TRU Norwich has more US packaged DotM stuff, including Armor Topspin.
There may be a slight chance that Soundwave and Que might show up, too!

The Entertainer was pretty poor, but had the new Rescue Bots Energize line, with Optimus and Bumblebee in two different sizes. Voyagers for £15 as well, and a couple of DOTM deluxes. I was considering getting some Iron Man 3 stuff, but passed on it, as im still looking for a Vehicon! (and Skyquake)

Any of the TF:P Dreadwings I've seen in TRU lately have all been US packaged as well.

So are TRU offering the MP Optimus under that offer? If so that would make purchasing him a lot more viable! ;)


Yes they are. I picked up two in Cardiff earlier and I've got one going for less than retail (p+p has to apply though, lost my job)for whoever get's there first. Just wanted to throw it at you guys before going the obvious auction route, always better to help a fellow collector than fund a horror.

Sorry for spamming the place up but Mrs O is on my back. If anybody wants this thing I'll need to know by midnight or it's going on the well known internet auction site, so I've been told. I'll hold on to it idefinitely if someone here really wants it though, just tell me to and I can wait on payment.

Cheers Va'al. I know I sound desperate but I'm not, I'll be okay for a bit. Just want to give my friends here the first shot because distribution sucks, at least in this area and I don't know about availability for you folks.

Alright, I know I'm posting too much but I've had a chat and we can sit on this for a bit (so to speak). If anyone can't find it there's one here, PM me. On a different note has anybody found FOC Soundwave? I'm way out of the loop.

I don't think we've seen Generation Voyagers anywhere, as yet.
I'm patiently waiting for Grimlock (and Deluxe Starscream).

If you are looking for the new FOC stuff like soundwave, blaster and the rest, Forbidden planet have them listed as pre-orders to arrive around 30th april. I presume that other places like TRU will start getting them at the same time roughly. If you have a look on the website they also have the preorders for springer and blitzwing, think they were due in 7th July. I was planning to pre-order a few but the wife wondered whether they might be cheaper at AA?

Also picked up TF Prime voyager Ultra Magnus and Starscream from my local Argos, think they might be my last Prime toys as I really want the generations stuff.

True dat SkyWarpsGhost! I'm really not street enough to use that phrase.
She's actually just bought me a G1 springer from ebay as well, so props to all the fine women behind every lucky TF fan!

If anyone saw BH Rebellion PM me, I need to discuss the awesomeness of it all! :KREMZEEK:

I did pop onto the prime boards, but the repeated moaning about tf prime being too much of a kids show put me off! 8-}

Start checking your local Smyths Toy Stores, folks! I've spent today travelling to four different stores (Castle Vale, Walsall, Telford and Kidderminster) and have got two RiD Vehicons to show for it.

Castle Vale and Walsall also had a good representation of the FoC Combaticons if anyone's interested.

Also saw a voyager Skyquake in my local TRU. Didn't get it as I'm still not convinced by the green. Went back to get it anyway and some bugger had nabbed it. Ah well. You snooze you lose. :BANG_HEAD:

I had to let the Prime go sorry, check out my first Youtube video though. Yeah, some lighting issues and I was too drunk to remember to mention that it was FOC Ravage. Hopefully things will improve.

Time for Voyager hunting! :D

Guys, the Beast hunters line has appeared on the Tesco Direct website, all the figures at the moment are currently unavailable as of now, but if they're on the website, I expect they'll be hitting stores soon :D

Here's the link (Beast Hunters towards the bottom of the page) :

http://www.tesco.com/direct/search-resu ... 4294967294

Also Hilariously the Ultimate Optimus Prime's specifications read as such:

With three ways to play, Puppy’s Crawl-Along Ball has activities and learning fun for multiple stages in baby’s development: tummy-time, sitting, and crawling. For the youngest baby, the large mirror on the front encourages self-exploration during tummy-time play. The sitting baby can bat-at the adorable Puppy character to unlock fun sing-along songs, while developing fine motor skills. When baby is ready to give chase, he will delight in activating exciting sounds, tunes & phrases by rolling Puppy across the floor, encouraging him to crawl after the ball again and again!

With 25+ sing-along songs, tunes & phrases, baby will love to play with Puppy’s Crawl-Along Ball!


Hahaha! Think they're still sorting it all out since its fresh. But if the prices remain correct the ultimate toys will be priced at £49.97 at least at Tesco.

Neat!
And Voyager prime appears to be having an identity crisis too:
The Laugh & Learn Learning Wallet is baby’s very own wallet that comes complete with hands-on activities, sing-along songs, and learning fun!
Baby will be delighted by adorable phrases and music as he opens and closes the wallet or presses the coin buttons inside.
Baby can press the credit card for a fun pop-up action and to learn about opposites, greetings and first words! With four song songs and lots of learning content, baby will love cashing in on all of the fun with his very own learning wallet!

those things sound better than some of what we've seen in the TFPrime line so far.

hey, at least they're not Bumblebee repaints.
