    Because Dreadwing is a great character, that was my reason for wanting him, can't say I'm that fussed about the baby blue twins or the jolly green giant

    Got a set of Micro Changers from Morrisons. Not sure if it's been mentioned on here already, but I recommend using the self-service tills if buying 4 or more!

    In Tesco Wembley I spied that the new Transformers UK comic has a free Kreo Micro Changer on the cover as the free gift, but here's the thing, they're not the same as the ones in shops at the moment.

    There are six on offer, Spinister, Galvatron, Sunstorm, Waspinator, Scorponok and Crankstart. My pack had 23241 7 on the front and was Spinister, so even though the overall number is different, the last digit seems to denote the contents of the pack.

    Also went to their toy aisle and picked up an Autobot Springer from the 'normal' Microchangers. Nothing new on the TF front but they are having a big toy delivery on shelves today, spotted cases of TMNT and other stuff.

    If anyone's near a Travelling Man you might be able to find the preview wave Kre-ons there (The one in Manchester had a few last time I was in there). Tesco in Oldham and Failsworth both have Wave 1, not sure about distribution as I just grabbed myself an Airachnid.

    Well after I scanned 3 and put them in my bag, it wouldn't let me scan a 4th one saying "please put item in your bag". So I put the 4th one in my bag without scanning it and the machine was happy. Ended up with all 12 having only scanned 9. That's not stealing either, cos I only did what the machine told me to!

    I haven't seen the full wave of micro changers yet but I picked up the transformers prime comic this moth as they have a preview wave figure included. the one that ends in 1 is Scorponok (who is quite nice but I ended up swapping out the chest plate with the one from the lego clockwork robot to keep his chest detail.

    Technically it is still stealing, just taking advantage of the machine to do it, tough I have to admit I did the same with sandwiches the other week.

    I swear the thing beeps but then doesn't register.

    A legal grey area, but it serves the supermarkets right for insisting on those horrible self-service tills (especially when they close all the regular check-outs late at night in 24 hour stores).

    Doesn't always work. I used a self check out till to buy a load of them, and after 2 it messed up, and a staff member jumped in before I could do anything and counted up the rest and put them through. Depends on the shop I guess.

    Also, Tesco Watford have the wave 1 kreo microchangers. Grabbed the 1 left I needed, so plenty there (it looked untouched).

    TRU Leeds - Paul, the friendly guy who works on the action figure aisle, just told me that MP10 will be in store in the next week. He said they have just had them I. at the warehouse. I asked him for a price but he didn't know, although guessed at £80.
