I'm really tempted to get the Ultra Magnus upgrade set but I don't have a magnus but I'llmprobably get it anyway why did I skip the Ultra Magnus ,Skywarp two pack when I saw it half price in woolworths.

I wonder if you people can help me I'm trying to remember the name of a toy but I dont remember the name of the line.I think it was early 90's It came with a figure which looked a bit like a power ranger and a dragon, I think the dragon could transform into something else but Cant remember what, I think it was a jet. The dragon could also combine with the figure like armour. The figure was red and grey the dragon was red,black and gold. I think I had another one which was the same figure but with a drill tank that combined with the figure, there may of been other vehicles in this set but my memory is a bit fuzzy on it. Any help would be appreciated.

New laptop goodness! =D =D =D

It runs real smooth; faster than the one I used to use even.

And Vista works fine. I guess I'll never understand people's complaints about it...

Now to figure out how to get the usb mouse to work.... :-?

My question to Hasbro:

HasbroToyShop.com is listing some new Transformers Deluxe Class figures (Megatron, Optimus Prime and Overkill). Will these figures become available through your UK site, or will UK collectors have to get American friends to help them out? Thanks in advance.

to be honest that reply is pretty ambigious, they basically saying they dont care enough to know, what they get or gonna get so its just a big meh

i bet they don't even know what item were asking about

btw wht do they mean by without prejudice?

looks like i'm going to my american source, from where i got SDCC nemi prime from, better safe than sorry

I don't want to come across like Kanye West, but I think Hasbro UK just doesn't care about Transformers fans. As you say, it's a pretty useless answer, and it's not the first time I've had that happen. I'd rather a definite "no" than a "well, we're not really sure." Great. So do I need to make alternative arrangements to pick up Overkill and Dragstrip, or will they be shelfwarming on half price at the Entertainer in a couple of months time?

Just finished uploading all my music and other crap. All set up, and the old thing's been removed.

Really, I love Vista. It's awesome.

Now to fill the hard drive with porn

Sledge-- You'll buy from the US, and they'll be shelf warming by January

HTS replies are usually just standard answers I think, notice how they don't mention the names of the figures you asked about (the same happened to me last year when I was unable to find Bonecrusher anywhere in York). I reckon the best thing to do would be to find out contact details for the head of Transformers here (I think TF@themoon know them) and ask them (I believe it's a she) directly

how is that coming across like kanye west? is it because i mentioned him yesterday???

I'm really going to have to sort something out for Overkill and Dragstrip, they both look great.

Kinda like Fracture and Crankcase as well, but I can ebay those.

News Credits: 8 · Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:13 pm

eeew fracture looks awful, and crankcase, i have no opinion on him because i don't no which one he is

Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:16 pm

not sure if i mentioned this, but just over a week ago i passed my motorbike test, then last weekend put a deposit down on this:

and im picking it up on Saturday...woohoo!!!!

Oh and a piece of advice...never travel on a motorway on a 125cc motorbike...not fun

That's pretty damn sweet RC. Kinda reminds me of Cybertron Lugnutz.

Crankcase is the blue repaint of Cyb Red Alert. Which reminds me, I want Cannonball as well. Annoyingly, pretty much the cheapest way to get him is by buying a two pack with Downshift. I have Downshift already and don't need another. :-(

Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:53 pm

downshift? isnt that wheeljack? if it is i'd be interested in getting him off you..

Well, if you happen across one of those two packs for a bargain price you just can't pass up, I'll relieve you of Downshift.

I completely forgot about his release during cybertron. (If chronic ain't up to the task that is!).

Not quite wheeljack chronic mate. You're thinking of energon downshift.

News Credits: 5 · Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:34 pm

Well, there's a guy on ebay selling the pack for £18 posted from the States. Split two ways, and adding a bit for posting one of the figures to someone else in the UK, I reckon we'd be looking at about a tenner each.

Bargain Alert:

Voyager Bulkhead for the bargain price of £7.99 delivered!!

If ya don't mind the box being bashed to f@ck of course!

my friend you are mistaken nobody here likes animated.

hey sledge heres cybertron cannonball here http://www.tfzone.co.uk/transformers/home.php?cat=256, but he's a lil sepensive mite as well do wht u first planned

News Credits: 5 · Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:50 pm

£8?

I'll have some of that. Any idea how long that price will be good for?

Electron: Yeah, I've spotted that before. Problem is, by the time you add shipping, it's only a quid or two cheaper than buying the two pack. Might as well buy the two and see if anyone wants Downshift.

Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:00 pm

energon downshift = wheeljack, mentalaly noted

I never watched anything past the first few episodes of armada

Electron I dont know what your talkin bout I love animated, not a massive fan of the toy line but there are quite a few I want, not voyger bulkhead though Im getting the leader one

for some reason I'd rather pay 30 odd quid more for a slightly larger vertion

maybe i should think about that?

anyway im going to watch the new heroes now, been saving it all day

but first a piss..

News Credits: 8 · Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:07 pm

1/3 way through new heroes mate, it is epic

you find out who killed nathan, and theres massive twists, its great and im not ven half way through

animated i only want blurr cause he will look gud as a young cybertronian blurr and i wanna see omega
