I've read tonight that TRU are getting re-supplies of CS Optimus and Rodimus Major swell as new items like Hoist and Astrotrain.
Apparently they're asking £20 for Rodimus Major and £30 for Prime, which is an increase of £10 on both.

Aye, the TRU reissue of G1 Prime.
I've not seen them personally, but 2 people over at TFW2005 say they have.

I remember picking up CS Prime in the Forbidden Planet in Croydon for £17. I think that they realised their mistake as a week later the price shot up to £35.

I bought Megs off this guy with no problems and I see he has a Bluestreak.

Does anyone know of any stores that sell TFs in London? I don't mean places like Argos or Woolworths, but maybe smaller stores, collectors' shops, etc.

Agreed, I'd be looking for Magnus and PM Prime. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the reissues that didn't make it over here, either. Rodimus Prime, Dirge, Astrotrain, etc.

I might brave a trip to my local TRU tomorrow to see what's about. I'm still considering getting a Cybertron Soundwave so I'll report back if there's anything of interest.

If TrU dont have him, I keep seeing him at woolies.
Id seriously recomend getting the Japanese version if at all posible (I know that wont be easy). His paint aps are so much better (espceilly the face).
Anyway, I went to Teeside today. Saw Hot Fuzz (very good film) and bought some tfs.
Went to Argos. They *FINALLY* had Ravage. ONE Ravage. I bought him. They also had Cyb Menasor on the reduced to clear shelves, they had at least two of him, one of which I bought. It was only £12.48, so if you want him, and live anywhere near Teeside park, I recomend you get there post haste (I wasnt the only person showing interest in em). Sadly STILL no sign of the Titianiums... Didnt go to TrU, cos I like having some money left in my account.

I've found Classics in my local Woolies. they had Megatron, Optimus, Rodimus, Bumblebee and Starscream.
I bought Rodimimus from them yesterday the last wave 1 deluxe I still needed.
I'm planning to go to TRU next week to hopefully find Jetfire.

You saw alt Sideswipe? I think that would be his first UK sighting if you did.

yeah, he was nestled in at the back between a load of alt bluestreaks and smokescreens
I would have gotten a pic, but i left my phone at home. It looked to me like someone was hiding him for scalping reasons...otherwise, I don't know where the hell TRU got him from

I really don't like this three HC thing. It's confusing me quite a bit.
I know, let's all change our names to High Command! That'd really confuse thing!
Went to poundland in Kidderminster. They had a load of KO RM figures and two MW figures for- you guessed it- a pound a piece. All were double size, apart from Prime. Not bad quality either.
WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT CS PRIME?!?!?!?!?
They better have some at my TRU when I go soon, or I will eat the staffs' hearts!
What figures are supposed to be out CS wise again?
And an Alt Sideswipe in England? On ourtoy shelves? I'm honoured. I hope we can see more of these figures, as that's one of the few I haven't got yet.
EDIT:- After recent thought, I say we need to begin being disgruntled about the prices of tfs in the UK to the max, on top of being disgruntled about the avaialability.
Maybe we can see prices falling? Who knows!

You say this like it is somehting new...
Psychout's puchasing adventures.
Im not sure sure why, and im pretty sure recreational substances were involved, but on friday I apparently bought myself a BW Stampy for $12 + whatever postage they try to rip me off with.
(think i did pretty well, that works about at just over a fiver and from the pics its in pretty good nick, and in box, lets hope they dont try and gold plate the packaging...)
Also, has anyone got any news on CS Prime in the North? Is he out around here too?
