Old fashioned family racism. I approve.

Folks, RTS wave one has been sighted multiple times in Smyths stores across the UK. They're still filtering through, but it's time to start the hunt!

I'll be checking the Walsall branch today for RTS goodness.

Anyone seen MP Grimlock in TRU still? Pottermus, have you visited Shrewsbury TRU recently? I really need to find one soon for my christmas present (all I really wanted tbh), so I'm checking Oldbury, Shrewsbury and Merry Hill.

I've been told that Derby TRU had 5. Which is ****, cos I drove past there the other day on my way home

But of course! Racism should be easy-going and funny for all. Me and my black mate James have great banter over it.

You mean that email about the shipment being stuck in Germany? Got it twice yesterday, really saddening news. Makes me wanna make sure I get Jazz, Tracks and MP Grimmy all the more. Will be ringing a few branches in a little while to see if they have any on the shop floor.

The new RTS line are ringing up at the HFTD price point apparently, so savings for all! (if you can actually find them...)

I got an email from Andy at Kapow and he said Thunderwing was delayed because off the snow same with Sidearm. I hope I can find a Windcharger in Forbiddon Planet

Good news and bad news for me.

Good news, my mom just called to say she picked up the last RTS Tracks and Jazz from Telford Smyths on her way home from work. Yays!

Bad news, I've rang Oldbury, Merry Hill, Shrewsbury and Solihull branches of TRU and none of them have a single MP Grimlock to their name. Oldbury and Merry Hill said to ring back tomorrow and/or Wednesday eve as they will be getting deliveries in on those days, but I'm not looking hopeful.

If anyone can help a poor sod out, it'd be greatly appreciated. Cost+shipping+something extra, perhaps extra cash or maybe a toy or two from my box of tf goodies. Beast Wars to Cybertron figures.

If you can help, PM me!

I got an e-mail from Kapow saying my Jazz, Tracks and Grapple have been shipped aswell.

I also got an e-mail from Toysandgames saying they've shipped my protector armour.

Hopefully they arrive in time for christmas.

Why the heck would a terrorist hack a toy site for crying out loud.

Terrorist 1 - "Maqmud how are we going to terrorize the world today".

Terrorist 2 - "We shall hack a toy site so Geeks won't get their toys in time for Christmas".

Terrorist 1 - Brilliant!.

Yep it's the worst plot yet. DAMN TERRORISTS TAKING AWAY MY TRANSFORMERS!!

Btw electron, I do have darkmount and he's awesome. In fact I've got all the generations we'll be getting. (wave 1 and 2)

no MP Grimlock in my local TRU (I don't think they got any more since the initial delivery) and if fact hardly any TFs. I'm going to have to spend my £10 voucher on something random.

Oh well, they did have Animated Waspinator...is that any good?

I got an email from Kapow too. Telling me the Protector is stuck in Cologne.

Then I got another, and another. I wouldn't mind all that much except, since I've already paid for it, I'm a bit short if I want to buy anything else from them. Oh well, they've sold out of most of the things I want anyway.

Now...News of Jazz turning up in actual shops? I'd love one, since I was skint when I could have pre-ordered it. Will keep my eyes open, but if they're showing up for £5.99 (or is that Generations?) I wouldn't mind if someone snagged on for me. PM if you can.

Animated waspinator is a bit basic but great!
It's waspinator why not buy him?!

Total?!?!

(and, is that Reveal The Shield Jazz?)

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 6:33 am

That'd be £7.50 per deluxe, the RTS figures are being sold under the HFTD deluxe price.

Mr Postie just dropped off WST Shockwave, hurrah! Got all my family presents now, just need to get hold of an MP Grimlock before the day and I'm ready for Christmas!

My hftd brimstone broke.

a squeak I heard from the left arm socket which I thought was the ball going round in the joint was actually the plastic shearing. The ball never moved, the socket was too tight. His arm came off.

I've got to find some money for a replacement now before I can't find any and shelves are totally overridden by oil pans and insecticons.

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 8:30 am

£7.50 is still damn good for that new Jazz, I'd be appreciative if anyone could pick one up for me.

Now, serious business...Does anyone know if Kapow are having postage issues. I suspect this may be the case from the 6 emails they've sent, but I just want to be sure

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 8:53 am

Absolutely. Getting such fantastic figures for £5 less than tf deluxes were selling for all year is an amazing deal. I've used the £17 I had spare from cancelling the T&G order to half pay for my lovely new Universe Hardhead! Hurrah for christmas!

Re: Postage issues

Not sure mate, better wait for another email to be sure

News Credits: 4 · by **Neurie** » Mon Dec 20, 2010 9:40 am

Kapow(and other U K toy stickers) have an issue as the stock they have ordered are stuck in transit to Europe(no air planes= no deliveries).

Also there's been problems with delays on post going via snail mail through Europe adding to their woes.

Don't expect any deliveries this side of Christmas.

I'm only last two night shifts of work tonight so will keep an eye out for any jazz/tracks/new bits and will buy them all if I can and post here to helps peeps out. Can always return them if not needed.

They have gone really quick then.

Boughty friend in the US all the minion sweet packs the entertainer had and can't find anymore now

No new scouts just yet but will keep an eye out

That's exactly what happened to my Leadfoot. I took that back to Tesco and they swapped it for another one no problem, the replacement will never be transformed while I own it though. Can't you exchange it?
