Ay up lads, just a quick drop in to say I've heard some different constructbots are about, Shockwave, Drag Strip, and I've seen a lone Thundercracker in my local sainsbury's.

Its a local nerdfest, for local nerds, we'll have no trouble here!

Milton Keynes is just a short car drive/bus ride away for me and I missed it last year so hoping to make this one.
I see they have announced it will be bigger too, extending into their new arena and the stadium.

Working Friday but looking to show my face on the Saturday for a browse, a pint and maybe a purchase or three! :grin:

Some reductions at Tesco until mid Feb. Commanders at £6, deluxes £8.50. Not sure on the rest as my poopy local store doesn't carry anything bigger.

I expect the transformers prime beast hunters voyager megatron and shockwave to be released later on this year around september in the uk along with some of the missing commander class figures

about a month or so ago i picked up a prime BH deluxe night shadow bumblebee and deluxe prowl from toys r us in bolton and they were the only ones in store and since then no other copies have been found so i guess i got really really lucky

im hoping more generations figures will be released in the uk very soon as im doing some shelves dedicated to them i didnt get metroplex though as im not really bothered about it and it is pretty pricey for a figure whos transformed state looks like hes sitting down

i got lucky again at toys r us yesterday as i picked up a dotm voyager class sentinel prime for £10 and it was the only one in stock it looks great next to leader class sentinel prime ill try and upload photos of what i get every time i go there from now on

I think all the Beast Hunters Cyberverse commanders have appeared over here. That is I have seen / purchased Hard Shell, Trailbreaker, Huffer and Shockwave recently. The only one I have passed on so far is Green Prime.

I got Huffer and Shockwave in Tesco - happened to spy a Cyberverse commander box on the overstock shelf. I then used my awesome superpower of being 6'5" to reach up to it and help myself to the tasty toys before someone else got to them

This was a few weeks before Christmas, but I have to confess I haven't seen them anywhere since.

First sighting of a shockwave in the UK beadt hunters line! That bodes well for the voyager coming out, means its not a legal problem with the name.

Oh and speaking of dodgy repaints of BH cyberverses, the new argos catalogue came out last weekend. In it pictured under 'beast hunters cyberverse commander' was bludgeon.

Did I not mention this before? I thought I put it up as a post ages ago O.o

Reminds me of how last year in the 1st week of december i found at toys r us in bolton a beast hunters deluxe night shadow bumblebee and a beast hunters deluxe prowl i of course snatched them up but the funny thing is those were the only ones in store i have not seen any more since, i guess with them being the last waves it will be harder to get them oh well. Anyhow im trying to save up around £400-£500 for the age of extinction figures when they get released as i only truly started collecting transformers properly around 2 years ago and i missed out on some dark of the moon figures due to my late interest but im not missing out this time

Haven't seen Shadow Bumblebee, but saw two Prowls - one of which went to SkyWarpsGhost.

In other news I am really really really really really really bored.

Anyone planning on Auto Assembly this year?

Cheers again for Prowl Va'al. Loving the head sculpt as well. Getting a Chips vibe off his 'Shades'.

Me and the missus (as well as Maxman and his missus) are all booked for Auto Assembly this year. I'd been meaning to go for ages, but with it being the 30th and TF4 this year I couldn't pass it up.

I'm waiting for hotel confirmation stuff, but my ticket is sorted since last year's!
Should look into trains, too.

Saw commander class beast hunter shockwave at argos today. Nice sculpt but had to pass.

Before I forget, does anyone want to buy a masterpiece grimlock complete with box and instructions? Pm me if you are interested.

Hi all,
Major long time no post

But does anyone know where I can get FOC Swindle's for a decent price, not risking getting scalped on eBay

by **TheGlynreaper** » Mon Jan 27, 2014 8:35 am

Right on friday when i get paid i am going to search high and low around stores like argos and tesco for BH Commander class Huffer and Shockwave i might also get commander class optimus prime as i already have the exclusive predacons rising version with a purple predaking

im saying it now night shadow bumblebee is one of my favourite variants of him as i like to pretend that megatron ordered shockwave to try and create darker versions of the autobots that know there every moves and bumblebees evil clone is the worst so bad that even the original bumblebee stars to question his intreguity and loyalty to the autobots

Popped into Toys r us warrington today, they had both year of the horses on the shelves, They had 2 Optimus Primes and 1 of the Starscreams, Optimus was £124.99 and Starscream was £109.99, I have no interest in them but others here might. Nothing much else, they had an FOC kickback but I already have the Takara one that I got for about the same price on Ebay ages ago.

I'm pretty tempted to go to AA as well, not been before and this year seems as good as any.

I just need to ensure that the Mrs doesn't want to go on holiday then. The joys of working in a school... only get to go on holiday when everyone else wants to

Nothing much to report. Checked Asda yesterday, nothing new although they did have like 4 Cyberverse Air Vehicons a Blight and a Bumblebee, which was kinda odd as most places seem to sell out of Air Vehicons pretty smartish (normally by me buying them - I left these ones though as the Mrs has began to question my need to buy them all "Do you really need another winged Steve?" - actual quote from my Mrs

)
