He is one of the figures from Sneak Attack that's shown on the checklist, but unfortunately I havn't picked up an extra of him in the 24 random figs that I've gotten this week and I won't be picking up any more with just one of the available figures left that I need. If I had a spare he'd be yours for the asking.

Spotted Skywarp and Ramjet in Asda Bristol today and I HAVE to have Skywarp - he's just so cool looking! Alas, it's not going to happen until payday in a few weeks... are they repaints of the first movie mould or the new one?

Ramjet is a repaint of Movie 1 Starscream and Skywarp is a repaint of Movie 1 Thundercracker (and G1 coloured Starscream).

Thought that was the case, I guess I'll still get Skywarp though. Not a fan of the color scheme for Ramjet so that ones a pass.

I popped into Sainsburys on my way to the cinema tonight for a bag of sweets and a bottle of pop; whilst I was in there I took a wander over to the toys and was gobsmacked to find a Ransack.

Now I have him, Bumblebee, Leader Prime and Sideswipe I think I'm about done with ROTF until Leader Starscream......anybody know where I can get a cheap Hybrid Convoy?

Thu Jun 11, 2009 6:30 am

lol sainsburys makes me laugh....we have a huge sainsburys in telford an it has a fair few tfs in...mostly movie deluxes/scouts with the odd marvel an universe. The animated it does have are still the same ones they had when animated first came out.....BLACKARACHNIA. Now when im down the gf's in oswestry where sainsburys is pretty much the only shop they have an its tiny...they have loads in....except no movies. Its the only place ive seen sentinal prime being sold!

got mariokart for the wii today £20 bargin

I also got the roadbuster nanokit, looks schweet, i'm all up for upgrading G1

Thu Jun 11, 2009 3:46 pm

Hey guys, mind if I ask you something? I'm going into town on saturday and going to get another ROTF figure, I've got to choose between: Soundwave, Bumblebee, Skids (If he's out anywhere yet), Sideways, Rampage or Breakaway and any other ROTF deluxes out right now...so here's the question?

Which one do you think I should choose?

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jun 11, 2009 4:11 pm

I would say Sideways - he's the only one I have right now and he's awesome - the 'mech alive' on his arms is a nice little touch, and the way the chest works is cool [I won't give it away incase you haven't seen/read about it]. The only downside is his poseability is a bit lacking due to his spindley little insect legs. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on Rampage yet, but I think he'll be my next buy. It's all about the Decepticons for me!

News Credits: 8 · Thu Jun 11, 2009 4:26 pm

i personnaly wanna get sideswipe, he looks pretty awesome

Thu Jun 11, 2009 5:41 pm

If you don't have any of the deluxe Bumblebee mould already then it's a no brainer. It's an ingenious transformation, looks amazing as a robot or car and still has a real quality feel to it.

On the other hand, take a look at Cannon Bumblebee from wave 3, if you prefer that to the preview one then it's best to wait and get Sideswipe. His plastic is light and he feels a bit cheap, but again just an awesome looking toy.

Cool I got that a couple of weeks ago too for £22.00 with wheel. If you need any steering wheels or similar http://www.cex.co.uk has a pile of secondhand 'value' wii accessories like wheels & gun attachments for £1.00 each, they also occasionally have gamecube pads in for 75p as well. Any Wii players thinking about getting 'the conduit'? it looks like it'll be the closest thing to a decent online multiplayer shooter on the wii.

Got out shopping on Wednesday, ASDA was useless so finally found the Tesco Extra in Morley. Picked up Legends Prime, Jetfire, Bumblebee & Springer. Springer's my fave of the lot but I'm wishing I'd picked up FAB Prime as the new mold is great and I really should've picked up Ani Jazz for a fiver but didn't as payday's next week. Spent wayyy too long fondling those blind packed Robot Heroes for shockwave, skywarp or cliffjumper shaped ones but gave up in the end.

Well I've finally managed to get my attic sorted out (serious floorboard lifting DIY and the like been going on for 2 years) and last night I managed to get my shelves up and a bit of space cleared ready to display the TF's and other figures! I've just got a pile of Games Workshop stuff and simliar to ebay off and I'll probably sell of a few odds & sods TFs as well, mostly stuff I've picked up in bulk lots like flywheels and some micromasters.

Best news however is that my KO Cliffy upgrade arrived yesterday so I'll be very carefully painting it (had to get it in Bugbite colours :-(

) and piecing it all together!

Fri Jun 12, 2009 12:39 pm

I bought 6 of the blind packed Robot Heroes today and ended up with:
Movie Prime
Movie Metallic Prime
Movie Cliffjumper
Movie Jazz
G1 Starscream
G1 Thundercracker

It looks like the movie figures are the majority in the mix.

If anyone gets any G1 repeats let me know and I'll have them off you, I've still loads to get as I want a set for home and a set for my desk at work.

Grimlock, Mirage and Shockwave any use to you? Fiver posted for the lot if you fancy them.

right i aint got much of a clue about the rotf figures but i thought id let you know Asda in telford had a big display of limited edition startscream and thundercrackers in a display case........they looked about voyager/ultra size. Not exactly detailed explination but they were £29.99.......box was a hard plastic case.....very nice it was...shame about the contents

Sat Jun 13, 2009 11:28 am

Hey guys! I went into town today and checked in the forbidden planet they have there and got myself Voyager Starscream!

They had all of the wave 1 deluxes, scouts and voyagers but only had leader Megatron but there was a Prime in the window

Anyway what did you guys get today?

I'am also buying these Blind Pack Robot Heroes, quite succesful bar one duplicate in getting the final few i needed to complete my RH Bots and Cons.

Do feel odd though feeling each Blind Pack to find the ones i want.

I still need Matrix Prime and thats me done.

I have picked up some Movie ones as well , BB x2 , Megs and Frenzy which I can offer in exchange if anyone is only after the movie RH's.

Picked up ROTF Skids and Wheelie at Denton Entertainer. I passed on the others in that wave.

I'm interested in Shockwave and Mirage, what would you accept for them?

im loving the blind bagged stuff! got two so far and managed to get G1 jazz and G1 megatron

Sun Jun 14, 2009 4:12 pm

I'm really torn about the blind packed Robot Heroes as I got all the Wave 1 & 2 G1 Robot heroes when they first came out, except for decepticon sneak attack, and I'm wouldn't got out and buy the movie ones except for prime and cliffjumper. However I love the whole surprise element of them - I guess I'll either not bother or I'll buy loads and sell most of them off.

So I be very interested if anyone gets spares of the following:
G1 Cliffjumer
G1 Skywarp (except Electron has first dibs on that)
Movie Cliffjumper
G1 Shockwave (I want him for my desk!)
Movie Prime

In other news I'm chuffed as I've just won Cybertron Voyager Starscream for £7.35 delivered.

Awesome, SC! I've always wanted a Cybertron Starscream...I have this thing with Transformers that have swords, I don't know why...I just prefer swords on a transformer more than guns XD and Cybertron Starscream has always looked like a good figure to me anyway ^^
