I want money while TRU Nottingham still have them! I've got Soundwave, but I certainly wouldn't object to the Soundblaster mould, I've never had a laserbeak, and my beloved Ravage got nicked when I was a kid. I want bad...

I didn't half get a surprise when I showed up to work in TRU in Glasgow today and found two boxes of these in the action figures aisle! Nice to see them at last.

I saw this in bulk for one weekend in one store here in The States.

I could only afford 1, but I realy wanted 2.

I have a G1 open though, so he's still in the box.

But I wanna ask anyone else who got him, all the ones I saw had him in alt mode, but backwards in the box? Did this happen all over?

I won't break the tape seal on this just incase this was a messed up shipment.

$56 CAD before taxes vs $40 retail at TRU in CANADA. It is a little overpriced but it is the UK after all.

He also comes with two clear plastic cases to store the cassettes in. Good luck to all you on finding one.

got mine today :grin:

Dundee TRU did have maybe 10 or 12 of them, but hidden behind Cybertron Menasor on the shelf. Robots in Disguise indeed.
Cool box he comes in, with the pop-up centre.
Not sure if it's news or not, but they also had the Movie Anniversary MP Prime with the speaking base.

Posted by craggy on August 10th, 2007 @ 9:18am CDT

not surprised the £60 (or is it maybe even £70) Prime isn't selling, when they still have a bunch of the earlier release which is nicer packaged and looks less cheap IMO (even if it does have "battle damage") sitting along the shelves a bit for £10 or £20 less.

Why not?

Lets see everything costs a fortune, chavs, then theres the issue of living areas, most of which are pissholes, at least in my area. Then theres NOTHING to ever do, we never have any big conventions, nothing cool ever happens either. Its just a boring, sucky country. If i had my way id live in america again.
