Argos exclusive. Urgh. As if UK releases aren't limited enough already, they give them to a company that gets the bare minimum in and then doesn't bother with further waves beyond the first. May as well hide the FOC figures under a random bush for all the difference it would make.
Well the DOTM HA were restricted to Argos and then BB/Roadbuster turned up in The Entertainer for £14.99...
Unfortunately even if that happened this time there appear to be no Entertainer stores here on the East coast. I'm just annoyed that Argos only ever got (as far as I could tell) anything past the first wave of HA Basics. Making what should be wide-release figures into exclusives with a place like Argos just makes buying them a pain. I don't really plan my purchases and I don't much like buying online. I'm more the kind of person that wanders into a store and sees a figure by chance that I might like and then buys it. At least make them exclusive to a store that I don't have to dick about with queuing up and asking for viewings before I leave empty-handed.
Great. I hate buying toys from Argos, you never what ones are actually in stock and it's super-awkward when they bring them to the counter only to find that the one you want isn't there. Happened when I was trying to buy movieverse and Prime toys there, wanted the Vehicon, all they had was Hotshot. Yay. They have a shit-ton of Lego friends toys on display though...
If they really have a UK exclusive, maybe they'll get some FOC toys before any other retailer. Like cases of nothing but FOC Bumblebee.
