    Yeah, he is in the same wave, but that wave is a TrU exclusive and I don't recall anyone else posting that they'd seen PS Prime in stores. There was also a regular Prime there; same mould but the more familiar red and blue rather than this white and blue version.

    I hadn't noticed until you said it, but yeah, he really is!

    Edit: Bloody buggering hell! Just opened my Starscream and his legs are wobbly as all get-out! Anyone else's Screamer like this? Lincoln only had two yesterday (one after the one I bought) so not sure if I should bother taking him back?

    I didn't buy 'em cos I was after vodka innit, but fill yer boots. It's flip change fury!

    Anyone got the skinny on the current stock in Orbital and Forbidden Planet? I'll be in The Smoke tomorrow and thought I'd pop in having dodged shelling out on TR Soundwave and the reduced CW Skywarp today.

    Hucknall Tesco also have the RID one-step box set in.

    Also informed that Newark Asda also has the cardboard RID display. Yes folks, hell has officially frozen over - NEWARK ASDA HAS TFs!

    Picked up a mp sunstorm at the weekend thanks to we_are_forest. Saw some of the titans stuff, they look good but I find the hollow forearms and legs too distracting. I understand it aids the transformation and keeps, already ridiculous, costs down but I think it really hurts the aesthetic. Now I just need a legal way to make spending money for mp's and 3rd parties.

    Smyths Oldham have TR Wv 2 Voyager and Leader, Wv 1 Deluxes, along with the Windblade wave of RiD and the new Rescue Bots (Morbot and Quickshadow)

    Asda Living at the other end of the park have reduced RID figures, didn't pay much attention to which as I'm hunting for Titan Masters.

    My local (Colchester) ASDA have chucked, and I really, really mean chucked, all their RID Mini-Cons into the sale area (some on the racking, some on the shelf end opposite).
    They are priced at 4-30, which is what they ring up at, still not great for a toy that big, considering they have the legends at 30p more (but they don’t come with so many eminently lose-able armour pieces, do they)?
    They was a sea of Dragonus, umm, the purple lemon-wedge shaped one and Kickback (or whatever the Autobot wolf is called, I am so rubbish).
    I picked up what might have been the only Back, Hammer, and Swelter, as I hadn’t seen them before (although my experience of the ball-ones is that they are ropey to say the least)
    Other lines are still reduced, and only slightly less messy.

    Geez, Forbidden Planet is not what it used to be for TFs. Old CW and TR figures, way behind TRU and Smyths.

    In other news the new Warrior class Ratchet and Bisk have to be out soon right? Theoretically should be this week in fact.
