    I've had this thread open for a while now and I just now noticed that the boxart on Hound's box is Acid Storm.

    Anyway, any chance this means we'll start seeing more Leader Primes on eBay?

    To put this another way.

    Spacebridge is a well known UK dealer and is regulary at different conventions/events selling toys. He has nothing to gain by faking a release. He is also one of the few people I have actually met on the board.

    For those that don't know The Entertainer also trades under the name of The Toy Shop in some areas, although as stated previously there are none in Scotland.


    Also for people who wonder why people are getting so heat-up about £25, its because right now that's just over $35. Would you like to pay $35 for a Voyager?

    I don't know how people keep missing this but £23 is the new standard voayger price as of ROTF's launch. The ntertainer have a nasty habit of adding £2 to everything unfortunately.

    Even though this thread is shenanigans, this must be said:

    Is there some reason why Americans get INFURIATED when foreigners very occasionally get things before they do? Not just this thread, but it's been this way for years. I mean, we otherwise get stuff sometime after the United States...

    Evidence and history suggests that you are incorrect. Not counting Japanese releases (which are outside of Hasbro's jurisdiction), generally the United States gets toys before most of Hasbro's other markets.

    April Fools. (Nicely done, too.)

    Not ALL Americans become infuriated when foreigners receive items before we do. I'm one of them. I was pissed in general that we ALL have to wait for the end of May for these figures. There are many Americans who don't give two shits that someone else might get first dibs before we do. We might be envious, but not all of us are infuriated at the thought that someone might get something before us.

    I realize you generally get the shit end of the stick, but seriously...considering this is an AFD thread...you need to get over yourself.
    It was mentioned that this thread was made for the lulz quite a few posts back. Join in with the ha ha and less with the no no.

    Wow. You completely missed the sarcasm in Gadep's post, didn't you? Yeah...

    If so, then I apologise to him for this instance. But really, he's had an axe to grind about Hasbro ever since he registered here, and takes pretty much every chance he gets to slag them off, so honestly, it's difficult to tell when he's not actually slagging them off for some reactionary reason or other.

    People stop complaining about the new prices - in my country Uni voyagers are GBP 26.00 and deluxes are GBP 15.00 already.
    If ROTF toys get even higher than this... it will be good reason to kill my hobby.

    As for those envying EU early release - hell guys, do you realize that we get 99% of toys later than US? That we don't get all toys from the range? That we pay MUCH MUCH more? (still can't forget my movie leader Prime for USD 98.00)
    And the more "east" you go the price grows - how about Animated Shadow Blade Megatron for USD 84.50? (the "latest" TF toy I've seen around here)
