    Does anyone know what a MiSB Energon Shockwave is worth these days? I just found one, and I kind of like him but I dont have a lot of room in the clearout. Not sure if he is worth selling.

    I also have (loose):
    - DotM Leader Sentinel Prime
    - Classics Stormclour
    - RotF Whirl
    - Armada Blurr
    - Armada Airazor
    - RotF Payload

    Its another wave of clearouts. *sigh* Plus, I hate eBay. Got my first negative feedback because the buyer didnt look at the picture and didnt even tell me he was unhappy so I couldnt fix it. Arse.

    Been feeling like crap the last couple of days, so decided on a trip to TRU. I'd decided I was going to pick up the entire FoC Bruticus. Unfortunately, they only had Vortex, though my local TRU seems to have Generations Deluxes for £9.49. I decided to pick up two of them, as I'm going to customise one into Spinister. I actually quite like him, yes there are some sacrifices made, but for just under a tenner I'm happy, just wish I could have picked up the rest for the same.

    Actually, I think that they said that they were already at TRU and would be on shelves in November 2012.

    Hasbro replied to a question on Facebook saying the stock is in their warehouse, its up to TRU when they want it. This was on the 7th of January, which leaves me to think that they've mislead us about TRU already having the stock.

    Totally. I don't bother with a thread if it's just got one of those dumb teaser images in it. I want at least a CAD drawing, if not a prototype of some kind. Thank feck TFC stopped making an arse of themselves by posting 1/8th of a photo as a teaser and not posting the whole image for another week or so. None of that teasing crap with Blackbird, just good wholesome galleries.


    Yeah my thoughts exactly. The eyes are impressive, but the heads themselves all need replacing. Hope someone gets around to that soon!

    Yeah I dunno why no company did heads for the Hercules bots, besides the big guy himself. There was one radicon chap who did some pretty nice looking ones, but I don't know how far he got?

    My apologies, Im not quite up to speed on the voyager /leader class size thing... - he was in alt mode, priced about £15.

    Those classic turtles are cool. Back in the day the only figure I didnt have was Krang, I searched everywhere and couldnt find him. I remember walking into a little independant toy store by where I lived and gettin be-bop and rocksteady... weren't much pocket money left for tip - tops after that :)  aah those were the days

    Ahhh, the optimus prime I never touched with a barge pole. I always thought he looked a bit poo, but some people say he's good.

    I'm in Bolivia right now and I'm in shock. On the shelves in one place I found:

    Universe: Ultra Onslaught and Powerglide, Voyager Blades, Blaster, Mixmaster and Dropshot
    Animated: Supreme Roll Out (or whatever he was called) Optimus Prime, Voyager Bulkhead and Megatron
    Transformers Prime: Bumblebee
    Transformers Prime First Edition: BB, Arcee and Starscream

    Might get an FE or two, given that they are priced at less than a tenner!

    He is mostly hated, but honestly he is my favourite version of Movie Prime produced. The backpack is a little extreme, but not too bad, and the guns can be mounted on it. Transformation is great, and intuitive and he has a little driver that disappears during the transformation sequence, which is really, really cool.

    Isnt it depressing that Bolivia has a better TF selection than we do right now? I echo the love for FE Bee, and also Arcee.

    Holy cheese man! Brooticus is right, FE Bumblebee is a really good figure.

    Sorry I'm late, welcome to the boards Brum Bot!

    Seeing that BH Voyager Prime, it looks so awesome, much better than RiD Prime I should say. Is it confirmed we're getting the Generations Voyagers over here? I seem to remember HUK saying we're getting Grimlock in March..
