What are the best online shops for Transformers in the UK?

I know someone mentioned Kapow on the previous page, are there any others? I want to grab a fair few of the Transformers Generations Wave 1 and don't really know where would be best to get them from.

Thanks :)

Oh one more thing, you folks got any specific recommendations of recent/easily obtainable sets (I don't really like the movie toys)

I got Powerglide and really liked him from TRU recently.

Welcome New guy I must warn you beware of Tekka, Munkimus Prime, CC, and Electron they are as mad as they come.

I recomend Kapow Toys.co.uk they are fast and cheap.

Hope you enjoy your time with us

Hi folks,

I'm a fair way through WFC-Decepticons on DS now and while it's not the full blown WFC game it's pretty good, I'm enjoying it much more than the 2 movie ds games even though the contrls are too similar for my liking however it's quite lacking in areas open enough to make transforming actually useful, from start to level 2 I only transformed 3 times and the first time was just to go see what megs' tank looked like.

Plently of nice little touches, especially between Megs & Starsceam and I love the littel quotes the characters say when to swap them over, "No-one summons Megatron!" being the favourite.

current advice: If you see it at £15.00 pick it up.

Nearly had an ebay disaster last night, went to increase my bid for Legends ROTF Ravage and slipped, it didn't give me a confirm bid option and I realized i'd upped to $300.00 instead of $3.00. Really glad when the other bidder caved in leaving me paying $3.25 (about a fiver inc P&P)!

Hi Rez! Welcome the the disgruntled Brits!

Yeah I collect DS games (got....this many...)

I want to get WFC DS and its only like £16.85 on ShopTo.net but I still can't even justify that at the moment (just become unemployed, am chilling for a few months, worked for Halifax, they're ****) but I'm gonna keep my eye on the price. Wouldn't be able to not-buy-it if it goes below £10.

No but....I saved a picture of him once and the files name was "Howard_brown" and I started going off on a huge thing thinking it was racist, because I was absolutely convinced at the time that his surname was Wright not Brown and....yeah.

That was an embarrassing day.

Blimey, that looks like my complete games collection! (PC, PS1&2, PSP, DS, GBA) Mind you I've still got over 40 games I've not finished yet.

Yeah I'd normally not buy any DS games (Final Fantasy mostly) over a tenner but WFC and the starscream repaint (adore that mold!) was just too tempting.

I once worked for Halifax - in Wakefield, always love working for companies named after a place and not actually working in that place it seems a very Yorkshire thing.

OH MY GOD. JUST GOT BACK FROM SEEING INCEPTION.

It is astounding. Go see it.


And that Drift looks freaking sweet, definitely want that. I assume they'll get that in at Argos? Should I have problems finding it or would it be safer to order now?
