Hey dude, it won't let me PM you (probably because we are both kinda n00bs.

Anyway, I popped over to Morrisons again this morning and did a raid on the Kreons. I got a few I was missing off of my spare set and picked up a bunch for you. If you are still interested I now have 10 / 12 of Series 1 on offer. They are: Rempage, Quick Slinger, Springer, Insecticon, Warpath, Inferno, Dirge, Singe, Blast Off and Hook. Only missing Bludgeon and Airachnid (They definitely don't have them at my Morrisons). I used the codes on the packets to make sure I was getting the correct ones.

Let me know if you're still interested! :grin:

Anyone else wanting Kreons, Morrissons has been a really good place in my experience, I have picked up all of Series 1 and 2 there and they keep a pretty good stock.


That's awesome. I'm pretty much finished with series 2, picked up 3 more (hardshell, perceptor & vehicon) this weekend, and I won Arcee on ebay. I have bids on Scourge and Hoist at the moment.

As for series 1, I won six packs on ebay just this weekend so I'll need to wait until they arrive to let you know which ones I need. Fingers crossed I manage to get Airachnid and Bludgeon. Definitely still interested in buying these from you.

Woo Hoo! found a Motorvators Gripper at a boot sale today for £1.


It's a cool toy! I had him as a kid and he's sitting in my loft somewhere in terrible condition. I don't recall him having had stellar ground clearance and his chestplate is all scratched up. Missing his sword and probably some of the tires. I was a horrible child.

I was very lucky to get mine.

I appears we are getting Australian over stock, all the current batches being put out in the Toys R Us's have distributed in Australia details on the bottom of them.

Keep an eye out, they are trickling down again, which also explains why so many are appearing on eBay now. Will keep an eye out for any more.

On the whole Australia thing-I collected earlier a cyberverse Evac that Nova managed to grab for me when he was on holiday in America, and that says distributed in australia on it...

I got a Skyquake from the first batch to appear earlier in the year, luckily, a friend snapped one up for me.
I'm not so sure about the Aussie overstock idea, most figures we get have Australian details on them as well as US details. BUT, if you look, somewhere on the box will be a sticker showing that they've come from a distributor based in Manchester, who are clearly not Hasbro UK.
And therefore must be a far superior company.

Really got no need of another Prime. If it's in in sufficient quantities to hit the website it should be in stores as well. Will bag any Skyquakes in the Ripon branch on Saturday, that is a figure that'll make for good ebay/trading fodder. I've been getting a bit addcted to selling on ebay since I started offloading my comics.

I know the feeling, I sold some legends figures I got in a small lot the other day for more than I paid for them. It ended up that I basically got the one figure in the box I wanted (Cybertron Galvatron :CON: ) for free.

Yeah, Prime's going on eBay as soon as he arrives. :D

I've been checking locally for a SQ for a while and found nothing. I wasn't going to take the risk, he was extremely short packed and I figure I've probably save a bit on petrol this way to. He actually completes my PRiD collection to.

Shockingly, it hadn't been mentioned! Zooming to home and bargain now to investigate.

@Oddimus Prime: my kreons arrived today. I wasn't lucky enough to grab an airachnid or bludgeon; or even 6 unique figs. I got insecticon, singe, quickslinger, springer and rampage, can you put the others on hold for me until I get paid?

get me the 2 pack online. I guess any extras i find in stores are gonna just allow me to actually remove one from box or will be ebay, trade fodder.

I think its 50 :)
So I completely forgot to comment on my recent trip to the US, where I managed to get to universal and go on the TF Ride. Its very enjoyable, just a little too short :P I picked up deluxe evac of course, and a legion evac for AP, but no other figures. I saw FOC shockwave, screamer, impactor and twin twist in a comic store, but I couldn't afford them so bought myself the FOC comic instead.
Now the hunt for Skyquake begins! He will be my final RID figure, and I need it like now. Also bh Prowl is very high on my wishlist after looking at Ryans gallery

Man, I didn't even get the email, goddamn junk filter! Nice to see it was limit 2 per customer though.

Have the Kre-O microchanger combiners been out here yet at all? Don't seem to be able to find them except amazon, ebay and kapow. Having trouble locating the barricade cycle chase set without having to import too, fairly sure that one got overgrazed for being a troop building kit.
