| Posted on 07-03-2008 at 04:00 PM by Sol Fury | | More good news for our UK readers! 2005 Boards member ninety reports finding the Transformers Animated Leader Class Megatron and the Roll Out & Command Optimus Prime at a Toys R Us in Aberdeen! Furthermore, 2005 Boards member Locustreign, who provided us with the receipt pic accompanying this story, has also found Megatron along with the other member of the Animated Leader Class, Bulkhead! Happy hunting everyone!

Popped into my local TRU here in Aberdeen hoping to find a SS, found the only one they had (my apologies to whoever had hidden it, but I've been very keen to get him), then noticed some unopened stock boxes in the aisle. Leader Megs and Prime! That was a surprise!
An assistant obliged, and Megs is now mine, yaay!
They had 2 of each, left Prime for now (unbelieveably, the only TFing Prime I have is from the TFA 2-pack!) but snapped up Megs.
I'll post some pics later, too busy having a play just now!
Dirge121:
Leader Prime?
Do you mean the Roll-out Command or Voyager?
Takara_destron:
Goodbye cash!
Jedah:
Great news!! How much are they selling Megs for?

As I didn't see the Prime, but the box said it was Leader, and Megs IS Leader, I'm presuming the same for Prime. Should've checked though, got too excited over Megs!
SPLIT LIP:
You must've seen wrong, as ther is no TFA Leader Class Optimus Prime.
Wonder if it was RO&CP?

The outer boxes were the same barring the word Megs/Prime, I'll pop back the morn to check, don't have time tonight.
Big Bot:
I hope it isn't Voyager Prime. £39.99 for a voyager would be a new low for Hasbro UK.
Chris McFeely:
Aw man, TRU, now it's going to take like six weeks before mine gets him in.
Mr Grimm:
My local Toys R Us didn't have Prime, but they had Megatron and Bulkhead. Two to a box.
Locustreign:
Confirmed!   Fort Max:
Mmmm, Malteasers. 
The toys are good too I guess.
Edit, any sign of spider lady in tru?
Dirge121:
Aargh, do want both.
But what to have as the freebie? Another Bulkhead to do the arm switch? A second Megatron for display in box?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Man, I know my TRU isn't going to have these guys, and yet, I'm still going to go tomorrow. Luckily, though, when the DO show up, I'll be going with another guy who's getting them both too, so we can lump them in together and get one free, and split the cost of the rest.
prime is a legend:
oh shit...and I've got to save my money to go on holiday.  Mr Grimm: Quote:

Jazzrules:
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!
I shall be heading round the corner to the York TRU for opening time tomorrow. They probably wont have any in, but as a backup plan I shall be calling at the Leeds one on my way home from the university open day that I'm helping at on saturday.

Cheers man.
Railguard:
Damit. I can't find anything new!! I live in the wrong area.
DieMaus:
Locustreign: You got those in Warrington? Damnit, I was in there on Monday and they had nothing but Wave 1's! My luck with these things is appalling: first Edinburgh gets all its Animated figures the same week I moved out, now this. 
...but ah well, just gonna have to mosey on down and check again.  The three-for-two offer gives you the cheapest free, right?

zeroXII:
Wish we had that kind of offer here. I'd get 2 bulkheads and switch the sawblade arms around.
RRavage:
Well, just got back from my local TRU in Newbury Park ( london ) and came back with Leader Megatron, Leader Bulkhead, Prowl, Bumblebee, Lockdown, Prime.

Aye, got them in Warrington... despite the fact I live 5 mins walk pretty much from TRU Manchester I always go to Warrington for new stuff cos it's ace, and Manc one sucks.
payres:
Always goto TRUs late Thursday/Friday. they restock in the UK on Thursdays
Boardwise:
Spotted a Leader Megs in Edinburgh.
It's now not there as I bought it along with deluxe Prime and Prowl.
Think there was a Leader Bulkhead, didn't look to closely.
Bogatan:
TRU is Hull had about 10 of each.
Chris McFeely:
Said it over in the sightings thread, but I'll repeat here my unexpected delight to find that the Derry TRU DID get Leaders in today!

Not on topic but I scored a sealed Lugnut from America (so he's here in time to greet Megatron, natch) for £20 inc shipping.  Locustreign: Quote:
