That seems to depend on whether or not you guys have Argos stores.

What did they do? drop every company's name in a hat and just draw for each figure until there was nothing left?

Damb I hoping to get the repaint as I already have Robo-Vision Prime and I don't like getting 2 figures that are so similar. What is Argos anyway?

Does that mean they won't be available in the states?

Well it doesn't really say one way or the other.
On the one hand, it could mean it's a UK exclusive, period.
On the other, it could mean it's exclusive to Argos in the UK and no other stores there could carry it.
I guess we'll find out in coming days. I'm going to guess that it's the first one though.

Oh well looks like i wont be getting Nightwatch Prime then. Now i can save the money for something else. Not to upset about the Prime BB one. I already have both those figures. Nice to see the UK getting some stuff. Now all we need if for japan to stop getting so many and every one will be happy.

Just looking at that Voyager optimus prime with free deluxe bumblebee '74... funny how its 7 euros more expensive than the other voyager tfs if bumblebee is supposed to be free... lol.

Um...nowhere on the packaging does it say that Bumblebee is free. This is merely a simple 2-pack. Nothing special about it, other than being exclusive to Argos.
So, you're paying seven more over a Voyager's price. You're still getting Bumblebee at a discount. Most 2-packs do that. Except TRUs...they charge full price for their's.

TRU 2-packs are a rip-offover here. The Blackout and Scorponok 2-pack is £40, but if you were to buy both figures seperately it would only cost £30, so you would be paying £10 for the box. Rip-off or what?

what makes it weirder is it's $25 here in the states for a $20 figure and a $10 figure. Man, now I know why the Disgruntled Brits are so disgruntled...

hmm, unless argos have the wrong pictures, that is not the OP/BB 2-pack, its the wrong BB for a start, i hope im wrong
also, there seems to be 2 prices, the one linked above is £36.99, but this one http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3706002.htm is only £24.99, damn im confused...is this the 2 pack announced earlier or not?
Just have to wait till someone buys it or sees it instore i suppose
