G1 Blaster
G1 Omega Supreme (was this ever reissued?? im fairly sure i read it had been somewhere)
Superion + Menasaur (the origional ones all 10 tf's dont think its been reissued)
also liked the MP3 Soundwave is £59 a decent price for that piece of kit?
basically any G1 tf

Ebay is definitely you're friend for some of those. You can get almost any G1 figure there. You can get KO Superion and Menasor from the bay easily, but original ones pop up frequently. As MB said, try BBTS for G1 OS reissues as the original hardly ever turns up on ebay UK (although I managed to snap one up last summer). As for the MP3 soundwave, I have no idea cos I don't want him.

no the MP3 wasnt including p&p but its the cheapest ive found it, been looking over ebay, found a lot that i like, still a bit dubious about ebay. i purchased a G1 rodimus Prime a few years back that never showed, and i bought what i was told was the "rubber wheeled" metroplex WITH instructions, turned out to be plastic with no instructions

I do hope you made a complaint about that. That's false advertisement- and probably more.

Depends on the shipping. I think the figure used to retail for about £50. I'll have a browse.

http://www.digital-toys.com/tfmusiclabel.html- $95 there, but that's pretty bad; same for BBTS...

Neon Martian's out of stock...

Damn, I miss Ellis' models...

As long as the shipping isn't extortionate, I think that may be the best deal available to you...

But keep searching. There is ALWAYS somewhere you can get what you want for less.

Got myself a cheap Omegatron today (£30 ), Pristene condition exept for a peice of plastic missing off leg which is mostly hidden by his leg guard.

He does not walk properly because of it but runs great in tank mode.

I think he will make a great Omega Sentinel to complement Omega Supreme.

I love my Mirage. Top stuff that man.

yeah it is a nice mold, especially as his right arm can be a cannon arm, or a huge ass claw arm!

I'm assuming you saw this at xybertoys - do you realise that they do free P+P to the UK?

no i didnt realise that lol even better

I bought a Payload off of Ebay for £10.99 and he arrived today and all I can say is that he is sweet!!

Congrats. I don't have the figure yet myself, simply becase I know that there are shops stocking it so I'm waiting to see if he makes his way to Yorkshire (along with Dropkick) before resorting to the web.

Dropkick is freakin sweet. Can't say much about Payload- passed on it like I did all the lens heads.


I forgot about Xybertoys! I'll have to go see if they've got anything I'm after in stock...

1 exam to go, and it's next week! Hoorah!

are you talking about the payload and dropkick from the movie range???? if so, payload looks cool, but i aint too sure if i like dropkick or not

Waylander III wrote:are you talking about the payload and dropkick from the movie range???? if so, payload looks cool, but i aint too sure if i like dropkick or not

Yes we are - I like payload's alt mode but can't stand his lens head, Dropkick on the other hand looks cool in both modes

his lens head does look a bit off lol i dunno about dropkick, he may grow on me, the animated megatron has.....wow do i like him lol, is tf animated on in the uk yet?

As far as I know, its not being shown at the mo - but will eventually be shown by Nickelodeon. As that's probably ages away, I'll be watching it on youtube.

cool, might give it a look at then, do they have the whole episodes on there now??? good quality??

There's two different users putting up the different episodes. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=FanofTransformers Good quality, however they do have an extra logo in the bottom left hand corner (doesn't really affect it)

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TFAnimated
Don't know the quality of this one.

cool ty

Welcome to the board! (Although I'm pretty much a noob round these parts as well!)
Your best bet for Blaster would be a US seller IMO. There's a lot more floating around over there than in the UK. If ya don't mind an iffy tape deck mechanism, (as a lot of 'em suffer from this) then you should be able to pick one up cheap ish.
I think mine cost about $30 inc shipping (no gun included)
A couple of US sellers that I've used fairly often with no probs are trendclick and wheeljackslab. Always get a quote for shipping with overseas sellers befor bidding though!
wheeljackslab's shipping is v reasonable, but he does require you to send payment in cash ($ not £) which I advise sending "International Signed For" (about £3/£4 if I remember right) Not that I don't trust the guy, just the postal service!

Omega Supreme is gonna be re issued in the near future in Japan under the Encore re-releases, but prob unlikely to make it over here at retail.

Hope that helps

There's a thread over at tfw2005 that has the torrent links that are fairly decent quality.

Updated about an hour after its first aired in the US.

Hmm, it sems people have different experiences with Wheeljackslab. I remember reading a thread over in the Toys forum where someone had been trying to contact him for weeks and he didn't reply and a few other people also chimed in with their stories of woe. The best advice for Ebay is to be very careful and if you aren't sure about an item you're interested in, ask someone here (or in the Toys forum) for their opinions on it. Most people don't want to see fellow collectors get ripped off.

Good advise.
Must be about 12/15 occasions I've bought from him and had no problems (yet!)
He can be very abrupt in his emails, but he's always replied within a few days. (Looking at the amount of sales he has each week does make this understandable though!)

thank you all, as for blaster, ive seen a few "brand new" reissues on ebay, supposedly unopenned, i kinda like having the boxes as well as the figure (i have a seperate display for the boxes hehe) so ill probably spend that bit extra to get one of those, but if not, ill deffo check out the us sites

Hey all ,i used to read these pages ALL the time but ive been without the net for ages so im kinda out of touch with the tf goings on in the uk. any ideas which is th next line of toys due out over here??? ive been collecting afew from what i see in the shops, but without the net ive been lost so i stopped collecting and put them all away until just recently.

As far as I know, the next line that's coming out here is the Allspark Power range of movie toys, but if you want a completely new range of stuff then it'll be Animated shortly after the show starts being shown on Nickelodeon. As long as you live in the UK, you'll be a disgruntled Brit forever (unless Hasbro starts to release everything here at the same time as the US)

Yarrgh, unfortunately the pirate thing died a while back.
