Self explanatory!

£34.99, falls in line with the price point of the "Masters of Metallikato" box set, supposedly available online to purchase, no word yet on bricks and mortar stores :D

My local Toys R Us in Northampton has had this in stock for the best part of 2 weeks now; though at £35 I won't be picking it up. Thankfully, looking at the quantities they have, there'll still be plenty availble when they decide to drop the price.

This set is bipolar. On the one hand, a G1 homage that isn't too bad, looking quite good in both modes.


On the other, we have an ugly G1 colour scheme that just looks bad. Bad bad bad. Terribly bad. Everytime I see this colour scheme applied to a construction vehicle, I want to commit several war crimes. All at the same time. It is just that bad.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one that was sickened by bad green construction vehicles repaints. If I had money, I'd buy a set for you and send it to you so you could commit said war crimes to said ugly repaints.

Then again, that would require money....and a job...and a divorce... :shock:

I was in my local in Steveneage on Thurs', they didn't have them, which is why I posted the listing from the website.

I don't know how the distribution for TRU in the UK works. Hopefully these will hit the Home Counties/South East soon :PRAY:

You won't be saying that when you see Mixmaster's stupid ugly head, it looks much worse in person; like a mutant beanie baby or something.
