I'm kind of hoping that we get just the Kreo minifigs blind bagged at some stage. There's been 4 assortments of Lego minifigs and Lego compatable Dr Who and HM Forces all out recently so this seems like a likely marketing plan for UK toy retailers.

I thought the plan from the UK retailers was generally plan-less lol. Cant understand them sometimes. Hope i get this job at Smyths ive applied for, might give em a kick up the ass lol

On a side note, do you guys just display your figs on shelves etc, or have any of you made Warhammer style backdrop/ map style things?

My pcc skyhammer arrived today. well worth a tenner. probably the mbest pcc I've got (til I get heavytread)

I got heavy tread from tru for £4.99 last thursday, i was so dissapointed with him. Ima thinking he'd have been a mint Brawl.

don't tend to go all out for displays at the mo.

got an email from Kapow about Tailpipe being sent this week!

but still haven't got the missing iGear Kup head kit from my last order. I wonder if they'll be in the same package?

£4.99 not $4.99. Unless your local TRU is really far away.

Yeah, i remember seeing the prototypes of that when i was collecting before i stopped, had a look for it since but havent been able to find it which is a shame.

Cool little thing indeed.

Hey guys, I have two cases of the Takara EZ Chronicles Legends on preorder (Series1&2). I will more than likely have one spare set of series 1 next month and two spare sets of series 2 in December.

If anybody's interested I can let them go for super cheap, with free shipping as always. I can't say for sure what will be available though as I don't know what the makeup of the cases will be. Just putting it out there.

Are those the ones with the G1 Legends guys? If so, I want a Megatron and Optimus Prime.

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:22 am

They are those ones indeed. I will start a list and put your name at the top!

Awesome, put me down for a set of Seekers too. That is if there are enough after you got your share.

I'll be wanting two Skywarps*, if he's in the second set, so I might not be able to guarantee an extra of him if he gets shortpacked. The same goes for Thundercracker too I guess, if there's only one of him since I'm only getting half a case of Series 1. But with any luck there'll be two. Prime, Megatron and Starscream shouldn't be a problem though.

*Since nothing's set in stone it could turn out to be Sunstorm or something equally lame. ;p
