It would be a shame if you bought them toys at a UK retail store to find the same accessories are missing and having to get a cash refund...

Yay, I just found a Desert Attack Brawl in the UK for retail price! (as opposed to the "Just try and stop us batch" Price we've had so far)

Guess who doesn't get paid for another week though.
-_-


In other news, Classics Ramjet has reached an all time "Taking the piss" Price of £35 on Amazon, and Ebay is taking the piss with P&P often higher than the guy himself.
Scalpers piss me right off.

At least the retailers can return them to Hasbro as faulty. You know, the Hasbro that is charging you twice as much as the rest of the world. For half the selection.

You say "maze" I say "corridor"...

While I think to ask:

In a few day's time, Collectormania once again rears its head in Milton Keynes; is anyone here going to be there on the first day (Friday) ? Was asking this, as I shall be in attendance and will be on the look-out for any TFs I can lay my hands on; if there is more than one of us going there at the same time, then we can search through the place a lot quicker..

Most random and exhilerating find ive ever had at a car boot sale, came across a stall at G&M Growers near Sandy in Bedfordshire this morning that runs a small online store, long story short this morning picked up a MISB Music Label SoundBllaster for £45 biggrintf.gif great lil guy, wasnt too tempted at the usual prices in the UK but for 45 couldnt pass it up tounge1.gif anyway for those that never found decent prices on this lil guy the website he runs is www.kamikaz.co.uk , the others he has are up for sale at 56 each on the website, and he has Revoltech Megs for 15 as well, no idea how good his shipping is so dont blame me if the site isnt amazing. tounge1.gif
Socaddict
Got one of each of the revoltech transformers figures (except magnus), and these are some sweet figures. However, I had also ordered a macross super valkyrie figure to repaint as G1 jetfire/skyfire, and that wasnt in the package. We sghall see what the seller has to say...

I've decided to buy each of the five original Autobots from Animated (that is, Primes crew)
Got Prime (Cybertron) Bumblebee and Prowl at TRU on Saturday, have Ratchet in the mail, and I'm waiting to be paid so I can buy Bulkhead.

Luvvers to Prowl <3


Not that impressed with Bumblebee for some reason though.

MARVEL LEGENDS Series 8 STORM.


Iron Man movie IronMonger with Opening Cockpit... COOL AS HELL... Err yea I do have things planned for the inside of the cockpit and I will be adding other glowing points on him in a similar vein as the Iron Man repulsors I did. I will add a green-blue glow to the holows on his hands. Kinda like a stronger Repulsor. Ah fargit I will post images Later, as I have done MINOR touches on my Legends Ironman too.


Variant Marvel Legends Captain America series 8 The one with the Pilots mask look to his cowel and the white wings on the sides of the head.
http://marvellegends.net/MarvelLegends/ML08/
Dont realy like the charachtor but for £3 when you have seen variant CA online for £35-40 you just have to have him stood on a shelf. I do like the fact the sheild has a handle to attach it to the arm and he also has elastic to mount it on his back. The stand I am IMPRESSED with as it can allow some great poses what with their 42 points of articulation and the 4ish on the clear peg.

Marvel Legends Wasp Yellow and black short hair version
and two Tekma (think B-Daman marbleshooters) They shoot the GLASS MARBLES over 3 meters at high speed. I would be kinda afraid of playing with another player (Oh and not bad for 19p or $38US).



Transformers Animated BlackArachnia:- Didnt realise just how ODD she is, from quite terrifying spider to sexxy girly! Cool as hell..

IronMan is cool as hell. I didnt realise you could actually die in it... OOPS...

That Battlefield is just cool. I cant enjoy the game I'm too stunned by the graphics, FREEFALLL666 STOP LOOKING AT THE BLOODY GRASS BLOWING IN THE WIND AND CONCENTRATE ON THE ROCKET LAUNCHER GUY SHOOTING AT YOU.... Pretty grass.... BANG laughlol.gif

I got the entire Pitt Comic Book Legends build a figure set, and LEADER MEGATRON ANIMATED... God damned pit is huge. Megs just rocks.

got soul caliber IV for the 360 today very cool I have to recommend it

Got an extra controll pad (Wireless) and my ma got Sonic for the PS3. Hardcore gamers like me shouldnt play games with those who dont know Left or Right and only pick up a control pad once every 3 months...

Got LEADER BULKHEAD.. Im torn between Megs and BH as to who is the best...

Got Smash Brothers Brawl, and am enjoying the single player mode, and finally got my hands on a decently priced G1 prime in decent condition. Yes, it has sticker wear, yes it has chrome wear, but the only thing missing was teh scanner dish, everything else was present and correct, including the foam insert for the box, and most of the box (although that was alittle battered).

Got an alternators rodiums on its way to me atm, set me back about £25...

be careful with alt Rodimus' doors. the plastic that held the pin in on mine recently broke so i had to fix it.

i got a PAL version of smash bros brawl cos nintendo's ghey update rendered my freeloader useless and three classics, one prowl and 2 sunstreakers the second of which is ready fr repainting into wheeljack.
Socaddict
I must say, rodimus is a rather nice figure, all told.

I'm rather pleased with him, especially for the price I got him for compared to what I would have normally ended up paying for either him or mirage.

Fun, interesting transformation, cool looking in both modes, and makes a good second to my alternators or MP optimi.

voyager prime is awesome. About as tall as movie voyager, but with more bulk to him, which feels better. And I the two pack prime's axe as well, so its all groooooooooovey biggrintf.gif

BT streak and jazz, teh sex-ay I must say, its good to have the diecast back in town again, also got 25th Duke with Rocket pack and 2 pack Xamot and Tomax ah the memories, now I just need a USS Flagg.

