I've just found another reason to be disgruntled, but this might make some folks here less disgruntled.

So, cowering under the fear of being assaulted by Disgruntled Brits everywhere, I have resolved to purchase Titanium Rodimus Prime. Can I find him in Reading? No. Can I find him in Esher? No. Can I find him in London (that's London)? No.
I went away to Boston at the weekend to see my parents. On Saturday I went shopping and saw Titanium Rodimus Prime on sale for £15.00 in Oldrids, "Boston's Own Department Store," of which there's only one other branch in the country. Deadlines upon my brow, I had no time to purchase him, and decided to buy him on Monday.
But come Monday, I find the shops are closed! It's a small market town. It's bank holiday. There will be no TF-related purchases this day. Of course, I had to leave Boston on Monday night to get back to Reading for work on Tuesday. I've searched Reading. No Titanium Rodimus. I'm at work in London. No Titanium Rodimus.
Will I ever see this fellow again? Why are there five sitting in some market town in one of England's most desolate counties, and yet I can't find one in the South East, in our disgusting capital?

It's funny isn't it? Some stoopid little hamlet of farmers in nowheresville will have tfs city dwellers only dream of finding.
Not the case for me. Most tfs seem to know I'm coming, and so decide to go hide out back where I can't get them. The barstards!

You need to set some traps!
It's difficult. He looked so shiny and good in his packaging, too. Now I have Buyer's Remorse for not having splurged at the right time.
O well, kudos to Oldrids' stock buyers, though.

Yes, as in the IoW. She lived in Whitwell for decades but moved after her husband died.
I'm not sure if there's a Toymaster near me. Do they have a website?

My Toymaster is stocked quite well with TFs. Sure they still have Primus Galvatron and several other Cybertron figures but they have plenty of classics and a few Titaniums too.
My Disgruntlement has lowered slightly today with the arrival of my KISS Sparkbots. Nifty little buggers and I didn't have to pay through the nose! Yay!

I found Titanium Rodimus and Soundwave no problem when the new Argos catalogue first came out. Alt Ravage 2 on the other hand is nowhere to be found I don't think any Scottish stores have had him in yet.
I've been checking the online stock checker every couple of days and have not had any luck at all.
On a more positive note.... my lost MP Megatron has shown up.
Posted on the same day yet they arrived a week apart.
I think I may just order Ravage 2 from Toyspark and be done with it.
