UK findings and buying thread

Really? where from?

Toys R Us.

oh yeah

tempting

I didn't know we were getting him until I saw him on the shelf, he is pretty fecking awesome.

I wasn't expecting it either. That probably means we'll get Rodimus as well next year. I'd like them to release Starscream and Megatron again.

Are you gonna open him?

I hope we get Rodimus, he looks fantastic, but I'm thinking the price might affect our chances of getting him.

He was opened & transformed as soon as I got back

He does. Do you know what the deal is the trailer? I was thinking it would be like the OP one, where I think they released a second version that came with it.



I bet you didnt even take your coats off first.

Yeah coats

I think it's all just the one release.

I didn't my coats all 7 of them stayed on until he was in robot mode wearing his crown & I checked his light up weapons.

I didn't realise that he had his crown. That's a nice touch.

I've only got two MPs, skywarp and OP. How about you?

Just OP & Grimlock. His crown doesn't stay on that well, but it is a nice touch. My happy 4th Dr's wearing it at the moment

That's what blu tac is for. I wish I got around to selling my extra stuff off now, I could have bought grimlock and a palm tree that I'm after.

Blu tac on a vac-metalized crown.

You could always sell body parts

Congrats on getting Grimlock! Over here each TRU only got one shipment.
I know the US release of Rodimus won't include the trailer, so I went ahead & ordered the import version.
I'll probably get the other one anyway, just to keep in the package.

Yeah or the white one.

My body parts won't be worth anything, they took far too much abuse when I was younger

I need to go to TRU for baby stuff, so I'll have a look for it. That'll be the first time I've been to a TRU in about a year.

How much is Grimlock in the US Gol?

The white stuff is just as bad.

No trailer is a deal breaker

I did that as well.

If I do end up getting Rodimus, I'd be happy without the trailer. My other Rodimusses (plural?) don't have trailers. Which reminds me, my classic deluxe went walkies at the same time I got the robotech version.

Do you mean Revoltech version? None of mine do either & it would be nice to have one that did come with a trailer.

Picked up a couple more SDCC Mouser packs £1.99 each.

That's it, I dunno where I got that from. I've got the Starscream one as well.

Yeah it would. Who do you reckon should get the MP treatment next?

I've got the revoltech versions of Rodimus, Starscream, Optimus & Megs, if I remember correctly I got them all from Memorabilia.

I'd quite like Swoop, Galvatron or maybe Arcee.

You bitch. I thought I was the only one who had them

There's no need to get arcee

I'd like them to do Jazz or Jetfire

The only one I didn't bother with was Ultra Magnus who suffered from the same problem all contempory Magnus's do erectile dysfunction... I mean the lack of an armoured mode.

I'll get Arcee if I want

Jazz would be good.

Ultra magnus is what the factory make when they run out of red paint on the Optimus prodution line. He's not a real character.

Do you morph in to anything?

Jazz is the sex.

I can morph into a sybian... honest guv'na

Jazz is the autobot equivilent of Shaft.

And now I know what one is. I thought it was a breed of hamster.

I'm such a corrupting influence
