Deluxes are just under £10. Legends a bit under £3.

TFU Sideswipe and Bluestreak are in the hizzle! Bluestreak's hip joints seem to be stuck, and I rememeber other people having this problem, so I've gotta look up how to remedy it without breaking him. Sideswipe is love. Lambo love, people.

I trust everyone's had a nice Christmas, full with TF goodness. I got Sideswipe, Henkei Ironhide TF-wise and now I'm looking out for the Hound/Cyclonus wave.

Like I said tfw, I really recommend just moving it around a bit before you do anything else, see if that doesn't loosen up the joint some.

Sideswipe's head mold is pure win. Looks great!


Tekka, you're slacking!

It would be foolish to bid on the very first one, they always go for absurd amounts.

Plus, I only buy boxed. I have a source in Japan that gets boxed figures early from China, so I'm sorted.

Animated Skywarp was £20. So it's round about the same as getting them off the shelf in the UK.

The only problem now is with the recent exchange rate crash... So it's probably gonna be closer to £30 now. =/

i got £150 from my dad for tf goodness so i went up to tru today, still pretty naff in there but picked up the titanium autobot ark (to sit on the tip of my primus in planet mode), acid storm (cant get enough of that mold) and movie jetstorm, been meaning to get him for ages and at £19 i couldnt resist. The best bargain came in tesco's, Leader TFA Bulkhead with headmaster for £19.99!!!!! had TFA voyagers in there for £9.99 too.

Sainsbury's. Cock, I haven't got one nearby. Ooh, wait, yes I have. Not near nearby, but within easy bus distance. Hmm...

Bluestreak's legs are now working alright. Man, those were some stiff ball joints. Gotta love the figure, though.

I feel like death warmed up. Damn Disco making me aggresive oh and seriously I won't be drinking 2 litres of SanGria through a straw again! :shock:
Damn I hope that memory of acting like a di** towards my hot class mate for which I have a crush isn't real. #-o

neone here know were i can find instructions for the armada starsaber?

got a handful of minicons today

and yesterday i won a massive lot of about 25 normal transformers and 40 ood minicons in a massive lot, the most i spent on a group of tf's but its got a couple of megs, a couple of primes , energon omega, tidal wave and unicron, so even though it was alot it saved me money in the long run, cause 25th ani unicron would be about £40 in himself, so i mite give u guys first dibs if i feel like i need to sell sum stuff

Huh, I can't find instructions for the Air Defense Team. If you Google for images of them, you should be able to figure it all out, but that's annoyed me now.

Well, let us know what you get. There's some Energon stuff I'm still looking for. Sharkticon, Snowcat... think that's about it. Demolisher maybe.

No worries. I'm not desperate to pick one up, just something I wouldn't mind if I saw one for a reasonable price.

If you're looking for instructions the best places are:

http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/2002/ ... nteam.html

or

http://www.hasbro.com/customer-service/ ... order_by=T

The Hasbro link used to all be in alphabetical order but in their infinite wisdom they decided to list 'em randomly!?!
