I see they're still trying to shift the last of the line from the last movie, but having said that, so are Toys R Us.

For what its worth the Beast Hunters Bio's on Tesco Direct are now correct.

I wonder what we will get. I'm praying for a lack of bumblebees and hoping that seeing as a few waves have been released in US we will get a good mix, I'd love to pick up a whole whack of predacons in one swoop.

Ditto. His badassery in the latest episode just upgraded from 'must get' to 'my precoius'!

the Crossfire 2 recolours and United Bruticus I've had shipped from TFSource is in the country! Yay!

"Royal" Mail have decided that they're going to a)charge me again for delivery and b) take their sweet arse time about it too. When I'm skint (paid for it all back in October) and when I paid extra for the speedy shipping.

Basically, our postal service suck donkey baws.


On the plus side Kapow have pre-orders for Hasbro Metroplex and an August release date for him. (and a £160 price-tag, but lets forget about that for now)
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

wow! 160 for the Japanese version is one I'll have then! I can wait, and if that's right it's cheaper than anywhere else is for it so far.

It just ...feels nice, in my case.
And I tend to not be in the flat most of the time, and hate having to deal with Royal Mail for redeliveries.

in a perfect world I'd only buy stuff from a physical shop with an actual human selling it to me. if actual humans are not available, I'd accept something similar to the folks who work at supermarket and mcdonalds.

Partly for cost reasons, as I havn't found 1 online for less than £16 shipped, where as in store it's only £12.99 (usually), partly cause depsite the convenience and huge advances in online purchasing, I still like physically going in to a store to purchase stuff, and partly:

either redliveries or having to take time out to head down to the sorting office.

TRU Norwich has a butt-load of DotM and PRiD Voyagers for 14.99, Leaders for 24.99, TWO SHELVES of MP Optimus (still at £99), and Deluxes from PRiD and DotM, but nothing tasty.

And definitely no Dreadwing or Skyquake. Or Generations Voyagers. Or even Deluxes.

Hey all

First time posting, read this page regularly enough...

I just got back from Toys R Us in Chatham, Kent. Nothing exciting to report unfortunately (and I have a £10 voucher that needs spending fast!) They had the usual PRid's in stock, most interesting being a Ratchet and a boat load of every single Voyager at £14.99... except Skyquake and only a couple of Dreadwings. Had a fair few Cyberverse as well and I had to resist the urge to buy all of their Cyberverse Vehicons.. but I think 9 is plenty for now... They also had a bunch of the usual DotM gumpf. Only 4 Masterpiece Primes though, was tempted to got one for 89 with my voucher but I already have one so that would just be greedy!

On the FoC front they only had Primes and a butt load of Cassettes (discs technically).

I tend to go there on a mostly weekly basis so if anyone is from the area and looking, let me know and I''ll try and keep you posted.

I also go to Bluewater regularly. There they have The Entertainer (nothing exciting last time I was there), John Lewis (which historically has been a gold mine for annoying to find figures for me - although nothing other than Energisers and Botshots currently) and Boots, which most interestingly has Kreo combiners for £8 each! Only Devastator and Predaking at last visit though.

On another note... the Beast Hunters Voyagers appeared briefly (but out of stock) on The Entertainers website (thetoyshop.com) and were in the "upcoming toys" section but have since vanished...

I know there is nothing new or exciting here but just letting you guys know where I am and where I go :)

Sven's got more Kreons in stock, combiners and full sets of 12 of the bagged figures. Shipping prices have had to go up with the recent royal mail changes so not quite the deal it was last time round, but I've gone in for a second set of the combiners in the substandard packaging to build as individual bots and a set of the wave 1 guys.

well, I finally got the invoice for the customs charges for my Crossfire United Burritocus. £7 tax and £14 "clearance" charges. Meh, fair enough. What's grinding my gears is that it's at a depot in a different city, so I can't just go pick it up easily, and the letter says next day delivery if I pay online, but the website says Tuesday, which isn't the next day. Monday is the next day! So much for paying EMS shipping to get it here quickly.
:( Trying to sort out a lift there tomorrow to pick up, but have to phone in advance apparently, so it'll be an early morning for me.

Liking the look of the TF Go! combiner dudes, but maybe too pricey for me. Hoping in vain for a Hasbro release (they couldn't be hooped to do Breakdown, so it doesn't seem very likely they'll do new Japanified characters).

Oh, and considering which Metroplex to ask for for my Birthday. Metroplex for my birthday, yes...it is the 80s again!

Motto: "I am Oddzilla - Hear me RAWR! O.o"
I just had a quick visit to London and went to Forbidden Planet. I don't normally get stuff from there as they either have nothing I want or it's just silly prices. However today they had the entire Wave 3 FoC deluxes (Magnus, Kickback, Sideswipe, Starscream and Air Raid) as well as Voyager Soundwave and Soundblaster. They also had Prime and Jazz, but I already have them...

The deluxes were £17.99 and the Voyagers were £29.99. I picked up Soundwave as I have wanted him for ages (and I already have all the tapes) but couldn't really justify picking them all up (I really would have, but my wife might have been a tad "upset".)

I was happily putting in tapes (I know they are Discs but I'm going to call them tapes anyway, because I am old skool innit) and edjecting them across the room when my wife called to get me to pick her up... Damnit I was having fun woman! Why cant a 35 year old bloke sit in a room on his own and giggle gleefully when a small plastic Robot Bat flies across the room?!? [-(
