Which one are you missing? I've got a bag of spares that I've been handing out as freebies.

If Hasbro UK is getting exclusives from BotCon/SDCC and stuff then maybe we'll gett more, like the TFP 'Bee and 'Cee 2 pack?

I think the Kreon was produced by Hasbro as a promotional figure, as opposed to a convention exclusive if you see the difference I'm making. The conventions were the best opportunity to give them out. Unlikely for the NYCC set I'm afraid :sad:

Hey again!

Yeah I get what you mean. And I dont think they would use an actual exclusive as a free give away in a random magazine. I reckon there would be some outrage somewhere

. Still its a bonus for us even getting them

. I wonder if they are being given out in a different random mag round Europe. And no I have 1, I do kinda want them all, lol. Looks like its working!!!
Lets get a parallel mini-event over here while Bot-Con is on, just for a day, for those not able to go all that far

. Like myself!

Oh my days!!!!! How the hell did I not know about this! Where have I been! That date is now going to be in HUGE writing on my wall somewhere, after I make space of course

. Am defintatly going if I am in the country. Seriously, how did I not know about this, havent seen it advertised anywhere. My life has just become slightly more enriched. You are just full of awesome information. I was pretty excited about looking forward to trying to get one organised, but alas. Probably better this way, I think if I did it it would be a bit rubbish, lol. I assume you have been? How is it? I mean Ive been to other ones like MCM (which is actaully next weekend!! =D) and the small, but fantastic R3PLAY gaming (which is the following weekend =D). Im excited already, hurry up next August

I missed this years due to my savings being wiped by some unexpected bills. At the risk of blowing my own trumpet have a look here for my review of Saturday from 2010.

Any feedback gratefully received.

Sun Oct 23, 2011 4:35 pm

Unexpected bills are the bane of many people now a days I think

. Shame you couldnt go this year. I checked out your review

, and really enjoyed it! You covered as much as you can, which I guess is only as much as you saw/experienced. I liked all the little things from the journey there, to when you left, and it was very informative. I will say though, more photos please

, only as I wasnt there though. The japanese collection looked amazing, very jealous. And to hear its been running since like 2004!!! I am disappoint at myself. If you go next year id defo recommend you write another

, though hopefully I will be there. Im gonna have to start saving by the sounds of it aswell. Its gonna be dangerous as I dont have an extremely tolerant wife (dont have one at all in fact) to help me stick to rules i and iv! Transformers is my weakness. Gonna end up with a massive hole in my bank account, along with the one thats already there now, whoops, lol.
You definately going next year? I know its a while away. Might need to pay your wife to glare at me every now and then if im spending to much

.

On another note, anyone going to MCM next weekend???

And on another note, end of Spooks forever

, sad times!!!!

Welcome New Guy!!! =D

btw quick thanks too P_S , snagged myself a cool lil kreon thanks to u, cheers for the heads up

Sun Oct 23, 2011 8:26 pm

Hi to you!!

I went and got another today, theyre so cute, I couldnt help myself

.

Dont really know whats been posted in the past about sightings and prices, but have been looking online and if anyone is interested, and it hasnt been said before, Toys R Us have 'Buy 2 get 3rd free' on ALL DOTM figures on their site. Some though are more expensive than other places:

Transformers 3 Mech Tech Sentinel Prime: Toys R Us - £35 (reduced from £45)
: Tesco Online - only £22! (They also have the Mech Tech Shockwave for £22 aswell =D).

But, the Ultimate Optimus Prime is £70. So if 3 people wanted it, 1 person could order 3 (making £140 in total with free postage), and then split the cost 3 ways making each one about £46.50. Just post the other 2 on to the other people. So probably be about £50, saving £20. Thats obviously if 3 people wanted it and could work out together. Was just a thought.

Think its bed time! Looking forward to your thoughts!! =D

I'm pretty sure you're comparing prices on different figures. The Sentinel at £22 at Tesco is the voyager, the £35 one at TRU is the leader version.

Mon Oct 24, 2011 9:01 am

Haha! Yeah, just checked that out! My bad =D. In future I will try not to post false information

, it was pretty late and I dont think I was concentrating very well. Just went on a ramble, and now thinking about it, it is alot of effort sharing the buy 2 get 3rd free. Anyway, at least people know about it if they didnt, though most on here seem pretty clued up. And now I finally know what TRU is, was trying to work it out since I joined, its so obvious now.

PS: Got the mini-cons this morning waaaaaaaaaagh! Cant thank you enough =D!!

Sigh.. Come ON november.
Or something with new stuff.

I'm having plastic withdrawal symptoms.
Had to buy a generations Blurr.

Hey, someone earlier mentioned a case of Generation toys, including Warpath. Is that still on the line?

EDIT: Someone = waaaaghlord

News Credits: 7 · Mon Oct 24, 2011 3:24 pm

It might be, depends on how much cash I've got available when Stepper comes in and the rest of my order is ready to ship. Grabbing the case is the easiest way to make sure I get hold of Black Shadow and a couple of Junkions and the rest of the figures in there should all get spoken for in sale or trade with a fast turnaround, but I just realised it's 2 Wheeljacks and only 1 Warpath, which seems a bit silly given that it's Wheeljack's 3 rd consecutive wave.

went in '10, hoping to go '12

but this did give me an idea we could (idunno) sort out some kinda ODB meet? (as i say, idunno)

Magical Trevor wrote:On another note, anyone going to MCM next weekend???

what, the london expo?
there's a small chance i might be going with some mates.

also, i managed to win an ebay auction with about 30 seconds to go at about 11o'clock sunday night.
it was expensive, but well worth it.
hint 1): although it came to over £50 shipped, thats about half the average price for one in this condition.
hint 2):it has pretty much been a holy grail since it came out (thus it can't be any earlier than...RID, i guess)
hint 3):because of getting this, one of the biggest transformers full stop, and the largest i own, will be getting pulled out of the cupboard before long

any guesses?

..hm. What would people here say the best Dinosaur TF is?
I was looking at purchasing a token dino, any continuity/series.

Grimlock looks appealing, but do people have other suggestions?
Or should I just wait to see what the Generations line does?

one from beast wars is probably your best bet.

nope, actually.
it's een more crazy at this price than that.
the auction when i first saw it was 9.99, and i literally nearly fell off of my chair.
so, it's biggger and more expensive, and more of a...ledgendary figure...

News Credits: 6188 · Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:49 am

Dude, I just realised your signature changes.
Wooah.

It doesn't help that I'm slightly feverish, I thought I was hallucinating!

Is it one of the two gods?

I thought so too, but there's a lot of kibble involved!

but i think Va'al has pretty much hit the nail on the head. :KREMZEEK:

have to say, i've found myself wanting the titanium ark recently<-----massive giveaway if you know about this...

News Credits: 6188 · Tue Oct 25, 2011 7:15 am

It sounds like Unicron, seen as how the new United wave has the Ark/Unicron figure.

amirite?

! didn't think about that.
but no, it's the other one.
what it is is th titanium ark comes with a stand that can be slottted into part of the planet mode so it looks like a GIANT ark is flying in orbit.
but anyways:

PRIMUS!!! :KREMZEEK:

all complete, with omega lock, cyber planet key, and instructions.
actually, add that key to the three i have from the sainsburys exclusive warriors from three worlds pack and i have all four for the omega lock. (admittedly, not the cononically correct ones, but eh)
