You have your Thundercrackers but I don't have my second Skywarp yet even though he was released and paid for first...

What's going on here? Image

Well, I popped into Argos in Hull today. I have the following remarks.



Bought a nice new Phillips shaver for £40. Bangin.

Bought Universe Prowl. Nice paints apps and, wait for it, NON-STICKY! =D

They didn't have universe Sunstreaker today =( I shall go back and check again on saturday.

My flu has cleared up a fair bit since my shower this morning. Good news!



Overall, my day thus far has been just awesome. Shame they didn't have Sunstreaker, but I'll keep going back and checking. Tesco didn't have any deluxes in today (fecking scalpers), but animated voyagers are now set at a £10 price point. Whey!


Off to make news!

I'm still undecided about prowl, and octane too!

It's free insertions on ebay this weekend, so I'll be looking to offload the leftovers from my last Animated shipment. Thought I'd give you guys another shot at them first. I've still got one each of Grimlock, Swoop, Jazz, Sentinel Prime and Elite Guard 'Bee available. Unfortunately I can't match the current Argos or Tesco pricing but for the most part these guys havn't shown up at UK retail yet so might not turn up in time to grab a discount on them anyway. £20 and £10 respectively (and I realise nobody will want Grimmy at that price right now) with free postage if anybody's interested.

Hmm, tempting, but I really need to hang on to my cash in case Argos have got Blades in.

In other news, Argos did have Universe Galvatron. Despite all the slating of him, I like him. Sure, he's not Sunstreaker good, but he's as good as the Seeker mold.

TFA Grimlock needs to look good in robot mode if he's going to make up for having a sodding great hole in his T-rex mode chest. I sometimes think we'll never see a good Grimlock again.

Seen it. Not feeling it. It seems... I dunno. I'll wait for better images. If MP Starscream taught us anything, it should be "Never trust early prototype images." I'm sure any day now, some new designer is going to want to make MP Grimlock's alt mode more realistic and bugger up the robot mode.

Maybe there'll be some confusion and we end up with a Grimlock that transforms into Marc Bolan.

I believe the gentleman who worked on redesigning MP Starscream was not made very popular for his efforts and will not be invited back to do the same for Grimlock. The fans in Japan were apparently not happy with how it went from total anime accuracy to alt-mode kibble fest accuracy, so this can only be good news for Grimlock.

Me Grimlock, say you follow cesium salami!