Got universe Galvatron & Acid storm from ebay (cheaper than u.k.).
Acid storm is pretty cool but Galvatron is pretty piss poor.

got universe Onslaught, Not really fond of Transformers at that size, they lack the fun of the smaller ones I've found and they need more articulation than they're given to be impressive, I think the universe Ultras should have been done at the voyager size, they would have been so much better then.

so I bought animated Lockdown who is at the moment one of the most fun one's I've got. Plus he looks badass.

Yep cant argue with that,Onslaught is just wierd IMO he reminds me of an Armarda figure.
I'm actualy enjoying the Animated toys more than Universe at the moment.

I agree -- I got a bunch of new universe/ classics recently, and as an after- thought also picked up Voyager Animated Prime. Fell in love with it and couldn't resist going out to get a few more animated figs.

I've been struggling to resist blowing my budget now to grab all of the Wave 3 deluxes by taking advantage of the TRU 3 for 2 offer. I suppose it's on until mid-October so major rush...

I'm guessing that most would agree that the Wave 3 favourites are - 1) Jazz, 2) Soundwave, 3) Snarl and then 4) Oil Slick?

Personaly i wasnt too impresed with Soundwave,i'd have to go with 1)jazz 2)Oil slick 3)Snarl & 4) Soundwave.
I was suprised how much i liked oil slick,the bike mode is very cool.
Talkie Toaster
Oil slicks the only one i don't have, I'd get him and cybertron Optimus but there's no other deluxe on the shelves in Lincoln that I don't have, if Ratchet was out though it would be a different matter entirely
Blitz
I just have Sound wave and I'm happy with the little guy I was let down with laser beak I thought the wings would look nicer. as for the others well Wave 3 seems like a good wave all around so I guess when TRU restock I will just get the other 3 all at once

Jazz is definately cool, don't have oilslick trying to save money

bought bottom live 3 and 4 on dvd yesterday, bloody broke one of the discs getting it out of the sodding box though, returning that!
Socaddict
picked up activators bumblebee, voayger blitzwing, and soudawve, oil slick and jazz recently.

All rather tasty figures. I now want all of the activators, as yes, they're gimmicky, but its a great, fun gimmick. I decided to skip on snarl, as I figured I'd get him once the other dinobots are available, as I haven't managed to see any of them yet.

Soundwave is small, but awesome, and sod lasserbeak, the guitar mode is where hes staying...

Oil Slick is quite cool, and will look good posed with lockdown IMO.

Jazz just plain rocks, but I think alot of us knew that already.

Blitzwing is where I am most torn. His two vehicle modes are both kinda bleh to me in many ways, at least so far. But hes still a lovely figure in robot mode, and looks great beside megatron. I must say, the two animated voyagers i have so far (prime and blitzwing), both of them are figures, posable, with nicely stiff joints mostly. That was my main problem with alot of the movie line, they just didn't feel solid enough, wheres most of the animated figures feel very solid.
Talkie Toaster
Figure I might get Grimlock later, I keep hearing good things about him apart from his robot mode head visable in dino mode.

I got bottom live 3+4 on dvd and broke 3 getting it out of the box skeletor.png skeletor.png skeletor.png
Talkie Toaster
got animated Grimlock and have spent the past half hour doing the arm mod to him so they fit in properly. really simple to do and does a lot for him. Also worth noting is that if you take his head apart and remove the lower jaw his head looks exactly like his G1 self but with a massive screw hole in his chin obviously.
Blitz
got Jazz, OilSlick and snarl

I'm really liking all 3 but Oil slick seems to be the one a play with more then the others

Grabbed the Universe Galvatron from Toys R Us and a lot nicer than i thought he would be, on a slightly random note i had a great find at a car boot sale last weekend, got me Transmetal2 Tigerhawk, Blackarachnia, Iguanus, BM Megs ( Dragon cant remember what that size was called at that point ) BM Cheetor, same size as Megs, 2 parts to the Construction combiner from RiD with the Stormjet repaint, 2 or 3 Armada deluxes, the micron combiner guys, and an Energon Inferno all carded or boxed and sealed and the lot for less than 20 quid smiletf.gif never had a find like it, unfortunately mostly duplicates but Tigerhawk and Blackarachnia are both great so having boxed ones is a bonus smiletf.gif

Rock band for the WII (don't have a 360 or ps3, if i did i would get it for them for downloadable cntent)

I have blisters on my hands for playing the drums but it was worth it to unlock the last and final song: Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld
UncleJoe420
Nabbed Animated, Soundwave, Snarl and Oil Slick earlier from TRU, as well as Universe Sunstreaker - no sign of Galvy or Acid Storm, which was a pisser. If only I could drive, then i'd check out TRU Luton to see if they got any of them.

Did spot some of the new marvel Corssovers in London yesterday - Green Hulk n Spidey in Hamleys, then Wolverine, Grey Hulk and Human Torch in FP. Once I get Universe Galvatron, then I might nab the 2 Hulks to use as tank drones..

<3 my better half. For our anniversary shes gotten me universe powerglide and galvatron. I rather like both figures, and i really can't see what all teh fuss about galvy was, other than he does feel like he should be a little bigger, but damn is that light piping neat and mean looking.

Orange light piping as a whole does seem to work far better than blue at the moment (can't comment on red as i haven't had any figures that have had it recently..

I bought myself universe powerglide with intent to repaint.

with the eyes painted blue it's already an improvement, He does need to be red though, atm helooks like hot house to me.
