Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but my rudimentary search of the forum in a few moments stolen from work can't find it if it has. ;-)
But, I'm a little slow on the uptake, and have just noticed that Argos in the UK has some end-of-catalog Transformers clearance items at the moment. What did take my notice, though, was that the movie leader Prime is only a penny short of fifteen quid. Now I've already got him, but what I was wondering was if anyone knew whether or not Argos have somehow ended up with the premium version of Prime (or whatever the one with the blade-arm was - I've lost track to be honest :-) ). Stranger things have happened... So if anyone has a clue whether I should risk my clearly-not-hard-earned on it, I'd be most grateful. :-)
"This summer the cinema won't be the only place to watch Transformers. Some people will instead choose to download pirated copies so they can actually watch it on time, or actually fly out to the States, rather than have their movie-going experience ruined by the one distribution executive who f***ed up his critical decision-making faculties by snorting coke in the toilets..."

I might just see if they have a Leader Megs kicking about mine. I saw the Voyager Prime and '08 CamaroBee set for £15 too.
Ask for a viewing and you can check for a sword on the Leader yourself.  |

Does this cover Nightwatch Prime too? |
