Got my pre-orders in for C2.0 Acid Storm and Galvatron to go with Onsalught, Octane, Prowl, Sunstreaker and the ever so lovely Magnus armour.

And I'll save it all up for shipping close to christmas. Save myself a little money on the horrendous BBTS shipping prices.

Shed-- how much? :wink:

I love WST Swoop. He's easily my fave.

Nice haulage there too Tek! I can't wait for universe to hit stores. The hunt will be on once more!

Oh, and that Magnus armour, my god. WANTS IT NOW.

£74.99 MIB....not a terrible price, but not a great one either.

I do love God Neptune's imperial colour scheme though. :grin:

Or is it King Poseidon?? I keep getting two different names coming up for him. :???:

Ah, feck. I've just had an email from ebay saying that the listing for the MP Megs that I bought the other day has been removed. It's already paid for and I've had a payment confirmation email from the seller saying that it'll ship in 2-4 days so hopefully I'll get a shipping notification from the seller early this week, I might have to start chasing them though. At least the payment went through paypal, so hopefully I'll have some comeback if things do go awry.

Anyone else see Rise of the Constructicons yet? Cliches, cliches everywhere. Scrapper and Mixmaster are the kinds of characters that you can both love and loathe at the same time. The toys for them should be all kinds of win though. Scrapper's alt mode looks to be kind of a Beast Machines Scavenger homage, should translate to toy form really well.

News Credits: 6 · Sun May 18, 2008 8:33 am

Yeah I caught it, 'cept had to use a poor quality video, cos FoT pulled the second half.

I can't wait to see some of the moulds for these characters.

Yeah i saw it this morning. I'm loving the Constructicons, they're full of personality. I love the way they wolf-whistle and harrass good looking cars! However i can't figure if they Scrapper and Mix are gonna combine to form Devastator or if 3 or 4 more Constructicons are gonna some how be introduced.

Next episode please!

As promised (threatened?): my review/ramblings of the TF:A Battle Begins pack. http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39496&start=30. Enjoy/mock/whatever.

That's a great review Sledge, I loved it! I hope you're planning to do more!

I also recommend you throw them up in the reviews section of tformers, because that was genuinely very good.

I'm very tempted to get the 2-pack Prime instead of Voyager now, to keep scale with the others...
(and he looks so durn nice!)

Also:
Robot Replicas reduced to £6.48.
B/Bee 2 pack - £7.48
Movie Deluxe - £7.47
Star Wars Transformers - £9.29

Not sure if it's in store as well or not, will find out tomorrow (technically today, I suppose!) or Saturday.

Went to a couple of big Tesco's yesterday. Everything still at full price. :-(

Tekka wrote:Yeah. Movie leaders have been half price in store for a while now. They're the only ones that didn't go back up after the sale.

I've never seen any leaders in the two big 24hr Tesco stores I go to. So can't confirm or deny that. Don't know why they haven't had 'em, especially the bigger of the two. It's got quite a toy section in it, so I'm a bit surprised. Maybe I've just been unlucky.

Anyway, not to worry. The reason I went to one of the stores was to pick up a delivery from Tesco Direct.(They deliver orders over £50 to a store for free!)

I ordered two leaders, but was worried about:
a) Them sending two Leader Prime.
b) What condition they would arrive in. (Thinking about Play.com's inadequate packaging!) :sad:

Obviously the Tesco staff are much better as they are in perfect boxes and one of each! :APPLAUSE:

I went to TRU today, hoping to get the TF animated Prime and megs pack, but i was quite suprised to see that they had old stock out, e.g Masterpiece prime (£70) and cybertron Prime uno the leader class one i thinks (£40), oh and they had wingblade and jetstorm? but i dont like either of them so just left it.

Here's a few old photo's of some of my collection. Taken with my phone and a bit blurry, I would take some new 'uns with my new digi camera, but it's started playing up! :-x

Plus I've put a lot away while I re-decorate my front room!

Thank 'ee for your kind words, sir. Makes the couple of hours spent captioning the pics in MS Paint worthwhile.

I'd like to sort out my camera arrangements, I'm not very happy with how the pics came out. Maybe sorting out a white backdrop would help?

Prime is really quite nice indeed. And this is coming from someone still coming to terms with the Animated style. I'm really impressed with how they've made figures that are so cartoon-accurate and yet so posable.

It is settled. Your work has really shown me what a beaut he is. I shall go buy the two pack as soon as I get the money.

I say stay as you are. I think the cardboard box was a far nicer backdrop than a white background.

It reminds me a fair bit of DilaZirk's funnies over on tfw2005.com. I love the way he does it.

I say keep it up! Maybe do some other backgrounds as you go, give it a little story to work with! I approve!

I shall have another go at taking some pics of my collection. It ain't that grand, ain't that rare and fantastical, but I love it all the same.

I know, I'll take pics of the combined collection my bro and I have together! There's well over 200 figures in that one, and has some nice rarities to look at.

I used to squish them all onto one shelving unit. But I've got so many now, that there's at least 5 tfs on each surface, and another load in a storage box (mostly BW and Armada).

My bro's the same. He has a crate under his bed filled with armada, energon, RiD, and a few more.

Gotta admit, I've been toying with the idea of doing a photocomic for a while, if only to have a use for all the TFs and other toys I have lying about. I've got a few ideas, but I need to sit down and work out what I want to do with it. I think it goes without saying that it would not be a serious story. :wink:
