Agreed-I was more meaning one that isn't a power battler or some such as they have a tendency to look mighty daft

Personally I don't care what kind of figure he is, I just know that I want one.

Well, this is weird.

I'll have to ask Hasbro again (sigh..).

picked up a load (well, 4) Construct-bots at Home Bargains today before heading in to work. managed to not open them til I got home. First experience of this line. Pretty decent. Got Megs, Shocky, Silverbolt and Cliffjumper. Loving Shockwave the most. Any recommendations?

a full review is on my blog

edit: oh, and also, I came home to a lovely surprise, Va'al's former Space Case had arrived! (I'd totally forgot about this!) He's in great condition, even has his wee comic (another surprise, didn't even know they had pack-ins) and is a fun translucent-y mentaller with a trident! :KREMZEEK:

Excellent news! Glad it got there safely.

That RID Prime is worth way more than £6! I've seen complete ones go for £50-60...

Hey, we're obviously nice people. I know someone sold a DotM Leadfoot (+2 more) for almost a half of the original buying price.

I'm just trying to clear some space!

Although I am pretty disappointed with the RID Prime, I figured someone would at least chuck me a tenner for it. Ho hum. Still got a few hours left if anyone fancies a bargain!

I'll have more auctions up soon. I have a ton of Beast Era toys to get shot of (my spares, most of the major characters and a load of others, about 30 odd figures). A load of G1 stuff, some junkers, a few decent ones, a nice big load of weapons and accessories, a few instructions and weapons, A really nice G1 Jazz, a bunch of micromasters and i am half tempted to just bite the bullet and get shot of my entire Unicron Trilogy collection - which is a lot!

Onto sightings... Toys R Us yesterday had nothing exciting. They did have the Black Bee repaint form Beast hunters, but no Prowls and not Simplified. I'm heading to Asda later so may pick up a couple of figures as they were all pretty cheap last time I was there - They had Prowl and Black Bee last time I was there if anyone needs them.

I also finally picked up the Amazon Launchers for my Masterpiece Bluestreak - very happy

I have gone from being completely uninterested in Construct Bots to having 16 of the damn things!

Might be worth giving us lot first dibs on the Beasties (Bio-Combat!) especially if you've prices in mind. Can't promise I'll want to pay þhose prices of course, but I am definitely looking to get more Beast-era stuff. Theres even some UT stuff I'd be interested in.

I'm struggling in the same boat as far as the Construct-bots. Never gave a toss til a few days ago. Only got 4 but I could see that changing soon. Then again...I can also see myself selling some down the line and hardly ever get rid of stuff.

Anyone collect Star Wars toys here? I've got a bunch from the AOTC to just after ROTS era, and probably looking to shift a lot of them soon. Mostly just dudes but I do have a TIE fighter and a Jedi Starfighter or two.

News Credits: 2 · by **Oddimus Prime** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 11:10 am

I'll upload a full list of everything I am selling in the next week or so as soon as I can. You guys get first dibs

In sightings news Asda still have Beast Hunters and Construct Bots on clearance - Only Construct bot I didn't have was Megatron, but I have the 2 pack so wasn't fussed. They still had a deluxe Black Bee and Prowl at less than a fiver, but I didn't pick it up (mainly because the amount I had just forked out to post my previous auctions nearly gave me a heart attack!)

I think I know that guy! :grin:

Oddimus if you have Energon Wing Saber I'm definitely interested!
Same goes for Cybertron Prime, Wing Saber and Red Alert!

News Credits: 2 · by **Oddimus Prime** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 12:11 pm

RID Prime went for £33 in the end so I am quite pleased.

I think I have a Cybertron Wing Sabre knocking about... Not certain if it is complete. Watch this space.

News Credits: 2 · by **NovaSentinel** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 12:45 pm

I'd probably only go for Prime and Wing Saber as a pair, but I'll certainly take a look at your UT list! There's some really underrated figures in those lines, it's sad really that as the 'middle child' as it were for Transformers, it's sort of forgotten...

As Wingsabre from energon was never released in the UK you might be on to a winner there. Same with Alpha Qunitson, had to get mine from botcon (Wingsabre I found in 2 different junker bins and managed o make a complete one)

HLJ has MP Magnus for £83 currently ( the cheapest I've seen it, but just remember this is based on current exchange rates and can go up or down and does not include postage/tax).

Finally got a BH Prowl and his arm broke off! GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Gonna email Hasbro UK about it.

The Entertainer have got the O/S deluxe's in now.

What Beast stuff you selling?

There are a few BW2 and Neo molds I need as well as BW/BM Also a few Micro Masters and parts/bits Id be interested in.

Waits for the list.

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:56 am

yeah I'm quite interested in getting some Japanese BW stuff, but there's a lot of BM/BW guys who I'd be interesting in adding to my collection. Too much really, but then I've waited this long, I can pace myself...maybe.

Terradive arrived today, thanks Va'al. What an awesome figure can't believed I passed him up.

Think I've well and truly blown my budget on tfs this month. Grabbed three of the construtobots from asda, armada scream and scoop arrived from the USA with whirl currently somewhere over the Atlantic and managed to get sealed tomahawk and universe galvatron together for £15 off of eBay.

My wife isn't happy.

I got my monthly pay through the other day, sorted some bills, bought some comics, bought some Transformers... and its gone! :lol:

Looks like Im eating toast at work for the rest of the month! :-(

My local Toys 'R' Us stock system says they have one Titan Metroplex in stock, yet they cant find it anywhere!
How do you loose something the size of a small town? :???:

Scout class construct bots in asda have been further reduced to £1.88. Grabbed a cliffjumper as it would be daft not to.

That's mad
Speaking of TRU tho-was reminded by the news post about official images-have I gone mad or did I read something about MP grimlock being confirmed as on the TRU UK computers, so presumably hitting before too long?
(As I say, I could well have gone mad, it wouldn't be the first time :lol:

)

I got confirmation on that too, but no dates or anything. Same for Prowl.

Mel - Maybe the shop you were in was the Metroplex?
