What's missing is the part "as you probably guessed already" my head has been a bit messed up again

Wave 2 Combiner Wars arrived today from Transbridge. :KREMZEEK:

Air Raid really completes Superion nicely, while the Stunticons as a group are awesome. However Menasor is a little disappointing.

My Stunticons arrived today from Kapow...well sort of :S

I ordered Motormaster, Breakdown, Dead End and Off Road together, but instead of Off road in my delivery I got Air Raid.

I did order an Air Raid but I'm almost 100% sure I ordered him after I got the dispatch email for my Stunticons and got a separate dispatch email for Air Raid himself (Only ordered Air Raid through general stock, Stunticons were pre-ordered) Which leads me to believe that I'll be getting a second Air Raid coming (Probably tomorrow) I emailed Kapow and have asked if they are aware of the mistake, and if they realised early on if there is a chance that instead of mailing me Air Raid they replaced it with the missing Off Road so am waiting for a reply from them. It'd be a slim chance but I hope that's the case :/

Just curious, if I do end up with a second Air Raid, what do you think i'll have to do to resolve the situation?

Typically Off Road was the Stunticon I was most excited for out of the deluxe's! Only opened Motormaster for now, first time playing with the mold and i'm loving him! At least I can complete my Superion now and menasor will have to remain one man down until the situation gets resolved

Andy and co at Kapow will move heaven and earth to put things right is what will happen. Be nice to them.

Should imagine they will ask you to return an Air Raid and then send out Off Road.

by **Lockdown91** » Fri Mar 06, 2015 10:05 am

Yeah I've ordered from Kapow many many times now and have never once had a problem, always been happy with the service I received. I also understand that the combiner wars are extremely popular and so they'd have been busy getting in all the pre-orders and getting ready for general stock so I understand how the easily the mistake would of happened.

I am wondering, I ordered Armada Megatron which should be in stock next week going by their Facebook page, do you reckon they would put Off Road in with that saving on postage for them as well as waiting around for Deliveries on my part. Or do you reckon they'd rather receive the returned Air Raid first? I know you guys don't work for Kapow and so cannot say for sure what will happen but was just curious to see if I should ask them to do that. I know Andy runs a tight small busy business and so don't want to go about creating more work for them if I can help it.

I work for a small business and I would think that they would ask for the return first, just makes sense. They would probably hold on to Megatron and Off Road until you returned Air Raid if you asked.

The Stunticons on Kapow are now taunting me since I can afford to get them until the end of the month. Maybe I'll try this thing called patience and wait for a retail release.

In other news I found RID Legends Grimlock and Sideswipe in the Entertainer if anyones Interested.

I got my Dad to do the mod on RID Warrior Prime since he's a modeller so he's good with that sort of thing and it has vastly improved the figure. Now if only he had some outward movement in the shoulders.

Just got back from my nearest Smythes Toy Store Milton Keynes. Found Generations Voyager Whirl and Rinox. From Australia of all places. I also managed to find a RID deluxe Drift. Happy Hunting.

2x Whirl
1x Rinox
1x Drift.

Only left 1 whirl I'm afraid. Rinox and Whirl were £22.99. Drift £14.99.

B&m stores now have Whirl/Roadbuster/blitzwing/Rhinox/Springer for sale at £12.99, only one um really interested in is Rhinox however.

I've been after Rhinox for a while. Typical there isn't a B&M close by. I'll try online.

Really tempted to get them. But I already have them. In fact I have 2 Roadbusters already. I have no need for them but I just cant seem to let a bargain pass me by! lol

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 3:46 am

Lol I wish they gotten the deluxes as well mind. Is Roadbuster any good?

Spare me this mockery of justice!

Ok, first things first.
Get money.
Go to B&M/TrU.
Buy Roadbuster and/or Rhinox.

As easy as it is (sometimes) to sit at home and order online, I really should get out more often!

by **Lockdown91** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 7:52 am

Edit: Scrap my complaining, sent another Email to Kapow and got a quick response within half an hour. Must have just caught them at the right time, got the address! I guess they mustn't check emails as regularly on weekends, I guess some people need days off huh

I was thinking of going and checking my local B&M today but I'm unsure whether to bother, a Roadbuster for £12.99 would be a steal, almost ordered one online not long ago which would have ran me up to almost £30 but I decided against it, glad I did now. The problem with my local B&M is they're usually lousy with getting new stock in as quickly as other stores do :/

UK Seibertronians!

With the news that B&M Home Stores are stocking some of the Generations Voyager figures, I will check my B&M tonight on my way home from work.

If they fail to delight me, would one of you wonderful bots out there in Transformerland be able to snag me a Roadbuster & Rhinox and I will settle up with you via PM?

by **Renketsu** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 8:34 am

Just checked the massive Altrincham B&M (what used to be TRU) and I couldn't find a single one

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 9:46 am

Its not going to be easy, people have already cleared out the biggest b&m in my area

News Credits: 14 · by **robotmel** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:34 am

Too late to the table once more. Robotmel shall go hungry tonight...

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 12:49 pm

Robotmel if I had the pennies I would keep a look out for you, the biggest one may be empty but I still have two more b&ms near me

Many thanks ZeroWolf, I now have Roadbuster from my local b&m! Unfortunately they only had Sky byte who I wasn't interested in so I will have to keep going back till I can grab myself a Springer and Whirl. :grin:

Skybyte is out there as well?!?! The only Voyager I do not own!!!!

Also if anyone wants a Roadbuster - complete - with unused stickers but no instructions. I would be willing to part with one... RobotMel?
