Dont get your hopes up guys, argos rarely stock what they advertise in their mag. 95% of the time i go to get something there they dont have the ones i want.
On their site it doesnt say that its even a two-pack, and the bumblebee is just called a "free" 74 bumblebee. No mention of an 08 version.
But damn this is only £25?!?! I might have to stop by there tomorrow and have a look, despite my distaste for argos.

the best way to make sure you get this item is to reserve the item for store pick up from the argos site
http://www.argos.co.uk as the site will tell you where and if it has the item in stock.voyager prime and deluxe bumblebee 08 £25

Like i just said above, the site doesnt have the two pack listed as a two pack. Its just listed as a single voyager prime with a free 74 camaro BB. Reserving it online wont make much difference if that is all they got in their shipment.

There have been many confirmations that this IS the 2 pack with the 08 BB, not sure why people still think it cant be, i know its odd for us Brits to get a good TF deal from Hasbro and even odder for Argos to get something right but this time they have

forget their website, look for classics assortment on argos.co.uk there is a picture of a cybertron deluxe, tesco.com have had pictures of transformers transformed to bot mode and standing on there hands

...woolworths.co.uk has the 'classics 2pack ultra magnus and skywarp' but with pics of gen 1 skywarp and robot heroes ultra magnus yet in store it is the classics verson.... buying it tomorrow

... soooooo the lesson is forget wat the website says

Picked this two-pack up last week..I was a bit skeptical even when I had reserved it on the website - cos sites such as play.com show the voyager prime not out until late august over here. But no problems at all and yeah it was £25.
Oh and guys don't forget to pick up your free Bumblebe poster...when I asked the lady at the counter for mine she looked blankly at me..took her 15 mins to find it after asking practically everyone in the store - all saying they knew nothing about it!

I seriously dont beleive it!
Argos, a place that NEVER Has anything that they advertise in their mags in stock ACTUALLY HAD THE TWO PACK!
I reserved it online with a branch that was a good 12 miles away from me, no other branches near me (which amounted to 4 shops altogether) had it in stock, but this one store did so i reserved it just for the hell of it.
I didnt expect that they would actually have it in stock, but i went down there today and they had ONE left! So, its official: No Argos store in the basildon and southend area has any of these two packs.
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!! HAHAHAH
Ahem...yes anyway, its a fantastic deal if you can find it. I love BB and i wasnt interested in voyager prime at first but now i have transformed him (which was a major pain in the butt) i like him alot. His light piping is quite superb.
Im so happy!

It doesnt come with the two pack, i found this out today. The poster only comes with toys listed in the flyer, not in the mag. Sucks.

the argos website lists the toys the poster comes free with. If you really want it
this is the best bet. heck, 4 legends for under 8 quid I'm thinking of getting this just for the cheapness of it anyway.

I ordered the 2 pack for home delivery and they said it would be with me on tuesday past before 1pm. I still don't have it, I called today and it is still in mainland UK, I MIGHT get it tomorrow if I'm lucky. but it is confirmed and ready to ship so WOOHOO anyways, just NEVER use their home delivery service.

Just got mine in Worthing, Sussex. Really nice pack. It's good to FINALLY see the 08 Bumblebee! Don't really think much of the Voyager prime though, Not a patch on the Leader class! The packaging is the American so it's nice to have some Non-Tri-logo bits in the collection!
