I would buy this as soon as I see it if 74 Bumblebee had clear windows!!!

slightly off topic,
just picked up bb08 at forbidden planet leeds – they had one box of wave 3 deulxes, had to get them to open it for me finally they seeing deluxes!
woolworths must of had it as well as i saw arcee on the shelf but saw nothing else.
i find it odd that people who pre-ordered are getting are getting a raw deal – i phoned up and asked after i bought the one in town only to be told that they hadnt recieved any in the warehouse yet?! – i quickly cancled my pre-order
anyone else been told this?

I can't find either of them…

No probs, I'll have to keep my eyes open for something else to make the front page with Speaking of which, I'm kind of hoping that now Longarm and Payload have been sighted in Canada, they'll be making an appearance in the streetdate breaking John Lewis' soon…
Wow, makes me glad that I rip them out of the box as soon as I get them home – I'm bad enough with turning figures down if I don't think they look perfect, I'm sure I'd end up super neurotic if I cared about the packaging too…
As far as I know Tesco does not equal Target, not in the same way that ASDA and WalMart are the same. I wonder if there are other Target exclusives knocking about (or whether Target and Tesco just bought the rights for their respective territories). Is this the first/only supermarket exclusive to appear here?

I'll tell you what I have noticed with the set though,78 Bumblebee has a sticker on his windscreen saying press button to begin transformation with an arrow clearly pointing to THE BUTTON…………..
looks like Hasbro's complaints line was flooded after the original deluxe release
Erector
You and me both lol
TYS
LOL……………..I'll never know mate (MISB COLLECTOR)………………LOL

Does the 78 BB have the same fault as the majority of the others do?
Great find, just need to build a Tesco near me now
TYS
Got mine today ,they've just come in to the Barrow-in-Furness Tesco,
As regards to bent prongs I wouldn't be surprised if it came like that mate, I went through two cases(three in each box) as the assistant was putting them out to finally get one with no bends on the cards (prongs) on the sides,it looks like that's how they are shipping from the manufacturer which is a bit dissapointing from Hasbro as the MISB brigade is going to struggle I think on this one………………..

Was trying to find your post and couldn't, couldn't remember who'd pointed me in that direction Many apologies!!!

I didn't even know that Bumblebee set was out here in the UK! If you didn't make this thread locust, i probably would never have known! Here in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, the only thing i ever see in excess are the Prime voice-changer helmets!

I cannot find anything at retail here in London. John Lewis Oxford Street had noting, Toys R Us up here had no Deluxes except 1 Brawl, Argos here has run out of Prime/Bee 2-packs, Woolworths has no deluxes, Tesco has Prime helmets and 3-piece table sets. I'm getting so wound up by this!
Oh, my local TK Maxx has the pinball game, and that's it.
All the best
Maz….grmbl…

well i can back up whats-his-names claims, since i just got back from that store, and i did indeed find this pack, in the lego section, though only one remained. they also had a load of optimashes there too, along with about 3000 titanium galvatrons and a few legends

*scrapes at screen* Want. Why does my area stock nothing but old stuff. I never see movie deluxes. I never even knew this set was coming out in the UK.
Easy Tiger
Damn straight…
Actually, I wasn't miffed or anything – I am glad that it was more use this time than my last "I-bought-my-'08-Bumblebee-two-weeks-ago-none-left-now" sighting.
Feeling kind of guilty though, I can see what looks like a crease on the prong on the right side of the box – if that's the case, then it might be me that did it during a fumble-drop-catch moment
TYS
Sorry bud,didn't see your sighting thread
Thanks for the ORIGINAL heads up
Easy Tiger
Oh, it's ok don't thank me or anything
Glad you managed to get one before they went – I'm having real trouble finding movie deluxes at all these days…
Was in the giant Tesco in Stockport earlier today, the only deluxe they had was Classics Bumblebee – outside of the twopack in Prestwich, I've not seen any deluxes anywhere for over a week
Have money would like to spend… It's kind of like buying a Wii all over again
TYS
Thanks mate

tut tut, we have to keep up an image of caring about what the hippies say, if only until the global warming thang goes away like that 'OMG ICEAGE IZ COMING' that came in the 8/70's. i am going to see if i can see this in store just to say we have this before ayone else ha haha
