$55 CAD ($50 US) for that. UK stores are on crack for what they charge. Honestly. No wonder UK fans buy their stuff from HK sellers. Even with P/P it is cheaper than buying UK retail.

Just reserved mine, will pick up tonight. Yay!

I was expecting a price of £99 for Devastator. Hmmmmm.

Do they have Demolisher & HA Bumblebee at Tesco? If so how much?

They dont have them at my local Tesco, only Unverse Deluxe's. It is only a small superstore though. There is a larger one not too far away.

Ok so I now have HA Bumblebee bought from Argos just 2 hours ago.

Apart from his head popping off, the chest section returning to its normal (car) configuration every time I move or pick up the figure and the drivers door not closing properly from the box its a pretty decent figure.

It does sit very well with the Alternators. Im not sure I like the Human figures. Considering the price that the Alternator range was in the UK I think these are priced fairly.

Well worth a trip to Argos IMHO.

Just got back from Toys R Us in Northampton and they have a few in stock (strangely none in the merhussive display at the front, they're all hidden away in the usual aisle for Transformers)

I did think about buying one but I can't justify £30 on something the same size but much simpler than a £20 Alternator.

I need to know when these are hitting the shelves in the US! And will someone put a review up on YouTube in the meantime already? (Forgive me if someone finally posted one today, I can't access YouTube from where I am now...)

They dont have any HA set yet, but the voyagers that have appeared are Demolisher (cool fig), Ironhide and that nasty prime with gold chest, they retail around £23.00 enabi;ling you to get some few pennies back as change, but you might be able to pick some movies up with the transformers clearence mix up thing.

Amazing I find it that I just picked up ramage the other day, while youtube and seibertron have just recently posted him, even though have been posted for a while, but jeez come on people im in the UK? america supposed to get this stuff months before.

I've had mine open for about 20 mins and I'm in love. Yes, the head can come off easily and the chest panels are spring loaded to return to car mode but the doors shut just fine - if you take care to fold the window in.

Simpler? No way! It's well worth the extra money and beats any alternator hands down.

Very quick review:
Car mode: B E A Utiful
transformation: complex without being insane.
Bot mode: very accurate, better than ANY version released before. Nice detailing. For those of you who love repainting figures, this one won't need much - the paints apps are really good.
Articulation: sweet. Better than any alternator by far. The hand! OMG the hand can do so much. I shall attempt this one day! Double knee, rotating thighs, upper arms AND WAIST! :shock: :D Can also shrug his shoulders. Joints are stiff enough without being a pain.

Gripes:
People have complained that the seats don't fold but that's cos they represent the big arm things he has.
It's a shame he only has one hand but as the cannon folds away in car mode a right hand could be made and slotted in where the missile goes.
Knee spikes don't fix in place in any way.

Okay, enough typing. Time to try transforming him back into car mode.
