swoop to have all TFA Dinobots.

And just a few other toys to have one of every character.
