Just back from Smiths toy shop in bray where i was happy to see the classics finally on the shelves.

Unfortunatly they were damn near cleared out, so all that was left was the deluxe megatron(which i have had for ages, sigh) but undoubtably if one smiths has em so do the rest.

Irish Tf rejoyce, the classics are finally here!

(so are the new series of starwars toys (the sorta moder potf) obviously hasbro sent out a large order resently!)

Thanks for the heads up Grimsqueaker, this has been Newsified.

You said you already had Voyager Megatron (for ages)? Did you get him from a online retailer?

Nah, i got him from a comic shop (im friendly with the owner-he's promised me a mp meg) i had to pay an extra E5 so it was E35 rather than E29.99, so i efinatly think i got a good deal on him.

Screw u Steven! Trust u to make it sound, sordid!

Just because the old guy likes me to wash his car on the weekends only wearing a pair of tight daisy duke cutoffs does not mean anything!

I got Classics Prime and Megatron yesterday in Smiths in Waterford.

Argos has them listed in the catalogue (pics of Jetfire and Hot Rod) but haven't checked the shop itself yet.

Got Starscream and Astrotrain in a comic shop in Dublin last week.

Would love to get Ramjet and Skywarp though I was disappointed with Starscream. Love Megatron, Astrotrain and Prime though.

Yeah but the problem with Argos is that they don't actually seem to have any of the new items in stock! Was this comic shop you speak of Forbidden planet? that's where I got my Grimlock

No behind FP, if you cross the square with the double AIB bank machines and take the top right hand corner, following the cobbled pathway around to the right, you will see a corner shop that sells old comics and these days, toys.

Or to put it another way if you're familiar with the 'Third Place', another comic shop, it's on the end of that street.

How much did you pay for Grimlock? Got Astrotrain and Starscream for 25euro each. Also had Mirage and Bumblebee. Got Titanium Soundwave for 35 euros.

Been in FP a few times since Christmas and haven't seen any Classics there. Curious to see how much they sell Classics for. Do they have any now as I will be going there next week.

BTW, you know they still have one or two reissues above the counter and, up the steps, away from all other TF's, they still had RM Smokesniper.

Thats the crows nest, if ur are nice to the old guy there he'll keep/order in **** 4 u-but he is mad expensive, mine and joes classics only cost us E18 each, ebay is even cheaper than the crows nest (i just got classic jetfire for 35)

But they do have kick ass comics, the just got in most of the DW series!
