Any idea if they'll be running any offers on TFs yet? They ran cut prices, BOGOF, etc on most of the toylines that came out this year.

That's what HTSUK was selling them from. Have to say, I do find it a bit galling that the obviously kid-oriented TFA line hasn't had the same increase. I try not to be paranoid, but that does begin to seem like Hasbro saying "Hmm, we need to make some more money somewhere. Don't want to upset the kids, so we'll let the collectors take up the slack."

(Or to put it rather more bluntly: Dear Hasbro U.K, go F*ck yourselves.) | |

(Or to put it rather more bluntly: Dear Hasbro U.K, go F*ck yourselves.) | And yet there's no price rise on Animated Deluxes. Can provide a compelling reason?

And I wish Argos would stop just doing one code for Ultras, one for Voyagers, etc. By their own admission, their are five Universe Ultras. Why not have individual numbers so I can order what I actually want?

Ultras for £30 - Nobody would buy them, Megas for £25 - Nobody would buy them but people would still buy Deluxes at that price because they are still cheaper than Megas and Ultras | |
