Now it's getting annoying. Just got back from paying my bills and buying some food and since I couldn't think of any meals I fancied, I decided to have a look for any TF's at a cheap price and in the two places that sell them in my area, I found just one TF, a Beast Wars repaint for the unfinished Armada line-Terrorsaur. I hate the Beast Wars toys, but I really wanted to give the collection another small boost, the last ones I got were two weeks ago with G1 Jazz, Armada Galvatron, RID Dreadwind and Smokejumper and Energon Hot Shot and Inferno. So I've got him now, he's not bad, I'll always prefer vehicles over beasts, but it's annoying just how limited the TF stocks are here in the UK and Europe. I can't even find a Starscream reissue and I'm really wanting to add him to the collection. So that's now 89 TF's and 67 mini cons in the collection, I hope I can make MP Prime the 100th TF and not a Beast Wars repaint, just 11 more to go. Anyone else in the UK and Europe having troubles finding and getting new TF's? If Hasbro UK are reading these boards and they come across this, then please make a better deal with Hasbro US and get some more TF's out here, please!

not much in retford and doncaster surrounding area im afraid, woolworths has seemingly stopped selling tfs til they shift the stock of the armada roleplay sword things, toymaster has an assortment of 1st wave energon and toys r us have still got the armada cheap things and same old rerelease g1s, argos is the only place that more energon seems to be at and has always been the only place to stock altenators, but at least i got silver streak, 2 word "customer view"

Couldn't agree more, the UK sucks for buying TKs from shops. Bad enough we don't even get entire lines, (ie:- half of RID and missing the last couple of waves of armada) but every shop that actually sells them has the same few in stock. Thankfully there's a Forbidden Planet store and a comic store named A1 near me that get a lot of imports. And thank god for ebay.

Hey everyone!

Mainstream shops like woolworths are terrible for transformers, after nearly a year of Supercon Prime and Blurr warming shelves, there suddenly replaced with a bunch of BW repaints and the occasional Towline. At least there only £5, and there must be some interest as only the roleplay swords are left near me. Maybe hasbro will notice.

And it was nice to see Prime down to £10 too, he's still £37 every where else.

Most of the individual toy shops that I visit have a good stock of Transformers; many armada toys not seen EVER in Woolworths, and a whole bunch of Energon stuff, some of which you can't even find in Argos. But still, we are getting a raw deal, but at least we got Omega Supreme not TOO long after he came out in America. Normally big toys like that come out about a year after the line starts in this country (eg RiD Optimus).

Oh and the TRU near me still has loads of Commerative series figs like starscream, jazz, hotrod and Powermaster Prime. I read somewhere someone was having a hard time finding starscream near them?

where is this tru doncaster only has powermaster op and jazz?

welcome to TFans zorkisky woolworths and everyone need to stop trying to sell rolplay swords from armada cos no one want them!

I read somewhere someone was having a hard time finding starscream near them?

 

Aye, that was me, Starscream was never released here in my area and Ultra Magus had a shelf life of a fortnight before he disappeared completely in my area. I'm looking for those two badly because I would love to finally add them to the collection, wanted to get them since the 80s. Whenever I go on a TF hunt, that's the first two I look for, when I can't find them, I go looking for Armada Jetfire and Overload, again no luck with those two either. I'm two short of the Armada moulds to get the full line, minus the repaints. I'll probably have better luck finding TF's in the US when I move there in a few years time.

Yeah Woolworths is crap! The Entertainer has Armada Jetfire for £10 if you are interesated and have one in your area.

 

In Coventry there are a few good shops like Toys R Us and The Entertainer have some good stuff but never have full lines oif toys.

 

Im not willing to fork out twice as much cash in FP as they overcharge!

I've very interested in Armada Jetfire, I live near Aberdeen in the Grampian region of Scotland, I've not seen an Entertainer shop around here and I'm always looking for new shops that sell any TF's, so far no luck at all. My TF hunts are limited to Fraserburgh and Aberdeen, not the best of places to find anything.

TThe Entertainer is a good place for TF they have a crazy repaint of Armada Prime its weird with a gold Sparkplug.

 

They dont have a website unfortunatley. Toys r us have a few jetfires left on the site but it was very low stock though.

 

Big W had a good range until recently but thats coz it is woolworths i think. Other than that its Ebay which suxs cox i don't trust Ebay

I think you guys are lucky. You guys have Unicron, you guys are getting more Alts. you guys are getting OS, you guys have have the Reissues, you guys have the TRU exclusives. We don't :redface :tfmad

 

So Hasbro US, there is this big place called 'Europe' and over there are Transfans too, so why don't you send ALL the Tf's over here :wave

 

BTW do you guys in the UK have Universe..??
